Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix) ft. JAY-Z Lyrics

Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix) ft. JAY-Z - Kanye West

...

Chorus

Diamonds are forever

is all i need to please me

they cant stimulate or tease me

they wont leave in the night

have no fear that they might dessert me.

verse

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

Forever ever? Forever 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, so sort of, I think, um

That mean I forgot better shit than you ever thought up

Damn, is he really that caught up?

I ask if you talkin' bout 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 a stripper named 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

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 to them

30 minutes later seems there's no convincing them

What more could you ask for?

The international assholes nah

Who complain about what he is owed?

And throw a tantrum like he is three 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 plastic still say Kane

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 give me no ass, ya need to go down

My father Ben said I need Jesus

So he took me to church and let the water wash over my ceaser

The preacher said we need leaders

Right then my body got still like a paraplegic

You know who you can call you gotta best believe it

The Roc stand tall and 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 get 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&R's lookin' like "Pssh, we messed up"

Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up

Bottle after bottle 'til we got messed up

In the studio, where really though, yea 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

R-r-r-right here stands a-man

With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands

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

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)
