Diamonds is the first single off of his upcoming fourth studio album titled We Only Talk About Real Shit When We’re Fucked Up due sometime in 2023.

When asked what the song means to him he says,

“It stems from the stark realization that, as artists in the public light, our pains and traumas are consistently up for the public’s consumption, We have to continually explore and give more of ourselves to feed the insatiable appetite of the audience.”

Diamonds Lyrics by Bas

[Chorus]
Nothin’ you could do about it, I’ma stay free
Either way you go about it, I’ma stay me
Livin’ out my dreams, don’t be tryna wake me up
You ain’t go for yours, niggas divin’ waist deep
Every damn day, dawg, my diamonds HD
That’s for every day that I had to think cheap
Now we on the road and the commas go for eons
You ain’t go for yours, niggas divin’ waist deep

[Post-Chorus]
But I’ma take leaps, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’ma take leaps, yeah, yeah
I’ma take leaps, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’ma take leaps, yeah, yeah

[Verse]
Shawty tryna give me mine
But I needed more space (I need room)
I was sittin’ courtside (Shit clear)
I seen her there both days (Who you know here?)
Bitch, who the fuck you know out here? (You know)
I never fold or fall for your ways or reasons
I’m so resolved in my ways
I chart a course with thoughts, got no flares or beacons
I hope you saw it my way
Wonder where the day goes, I been out of line
If love is all you need then let me spend my pain
Your nigga make it rain on
Hundred on my wrist just to make it rain on
Look at all the whips, spick and they span
And you feel like you the man
But you cannot rub the stain off
No, you cannot rub the stain off

[Post-Chorus]
But I’ma take leaps, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’ma take leaps, yeah, yeah
I’ma take leaps, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’ma take leaps, yeah, yeah
