| [00:02.23] |
Diamonds are forever |
| [00:05.11] |
They won't leave in the night |
| [00:08.13] |
Have no fear that they might |
| [00:10.52] |
Desert me |
| [00:15.17]Chorus] |
|
| [00:15.44] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [00:18.18] |
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe |
| [00:20.01] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
| [00:22.60] |
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. |
| [00:25.68] |
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... |
| [00:34.55] |
Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic |
| [00:37.20] |
Vegas on acid, |
| [00:38.54] |
Seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses |
| [00:40.13] |
And I've realized that I've arrived, cuz |
| [00:42.88] |
It take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe does |
| [00:45.43] |
he write his own rhymes, so sort of |
| [00:47.00] |
I think 'em |
| [00:47.79] |
That mean I forgot better shit than u ever thought up |
| [00:50.29] |
Damn, is he really that caught up? |
| [00:52.05] |
I ask if you talkin' bout classics, do my name get brought up? |
| [00:54.56] |
I remember I couldn't afford a Ford Escort or even a four-track recorder |
| [00:59.88] |
so its only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche |
| [01:04.06] |
- its for yourself that's important |
| [01:05.22] |
If a stripper named Porscha and u get tips from many men |
| [01:07.87] |
Then your fat friend her nickname is Minivan |
| [01:09.76] |
Excuse me, |
| [01:11.28] |
That's just the Henny, man, I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop I can't because |
| [01:14.46]Chorus] |
|
| [01:15.26] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [01:17.51] |
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe |
| [01:19.88] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
| [01:22.27] |
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. |
| [01:24.57] |
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... |
| [01:34.13] |
I was sick about awards |
| [01:35.23] |
Couldn't nobody cure me |
| [01:36.19] |
Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry |
| [01:39.56] |
Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense to them |
| [01:41.67] |
30 minutes later seems there's no convincing them |
| [01:43.95] |
What more can you ask for? |
| [01:45.54] |
The international assholes nah |
| [01:47.20] |
Who complains about what he is owed? |
| [01:49.16] |
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old |
| [01:51.70] |
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul |
| [01:54.20] |
And wouldn't change by the change, or the game, or the fame, |
| [01:57.21] |
When he came, in the game, he made his own lane |
| [01:59.36] |
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name |
| [02:01.67] |
Its Kanye - But some of my plaques - they still say Kane |
| [02:03.88] |
Got family in the D, Kin-folk from Motown |
| [02:06.89] |
Back in the Chi - them folks ain't from Motown |
| [02:09.38] |
Life movin' too fast I need to slow down |
| [02:11.71] |
Girl ain't give me no ass, ya need to go down |
| [02:14.21] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [02:15.20] |
My father Ben said I need Jesus |
| [02:16.45] |
So he took me to church and let the water wash over my ceaser |
| [02:18.86] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [02:19.54] |
The preacher said we need leaders |
| [02:20.78] |
Right then my body got still like a paraplegic |
| [02:23.89] |
You know who you can call you gotta best believe it |
| [02:26.50] |
The Roc stand tall and you would never believe it |
| [02:28.99] |
Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic |
| [02:31.21] |
Yea the beat cold but the flow is anemic |
| [02:34.09] |
After debris settles and the dust get swept off |
| [02:36.55] |
Big K pick up where young Hov left off |
| [02:39.13] |
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off |
| [02:41.53] |
I dropped my new shit sound like the best of |
| [02:43.99] |
A&R's lookin' like "pssh we messed up" |
| [02:46.28] |
Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up |
| [02:48.74] |
Bottle after bottle till we got messed up |
| [02:51.27] |
In the studio, where really though, yea he next up |
| [02:53.74] |
People askin' me if I'm gon' give my chain back |
| [02:56.25] |
That'll be the same day I give the game back |
| [02:58.76] |
You know the next question dog "Yo, where Dame at?" |
| [03:01.18] |
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back |
| [03:03.74] |
"What's up with you and Jay, man, are y'all ok man?" |
| [03:05.29] |
They pray for the death of our dynasty like Amen |
| [03:08.82] |
R-r-r-right here stands a-man |
| [03:10.55] |
With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands... |
| [03:12.71] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [03:15.87] |
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe |
| [03:18.53] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
| [03:20.69] |
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. |
| [03:23.38] |
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... |
| [03:31.91] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [03:37.79] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
