Lyrics
I'm a-a diva (hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a-a diva (hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva
I'm a, I'm a-a diva (hey), I'm a, I'm a a diva
I'm a, I'm a a diva (hey), I'm a, I'm a a di...

Stop the track, lemme state facts:
I told you, gimme a minute and I'll be right back
Fifty million round the world and they say that I couldn't get it;
I done got so sick and filthy with Benjis, I can't spend it
How you gon' be talking? You act like I just got up in it;
Been the number one diva in this game for a minute!
I know you read the paper - the one that they call a queen,
Every radio round the world know me cause that's where I be

Diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla...
Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla...

This is a stick-up, stick-up (I need them bags and the money...)
We're gonna stick-up, stick-up (You see them ask, "Where that money? ")
All my ladies get it up, I see you, I do the same;
Take it to another level, no passengers on my plane...

I'm a-a diva (hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a-a diva (hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva...

This is brilliant! I always felt a little sorry for Lina, despite ... Lina ... and this is a great character study of what makes her great/awful/tragic/hilarious.

Oh my god, a vid about Lina! Amazing! :D

[cupidsbow]

She's so gorgeous, and this is delightful.

I love this vid a LOT.

This is great, thank you!

I really love the way you show her character arc here and the cutting is fantastic.

[fairestcat]

Wheee, this was fun!

I love your pacing here, it's so bright and fun! And such a great Lina character piece! :)

[skygiants]

LINA LAMONT, the original diva. I love it!

[purplefringe]

This is fab! Such fun. Oh Lina. I particularly enjoy that well-timed kick!

[franzeska]

Loved it! Lina is the best!

I'm just sad that the footage means that it has to end on kind of a down note. I always want Lina to go on being fabulous and have the last laugh somehow.
