Diamonds are forever… They are... all I need to please me They can… stimulate and tease me They won’t leave in the night, have no fear that they might... desert me
[chorus] Diamonds are forever: Throw ya diamonds in the sky if ya feel the vibe Diamonds are forever: The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme Forever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever…
Good morning, this ain't Vietnam, still people lose hands, legs, arms for real Little was known of Sierra Leone, and how it connects to the diamonds we own When I speak of diamonds in this song, I ain't talking bout the ones that be glowin’, I'm talking bout Rocafella, my home, my chain, these ain't conflict diamonds, is they Jacob? Don't lie to me man See a part of me saying keep shining, how? When I know of the blood diamonds, 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 charms’s I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless till 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 ya whole life trying to get that ice On that polo rugby it look so nice, how could something so wrong make me feel so right, right? Before I beat myself up like Ike You can still throw ya Rocafella diamond tonight because...
[chorus]
People asking me if I’m gone give my chain back *Unh* That'll be the same day I give the game back *Unh* You know the next question dog, yo where Dame at? *Unh* This track the Indian dance to bring our reign/rain back *Whoo* What's up with you and Jay man, is y'all okay man?
Jay-Z: Yup! I got it from here 'Ye (yay), damn. The chain remains, the gang is intact The name is mine, I'll take blame for that The pressures on, but guess who ain't gon' crack? *Ha Ha* Pardon me, I had to laugh at that How could you falter? When you're the Roc of Gibraltar I had to get off the boat so I could walk on water This ain't no tall order, this is nothing to me Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week I do this in my sleep, I sold kilo's of coke (So) I'm guessing I can sell CD's I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man! Let me handle my business, damn Kanye, he got me, Freeway and Foxy, YGz, Teira Marie, Peedi watch me Bleek could be one hit away ya 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 can just kick back and chill some where, oh yeah He won't even have to write rhymes, The dynasty, like my money last three lifetimes Shirley Bassey's in the rear saying exactly what I been saying practically my whole career The diamond is forever, I been mining this forever ever Even Vuitton Don's timing couldn't be better People lined up to see the Titanic sinking stead we rose from the ash like a phoenix If ya waiting for the end of the dynasty sign It would seem like forever is a mighty long time! I'm. Young. Bitches. Goodnight!
