You know big wiz yeah my life so crazy

So many things I been take for the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah I fit tell you many things but I say nothing
Say this life naso e be, brother what go be go be

Wizkid “Soundman” Vol 2 Review: Hits & Misses

Lyricism

Wizkid Diamonds Lyrics points to majorly one thing- He is not about the mid life anymore. The way he flaunts his progress and achievements with Diamonds lyrics points to how he is proud of how far he has come and the things he has put in to actually make it this far and still be at the top. I mean, Diamonds is a culmination of the hurdles and dues that Wizkid has encountered and what he is trying to say with the song which indicates that it all paid off. He is no longer someone you would see riding commercial or being in any space that isn’t VIP because he is no longer about that “normal life”

Diamonds lyrics Wizkid

To an extent, Diamonds lyrics shows that Wizkid is more than VIP. I mean, think about it. The normal rating for any service or person is 5 stars, but that does not mean you actually get 5 stars all the time. However, Wizkid is saying with Diamonds lyrics that he gets all the stars because that’s who he is right now, and he has worked hard enough for it.

Delivery

The Delivery on Diamonds is cool. Wizkid delivers it with that cool but really superstar vibe that makes you see that he has indeed arrived into that “Nigerian Dream” lifestyle.

Relatability

Diamonds songwriting makes it really relatable. I mean, the Nigerian Dream is all about making enough money that not only do not have to worry about having money. You get to eat, dine and live wherever you want because you can AFFORD that lifestyle. Wizkid does not use Diamonds to intimidate or unnecessarily flaunt his lifestyle and success. He is saying that he has a right to that lifestyle because he has earned it. This is what it means.
