Them yellow diamonds in my chain, yeah, that must mean I’m rich
Them yellow diamonds in my chain, yeah
I got them VVS’ flashin’ and you know them diamonds brighter than a bitch
You know what we do (Oh, oh yeah) and you know we shinin’ so (Oh)
Just watch ’em glitter, glitter, glitter

The whole room lit up, lit up, lit up, lit up
The whole room lit up
Just watch us glitter, glitter, glitter, glitter
Just watch it glitter
Glitter (Bow, bow, bow, bow)
And I’m shinin’ though
She said it’s nice to meet me (Meet me), my chain is clear like Fiji (Fiji)

She said it’s nice to meet me (Meet me), my chain is clear like Fiji (Fiji, bow)
My diamonds shinin’ blue and red, you think that shit’s in 3D (Bow, bow)
She said it’s nice to meet me (Meet me), my chain is clear like Fiji (Fiji)
My diamonds shinin’ blue and red, you think that shit’s in 3D (3D)
Girl, where you wanna go? (Go) Jamaica or Tahiti? (‘hiti)
Don’t share you with no others, love the money, plus I’m greedy (Bow)
And it’s a piece of cake, I say ’cause I’m a pro (Pro)
You little fake boys, it’s like Pinocchio (Oh)
But I’m in Tokyo, gettin’ massages from these hoes (Ayy)
And you can hate but I’m just flyin’ private on these hoes, ah
Them yellow diamonds in my chain, yeah, that must mean I’m rich
Them yellow diamonds in my chain, yeah
I got them VVS’ flashin’ and you know them diamonds brighter than a bitch (Brighter than a bitch)
You know what we do (Oh, oh yeah) and you know we shinin’ so (Oh)
Just watch ’em glitter, glitter, glitter

The whole room lit up
Just watch us glitter, glitter, glitter, glitter (I’ll probably fuck this up one time proper, nigga)
Just watch it glitter
Glitter (Bow, bow, bow, bow)
And I’m shinin’ though (I said)

I feel like I’m on a vacation, man
So fuck you and your outlet (Fuck you)
Outfit, you can buy mine from— (From where?)

Glitter (Bow, bow, bow, bow)
And I’m shinin’ though (I’m good)
Flashing Wealth and Unapologetic Confidence
“Glitter” by Chris Brown is a bold celebration of luxury and self-assurance. The recurring imagery of “yellow diamonds” and “VVS’ flashin'” showcases the rapper’s affinity for opulence and the pride taken in his success. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lavish lifestyle, where expensive jewelry is not just an accessory but a symbol of status and achievement. The frequent references to glittering chains and a room that “lit up” emphasize the dazzling effect of Brown’s presence and possessions, turning every moment into a spectacle.
Living Large, Living Real
The verses contrast genuine luxury with imitation, as Brown calls out “rhinestone” pretenders and asserts the authenticity of his wealth. Exotic references to places like Jamaica, Tahiti, and Tokyo reinforce a globe-trotting, carefree existence. The playful tone and clever wordplay, such as comparing fake people to Pinocchio, add personality to the track, while the repeated hooks invite listeners to share in the glittering experience.
