[Intro: Shirley Bassey sample]

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

[Hook: Kanye West] + (sample)

(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 everytime I rhyme

(Forever...)

Forever ever? Forever ever?

Ever ever? Ever ever?

Ever ever? Ever ever? Ever ever?

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

Good morning, this ain't Vietnam still

People lose hands, legs, arms, fo' real

Little was known on Sierra Leone

And 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 's

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

And 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

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Kanye West]

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/rain back

What's up with you and Jay, man?

Are y'all okay man?

[Jay-Z]

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

And even if I die he's in my will somewhere

So he could just kick back and 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

And what seem like forever is a mighty long time

[Outro: Jay-Z] + (sample)

(Forever...)

Uh, Young, bitches

Haha

Goodnight!
