Lyrics of Diamonds from Sierra Leone (feat. JAY-Z) by Kanye West featuring Jay-Z & JAY-Z
intro
Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me
chorus
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) forever ever? Forever ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
(And ever) ever, ever? Ever, ever?
verse
Good mornin', this ain't Vietnam, still
People lose hands, legs, arms, for real
Little was known of Sierra Leone
And how it connect to the diamonds we own
When I speak of diamonds in this song
I ain't talkin' about the ones that be glowin', I'm talkin' about Roc-a-Fella, my home
My chain, these ain't conflict diamonds
Is they, Jacob? Don't lie to me, mane
verse
See, a part of me sayin' keep shinin'
How when I know what a blood diamond is?
Though it's thousands of miles away
Sierra Leone connect to what we go through today
Over here it's a drug trade, we die from drugs
Over there they die from what we buy from drugs
The diamonds, the chains, the bracelets, the charmses
verse
I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless
'Til I seen a picture of a shorty armless
And here's the conflict
It's in a black person soul to rock that gold
Spend your whole life tryna get that ice
On a Polo rugby, it look so nice
How can somethin' so wrong make me feel so right?
Right? 'Fore I beat myself up like Ike
You can still throw your Roc-a-Fella diamond tonight, because
chorus
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) forever ever? Forever ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
(And ever) ever, ever? Ever, ever?
verse
Uh
People askin' me is I'm gon' give my chain back (uh)
That'll be the same day I give the game back (uh)
You know the next question, dawg, "Yo, where Dame at?" (uh)
This track the Indian dance that bring our rain back (woo)
"What's up with you and Jay, man? Are y'all okay, man?"
verse
Yup
I got it from here, 'Ye, damn
The chain remains, the gang is intact (uh-huh)
The name is mine, I'll take blame for that
The pressure's on, but guess who ain't gon' crack?
Haha, pardon me, I had to laugh at that
How could you falter when you're the Rock of Gibraltar?
I had to get off the boat so I could walk on water
verse
This ain't no tall order, this is nothin' to me
Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week
I do this in my sleep, I sold kilos of coke (so?)
I'm guessin' I can sell CDs
I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man
Let me handle my business, damn
Kanyeez you got me, Freeway then Foxy
verse
YG's, Teairra Mari, Peedi watch me
Bleek could be one hit away his whole career
As long as I'm alive he's a millionaire
And even if I die he's in my will somewhere
So he could just kick back and chill somewhere, oh yeah
He don't even have to write rhymes
The Dynasty like my money: last three lifetimes
verse
Shirley Bassey's in the rear, sayin' exactly
What I been sayin' practically my whole career
The diamond is forever, I've been minin' this forever
Now the Louis Vuitton Don's timin' couldn't be better
People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin'
Instead we rose up from the ash like a phoenix
If you're waitin' for the end of the Dynasty sign
It would seem like forever is a mighty long time (ha)
outro
I'm Young, bitches!
Hahahahaha
Good night!
Writer(s): Kanye West, Andre Benjamin, John Barry, Don Black, Antwan Patton, David A. Sheats, Devon Harris
