[Intro]
|
Diamonds are forever
|
They won`t leave in the night
|
Have 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 plaques - 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)
|
