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