1
Diamonds are forever
2
They won't leave in the night
3
Have no fear that they might desert me
4
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
5
(Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe)
6
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever, forever
7
(The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme)
8
Forever, forever
9
(Forever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever)
10
Close your eyes and imagine
11
Feel the magic, Vegas on acid
12
Seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses
13
And I've realized that I've arrived
14
'Cuz it take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe
15
Does he write his own rhymes, so sort of I think 'em
16
That mean I forgot better shit than you ever thought up
17
Damn, is he really that caught up?
18
I ask if you talkin' 'bout classics, do my name get brought up?
19
I remember I couldn't afford a Ford Escort or even a four-track recorder
20
So it's only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche
21
It's for yourself that's important
22
If a stripper named Porscha and you get tips from many men
23
Then your fat friend her nickname is Minivan
24
Excuse me, that's just the Henny, man
25
I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop, I can't because
26
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
27
(Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe)
28
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever, forever
29
(The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme)
30
Forever, forever
31
(Forever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever)
32
I was sick about awards, couldn't nobody cure me
33
Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry
34
Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense to them
35
Thirty minutes later seems there's no convincing them
36
What more can you ask for? The international assholes
37
Who complains about what he is owed
38
And throw a tantrum like he is three years old
39
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul
40
And wouldn't change by the change or the game or the fame
41
When he came in the game, he made his own lane
42
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name
43
It's Kanye but some of my plaques, they still say Kane
44
Got family in the D, Kin-folk from Motown
45
Back in the Chi, them folks ain't from Motown
46
Life movin' too fast, I need to slow down
47
Girl, ain't give me no ass, ya need to go down
48
My father Ben said I need Jesus
49
So he took me to church and let the water wash over my ceaser
50
The preacher said we need leaders
51
Right then my body got still like a paraplegic
52
You know who you can call, you gotta best believe it
53
The Roc stand tall and you would never believe it
54
Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic
55
Yeah, the beat cold but the flow is anemic
56
After debris settles and the dust get swept off
57
Big K pick up where young Hov left off
58
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off
59
I dropped my new shit, it sound like the best of
60
A&R's lookin' like, "Pssh we messed up"
61
Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up
62
Bottle after bottle till we got messed up
63
In the studio where really though, yeah, he next up
64
People askin' me if I'm gon' give my chain back
65
That'll be the same day I give the game back
66
You know the next question dog, "Yo, where Dame at?"
67
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back
68
"What's up with you and Jay, man, are y'all okay man?"
69
They pray for the death of our dynasty like Amen
70
Right here stands A-man
71
With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands
72
Diamonds are forever forever, forever
73
(Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe)
74
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever, forever
75
(The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme)
76
Forever, forever
77
(Forever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever)
78
(Ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever)
79
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
80
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
81
Forever, forever
