Diamonds from Sierra Leone (Live at Live 8, Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia, 2nd July 2005|Explicit) - Ye

Diamonds are forever

They won't leave in the night

I've 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 forever

The roc is still alive every time I rhyme

Forever ever forever ever

Ever ever ever ever

Ever 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 st

Laurent glasses

And I've realized that I've arrived

'Cause it take more than a magazine

To kill my vibe

Does he write his own rhymes

Well sort of I think 'em

That mean I forgot better

S**t than you ever thought of

D**n is he really that caught up

I ask if you talked about

Classics do my name get brought up

I remember I couldn't afford a ford escort

Or even a four-track recorder

So it's only right that

I let the top drop on a drop-top porsche

It's for yourself that's important

If your stripper name porscha and you get tips from many men

Then your fat friend her nickname is minivan

Excuse me that's just the henny man

I smoke I drink I'm supposed to stop I can't because

Diamonds are forever

Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe

Diamonds are forever forever

The roc is still alive every time I rhyme

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 but kept all his jewelry

Alicia keys tried to talk some sense in him

30 minutes later sein' there's no convincin' him

What more could you ask for the international asshole

Who complain about what he is owed

And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old

You gotta love it though somebody still speaks 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 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 moe town

Life movin' too fast I need to slow down

Girl ain't give me no a*s ya need to go down

My father been 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 call you got a message then leave it

The roc stand tall and 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 get swept off

Big k pick up where young hov left off

Right when magazines wrote kanye west off

I dropped my new s**t it sound like the best of

Ar's lookin' like pssh we messed up

Grammy night d**n right we got dressed up

Bottle after bottle till we got messed up

In the studio with really doe yeah he next up

People askin' me if I'm gon' give my chain back

That'll 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

What's up with you and jay man are y'all ok man

They pray for the death of our dynasty like amen

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

Everybody

Everybody

The roc is still alive every time I rhyme

Said

Forever ever forever ever ever ever

Ever ever

Ever ever ever ever ever ever

Ever ever ever ever ever ever
