[Intro]
Diamonds are forever
They re all I need to please me
They can t stimulate or tease me
They won t leave in the night
Have no fear that they might
Desert me
[Hook]
"Diamonds are forever forever forever"
Throw ya diamonds in the sky
If you feel the vibe
"Diamonds are forever forever forever"
The ROC is still alive
Everytime I rhyme
"Forever and ever!"
For ever ever? for ever ever? ever ever?
Ever ever? ever ever? ever ever? ever ever?
[Verse 1]
Good Morning, this ain t Vietnam still
People lose hands, legs, arms for real
Little was known of Sierra Leone
And how it connect to the diamonds we own
When I speak of Diamonds in this song
I ain t talkin bout the ones that be glown
I m talkin bout Rocafella, my home, my chain
These ain t conflict diamonds,is they Jacob? don t lie to me mayne
See, a part of me sayin keep shinin ,
How? when I know of the blood diamonds
Though it s thousands of miles away
Sierra Leone connect to what we go through today
Over here, its a drug trade, we die from drugs
Over there, they die from what we buy from drugs
The diamonds, the chains, the bracelets, the charmses
I thought my Jesus Piece was so harmless
til I seen a picture of a shorty armless
And here s the conflict
It s in a black person s soul to rock that gold
Spend ya whole life tryna get that ice
On a polar rugby it look so nice
How could somethin so wrong make me feel so right, right?
fore I beat myself up like Ike
You could still throw ya Rocafella diamond tonight, cause
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
[Kanye From Original Song]
People askin me is I m gon give my chain back (uh)
That ll be the same day I give the game back (uh)
You know the next question dog yo, where Dame at? (uh)
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back (whoo!)
wassup wit you a Jay man, are ya ll okay man?
[Jay-Z]
Yep!
I got it from her ye damn!
The chain remians, the gang is in tact
The name is mine, I ll take blame for that
The pressure s on, but guess who ain t gon crack? [laughs]
Pardon me I had to laugh at that
How could you falter when you re the rock of gibralter
I had to get of the boat so I could walk on water
This ain t no tour order, this is nothin to me
Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week
I do this in my sleep,
I sold Kilos of coke, (so?) I m guessin I can sell CD s
I m not a buisness man I m a buisness, man
Let me handle my buisness, damn!
Kanyeez you got me, Freeway and Foxy
YG , Teairra Mari, Petey watch me
Bleek could be one hit away his whole career
As long as I m alive, he s a millionaire
And even if I die, he s in my will somewhere
So he can just kick back and chill somewhere, oh yeah
He don t even have to write rhymes
The Dynasty like my money last three lifetimes
Shirley Bassey was in the rear sayin exactly
What I was sayin practically me whole carreer
The diamond is forever, I been mindin this forever
Now the Louis Vuitton Don s timin couldn t be better
People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin
Instead we rose from the ash like a phoenix
If you waitin for the end, the dynasty signed
And what seemed like forever is a mighty long time
I m young bitches [laughs]
Goodnight!
