par Kanye West
lyricscopy.com
Chorus:
"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?
Verse 1 Kanye:
Good Morning, this ain´t Vietnam still
People lose hands, legs, arms for real
Little is 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 glowin
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 polo rugby it look so nice
How could somethin´ so wrong make me feel so right, right?
Before I beat myself up like Ike
You could still throw ya Rocafella diamond tonight, ´cause
Chorus:
"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 2 Kanye:
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!)
What´s up wit you a Jay man, are ya´ll okay man?´
Jay-Z:
Yep!
I got it from here ´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]
Part of 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 tall 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´z, Teairra Mari, Peedi 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´s in the rear sayin exactly
What I was sayin practically my 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 watin for the end of the dynasty sign
It will seem like forever is a mighty long time
I´m young bitches [laughs]
Goodnight!
