Kanye West - Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix) Lyrics

Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can't stimulate or tease me
They won't leave in the night
Have 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)
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme

(Forever)
Forever ever? Forever ever?
Ever ever? Ever ever?
(And ever)
Ever ever? Ever ever? Ever ever?

Good mornin', this ain't Vietnam still
People lose hands, legs, arms fo' real
Little was known on Sierra Leone
An' how it connect to the diamonds we own

When I spit the diamonds in this song
I ain't talkin' 'bout the ones that be glowin'
I'm talkin' 'bout Roc-a-Fella, my home
My chain, this ain't conflict diamonds
Is they Jacob? Don't lie to me, man

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
I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless

'Til I seen a picture of a shorty armless
An' here's the conflict
It's in a black person soul to rock that gold
Spend your while life tryin' to get that ice

On a Polo rugby, it look so nice
How can something 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

(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?
(And ever)
Ever ever? Ever ever? Ever ever?

People askin' me is am I 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 that bring our reign back

What's up with you an' Jay, man? Are y'all okay, man?
Yup, I got it from here, 'Ye, damn
The chain remains, the game is intact
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
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
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
YG's, Tiar', 'Merie, Peedi, watch me
Bleek could be one hit away his whole career
As long as I'm alive, he's a millionaire

An' even if I die, he's in my will somewhere
So he could just kick back an' chill somewhere
Oh, yeah, he don't even hafta write rhymes
The Dynasty like my money last three lifetimes

Shirley Bassey's in the red sayin' exactly
What I been sayin' practically my whole career
A diamond is forever, I 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 waitin' for the end, the Dynasty sign
An' what seem like forever is a mighty long time

(Forever and ever)
Young, bitches, haha, goodnight
