Diamonds

Diamonds are forever

They won't leave in the night

Have no fear that they might desert me(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)

Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)

The Roc is still alive every time

I rhyme(Forever and ever)

Forever ever, forever ever, ever ever

Ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever

Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic,

Vegas on acid

Seen through

Yves Saint

Laurent glasses

And I realize that

I've arrived'

Cuz it took more than a magazine to kill my vibe

Does he write his own rhymes, just sort of

I think 'em, that mean

I forgot better shit than you ever thought of

Damn, is he really that caught up?

I ask, "If we talk about classics do my name get brought up?"

I remember

I couldn't afford

A Ford Escort or even a 4 track recorder

So it's only right that

I let the top drop on a drop

Top Porsche spoil yourself, that's important

If you a stripper named

Porsche and you get tips from any man

Then your fat friend, her nickname is

MinivanExcuse me, that's just the

Henney man

I smoke, I drink,

I'm supposed to stop,

I can't because(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)

Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)

The Roc is still alive every time

I rhyme(Forever and ever)

Forever ever, forever ever, ever ever

Ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever

I was sick about awards, couldn't nobody cure me

Only playa that got robbed and kept all his jewelry

Alicia Keys try talk some sense in him

Thirty minutes later seen there's no convincin' him

What more could you ask for, the international asshole

Who complains about what he is owed

And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old

You gotta love it tho somebody still speak from his soul

And wouldn't change by the chains 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

It's Kanye, but some of my plaques, they still say

KayneGot family in the

D, Kin Folk from

MotownBack in the chi them folks ain't from

MotownLife movin' too fast

I need to slow down

Girl ain't gimme no ass, she need to go down

My father

Ben said I need

Jesus so he took me to church(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)

And let the water wash over my

CaesarThe preacher said we need leaders(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)

Right then my body got still like a paraplegic

You know who you could call, you got a message then leave it(Forever and ever)

The Roc stand tall or you would never believe it

Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic

Yeah, the beat cold but the flow is anemic

After debris settles and the dust gets swept off

Big K pick up where young

Hov left off

Right when magazines wrote

Kanye West off

I dropped my new shit it sound like the best of

A and R's lookin' like, "Pshh, we messed up"

Grammy night, damn right we got dressed up

Bottle after bottle till we got messed up

In the studio where

Really Doe, yeah he next up

People askin' me, "Is I'm gon' give my chain back?"

That'd 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

Wassup wit you and

Jay man, are y'all okay man?

They pray for the death of our dynasty like

AmenR-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)

The Roc is still alive every time

I rhyme(Forever and ever)

Forever ever, forever ever, ever ever

Ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever

Ever ever, ever ever, ever ever

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever

Forever
