[Intro] |
|
Diamonds are forever |
|
They won't leave in the night |
|
I've no fear that they might |
|
Desert me |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
|
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe |
|
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
|
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. |
|
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... |
|
Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic |
|
Vegas on acid, |
|
Seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses |
|
And I've realized that I've arrived, cuz |
|
It take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe does |
|
he write his own rhymes, so sort of |
|
I think 'em |
|
That mean I forgot better shit than u ever thought up |
|
Damn, is he really that caught up? |
|
I ask if you talkin' bout classics, do my name get brought up? |
|
I remember I couldn't afford a Ford Escort or even a four-track recorder |
|
so its only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche |
|
- its for yourself that's important |
|
If a stripper named Porscha and u get tips from many men |
|
Then your fat friend her nickname is Minivan |
|
Excuse me, |
|
That's just the Henny, man, I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop I can't because |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
|
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe |
|
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
|
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. |
|
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... |
|
I was sick about awards |
|
Couldn't nobody cure me |
|
Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry |
|
Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense to them |
|
30 minutes later seems there's no convincing them |
|
What more can you ask for? |
|
The international assholes nah |
|
Who complains about what he is owed? |
|
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old |
|
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul |
|
And wouldn't change by the change, or the game, or the fame, |
|
When he came, in the game, he made his own lane |
|
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name |
|
Its Kanye - But some of my plastic - they still say Kane |
|
Got family in the D, Kin-folk from Motown |
|
Back in the Chi - them folks ain't from Motown |
|
Life movin' too fast I need to slow down |
|
Girl ain't give me no ass, ya need to go down |
|
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
|
My father Ben said I need Jesus |
|
So he took me to church and let the water wash over my ceaser |
|
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
|
The preacher said we need leaders |
|
Right then my body got still like a paraplegic |
|
You know who you can call you gotta best believe it |
|
The Roc stand tall and you would never believe it |
|
Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic |
|
Yea the beat cold but the flow is anemic |
|
After debris settles and the dust get swept off |
|
Big K pick up where young Hov left off |
|
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off |
|
I dropped my new shit sound like the best of |
|
A&R's lookin' like "pssh we messed up" |
|
Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up |
|
Bottle after bottle till we got messed up |
|
In the studio, where really though, yea he next up |
|
People askin' me if I'm gon' give my chain back |
|
That'll be the same day I give the game back |
|
You know the next question dog "Yo, where Dame at?" |
|
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back |
|
"What's up with you and Jay, man, are y'all ok man?" |
|
They pray for the death of our dynasty like Amen |
|
R-r-r-right here stands a-man |
|
With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands... |
|
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
|
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe |
|
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
|
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. |
|
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... |
|
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
|
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
