Diamonds - Kanye West

Diamonds are forever

They won’t leave in the night, have no fear that they might

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 everytime I rhyme

Forever…

Forever eva, forever eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva

Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic

Vegas on acid, seen through East St. Laurent glasses

And I realise that I’ve arrived

'Cause it take more than a magazine to kill my vibe, does

He write his own rhymes, sort of, I think 'em

That mean I forgat better shit than you ever thought of Damn, is he really that caught up I ask, if you talk about clasics 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 Porche

It’s spoilin’yourself thats important

If you striper name Porcha and you get tips from many men

Then your fat friend, her nickname is mini-van

Excuse me, that’s just the Henni, 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 everytime I rhyme

Forever…

Forever eva, forever eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva

I was sick about awards, couldn’t nobody cure me Only player that got robbed and kept all his jewlery

Alicia Keys tried talk some sense in him

Thrity minutes later saw his note convincin’him

What mo’could you ask fo'

The international asshole

Who complained about what he is owed

And throw a tantrem like he is three years old

You gotta love it though

Somebody still speak 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 ya’ll to pronounce my name

Is Kanye but some of my plaques still say Kayne

Got family in the?

D-King?, folks from Mo Town

Back in Chi, them folks ain’t from?

Mo Town?

Life movin’too fast, I need to slow down

Girl ain’t give me no ass, she need to go down

My father Ben said I need Jesus, so he took me to church

And let the water let the water run over my?

sleezer?

The preacher said we need leaders

Right then my body got steel, like a paraplegic

You know who you call, you got a message to leave it The Roc stand tall, and you would never believe it Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic

Ya, the beat cold but the flow is anemic

After debris settles and the dust gets swept off

Big K kick it where young Hov left off

Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off

I drop my new shit, it sound like the best of

A&Rs lookin like phhttt we messed up Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up Bottle after bottle 'till we got messed up In the studio, we really though, ya he next up People askin’me is I gon’give my chain back

That’ll be the same day I give the game back

You know the next question all yo, where Dame at?

He’s tracked the Indian dance to bring our rain back

What’s up with you and Jay, man?

Are ya’ll okay, man?

They pray for the death of our dynasty like Amen

R-r-r-r-right here stand 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 everytime I rhyme

Forever…

Forever eva, forever eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever

Forever…
