[Chorus]
You better ask somebody (Who's nicest)
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
You better ask somebody (Can't buy this)
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
[Turntablism: DJ 2Buck]
"You can't buy this"
"Buy this" "You can't-"
"You can't buy this"
"Buy this"
[Verse 1: Joe New]
Yo, you watch and wait while I lurk and listen
I'm playing first division, holding a permanent position
Here the blessed proper, it's not about the extra dollar
I'm next up on the track, it's Joe New, guest of honour
On this beat masterpiece, my unique art degrees
Are icing on the cake, feel your feet start to freeze
When you're next after me, best believe this be honesty
Diggin' to my past and discovered through archaeology
My quality's eloquent, possibly better than
Anything you probably heard, I'm methodically telling
That I'm a breath of fresh air in a city of pollution
You're on the death chair and you're needin' a solution
I'm takin' it to 'em, 'cause they're dyin' to find an antidote
Trying to put a price on every side of Michelangelo
Bright like a candle glow, reppin' with the Gully P
Suckers couldn't buy their skills if they got their money free
[Chorus]
You better ask somebody (Who's nicest)
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
You better ask somebody (Can't buy this)
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
[Turntablism: DJ 2Buck]
"You can't buy this"
"Buy this" "You can't-"
"You can't buy this"
"Buy this"
[Verse 2: Pegz]
Joe New, with a platinum jump start to Datsun
Break out the goon bag, pump up the bangers
You know the maxim, seeking destroyed rappers
Speaking of complex, a completely devoid patent
And tell Carl Sanders the people enjoy dancing
Play my shit, or I'm keyin' his Royce Phantom
I'm a b-boy assassin, guard your post
B-girls dressed to kill, army clothes
Gully Platoon, M-Phazes, it's adios
We got your whole crew shook like the Somali coast
We march like ghosts on a meth apparition
Dropping heat like Frosty Freeze, dead man at Lincoln
Left hand like a Rembrandt, penning conniptions
Contemporary flow, with a respect for tradition
My premonition's like a mental affliction
Little Ben, rest in peace, everything's different
[Chorus]
You better ask somebody (Who's nicest)
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
You better ask somebody (Can't buy this)
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
[Turntablism: DJ 2Buck]
"You can't buy this"
"Buy this" "You can't-"
"You can't buy this"
"Buy this"
[Verse 3: Dialectrix]
Just sit and breathe, take a breath with the beats, they commence
Synergy, givin' me inner peace, state of zen
A to Z, twenty-six characters that I lay to rest
Any problem a part of my soul that I arrange in text
Catch rec, but never directed what my heart compose
And stay forever like set in stone
'Cause dough happens to practically own us with greed
But won't catch up or match any growth I achieve
We switch the picture, I'm the richer life you're needin'
I'm a professional, knower of what I need with
A proper chance at the dosh and grandeur, but propaganda
Wanna damn a common man like the planner of Warragamba
Animosity's back in its hole
'Cause my blessed life'll get you high like tetrahydrocannabinol
Holed in diamonds and gold, man, priceless
From the metaphorical gems of what my life is
[Chorus]
You better ask somebody (Who's nicest)
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
Diamonds are forever but the skills are priceless
You better ask somebody (Can't buy this)
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
Money in the bank but the skills are priceless
[Turntablism: DJ 2Buck]
"You can't buy this"
"Buy this" "You can't-"
"You can't buy this"
"Buy this"
