Diamonds are foreverâ?¦

They are... all I need to please me


They canâ?¦ stimulate and tease me


They won't leave in the night,

have no fear that they might... desert me







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 everâ?¦




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...









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 !@%!e

(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

Now the Louis 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. (*##$es.

Goodnight!
