Diamonds are forever,

They won't leave in the night,

Have no fear that they mightdesert me



[Chrous]

(Diamonds are forever)

Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe,

(Diamonds are forever)

The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme

For ever ever, for ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever



[Verse 1]

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 Minivan

Excuse me, that's just the Henney man

I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop

I can't because



[Chorus]

 (Diamonds are forever)

Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe,

(Diamonds are forever)

The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme

For ever ever, for ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever



[Verse 2]

I was sick abput 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 Kayne.

Got family in the D

KIN FOLK from MoTown

Back in the CHI them folks ain't from MoTown

Life 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

And let the water wash over my CAESAR

The preacher said we need leaders

Right THEN my body got still like a paraplegic 

You know who you could call

You got a message then leave it

The Roc stand tall or you would never believe it

Take your diamonds and throw ‘em up like you bulimic

Yea 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, “pshhh, 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, yea 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 ok man?

They pray for the death of our dynasty like Amen

R-r-r-right here stands a man 

With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands



[Chorus]

(Diamonds are forever)

Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe,

(Diamonds are forever)

The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme

For ever ever, for ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever



(Diamonds are forever)

(Diamonds are forever)
