We'll run to the future, shining like diamonds
In a rocky world, rocky-rocky world

from Frank Ocean – Pyramids Lyrics on Rap Genius

Diamonds are often called “rocks”, and are known as “precious stones”. This person is promising Cleopatra a future where they’ll be “diamonds in the rough”; shining figures in a dark and gloomy world

While this could be the Pharaoh talking about his future if he had Cleopatra back, it also sounds like the kind of promises a pimp might make to a girl he’s trying to turn out, or like anybody who tries to exploit another person (this will make sense later)
