[Intro:]
2
Diamonds are forever
3
They won't leave in the night
4
Have no fear that they might
5
Desert me
6
[Chorus:]
7
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
8
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
9
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
10
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme.
11
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?......
12
Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic
13
Vegas on acid,
14
Seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses
15
And I've realized that I've arrived, 'cause
16
It take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe does
17
He write his own rhymes, so sort of
18
I think 'em
19
That mean I forgot better shit than you ever thought up
20
Damn, is he really that caught up?
21
I ask if you talkin' bout classics, do my name get brought up?
22
I remember I couldn't afford a Ford Escort or even a four-track recorder
23
So it's only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche
24
- it's for yourself that's important
25
If a stripper named Porscha and you get tips from many men
26
Then your fat friend her nickname is Minivan
27
Excuse me,
28
That's just the Henny, man, I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop I can't because
29
[Chorus:]
30
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
31
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
32
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
33
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme.
34
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?......
35
I was sick about awards
36
Couldn't nobody cure me
37
Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry
38
Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense to 'em
39
30 minutes later seems there's no convincing 'em
40
What more can you ask for?
41
The international asshole nah
42
Who complains about what he is owed?
43
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old
44
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul
45
And wouldn't change by the change, or the game, or the fame,
46
When he came, in the game, he made his own lane
47
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name
48
Its Kanye - But some of my plaques - they still say Kane
49
Got family in the D, Kin-folk from Motown
50
Back in the Chi - them folks ain't from Motown
51
Life movin' too fast I need to slow down
52
Girl ain't give me no ass, ya need to go down
53
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
54
My father Ben said I need Jesus
55
So he took me to church and let the water wash over my ceaser
56
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
57
The preacher said we need leaders
58
Right then my body got still like a paraplegic
59
You know who you can call you gotta best believe it
60
The Roc stand tall and you would never believe it
61
Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic
62
Yea the beat cold but the flow is anemic
63
After debris settles and the dust get swept off
64
Big K pick up where young Hov left off
65
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off
66
I dropped my new shit sound like the best of
67
A&R's lookin' like "pssh we messed up"
68
Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up
69
Bottle after bottle till we got messed up
70
In the studio, where really though, yea he next up
71
People askin' me if I'm gon' give my chain back
72
That'll be the same day I give the game back
73
You know the next question dog "Yo, where Dame at?"
74
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back
75
"What's up with you and Jay, man, are y'all ok man?"
76
They pray for the death of our dynasty like Amen
77
Are-are-are-right here stands a-man
78
With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands...
79
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
80
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
81
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
82
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme.
83
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?......
84
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
85
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
