Diamonds are forever<br />
They are all I need to please me<br />
They can't stimulate or tease me<br />
They won't leave in the night<br />
Have no fear that they might desert me<br />
<br />
(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)<br />
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe<br />
(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)<br />
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme<br />
<br />
(Forever)<br />
Forever ever? Forever ever?<br />
Ever ever? Ever ever?<br />
(And ever)<br />
Ever ever? Ever ever? Ever ever?<br />
<br />
Good mornin', this ain't Vietnam still<br />
People lose hands, legs, arms fo' real<br />
Little was known on Sierra Leone<br />
An' how it connect to the diamonds we own<br />
<br />
When I spit the diamonds in this song<br />
I ain't talkin' 'bout the ones that be glowin'<br />
I'm talkin' 'bout Roc-a-Fella, my home<br />
My chain, this ain't conflict diamonds<br />
Is they Jacob? Don't lie to me, man<br />
<br />
See, a part of me sayin', "Keep shinin'"<br />
How? When I know what a blood diamond is<br />
Though it's thousands of miles away<br />
Sierra Leone connect to what we go through today<br />
<br />
Over here it's a drug trade, we die from drugs<br />
Over there they die from what we buy from drugs<br />
The diamonds, the chains, the bracelets, the charmses<br />
I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless<br />
<br />
'Til I seen a picture of a shorty armless<br />
An' here's the conflict<br />
It's in a black person soul to rock that gold<br />
Spend your while life tryin' to get that ice<br />
<br />
On a Polo rugby, it look so nice<br />
How can something so wrong make me feel so right?<br />
Right 'fore I beat myself up like Ike<br />
You can still throw your Roc-a-Fella diamond tonight<br />
Because<br />
<br />
(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)<br />
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe<br />
(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)<br />
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme<br />
<br />
(Forever)<br />
Forever ever? Forever ever?<br />
Ever ever? Ever ever?<br />
(And ever)<br />
Ever ever? Ever ever? Ever ever?<br />
<br />
People askin' me is am I gon' give my chain back<br />
That'll be the same day I give the game back<br />
You know the next question, dog, "Yo, where Dame at?"<br />
This track the Indian dance that bring our reign back<br />
<br />
What's up with you an' Jay, man? Are y'all okay, man?<br />
Yup, I got it from here, 'Ye, damn<br />
The chain remains, the game is intact<br />
The name is mine, I'll take blame for that<br />
The pressure's on but guess who ain't gon' crack?<br />
Haha, pardon me, I had to laugh at that<br />
<br />
How could you falter when you're the Rock of Gibraltar?<br />
I had to get off the boat so I could walk on water<br />
This ain't no tall order, this is nothin' to me<br />
Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week<br />
<br />
I do this in my sleep, I sold kilos of coke<br />
I'm guessin' I can sell CDs<br />
I'm not a businessman, I'm a business man<br />
Let me handle my business, damn<br />
<br />
Kanyeez, you got me, Freeway then Foxy<br />
YG's, Tiar', 'Merie, Peedi, watch me<br />
Bleek could be one hit away his whole career<br />
As long as I'm alive, he's a millionaire<br />
<br />
An' even if I die, he's in my will somewhere<br />
So he could just kick back an' chill somewhere<br />
Oh, yeah, he don't even hafta write rhymes<br />
The Dynasty like my money last three lifetimes<br />
<br />
Shirley Bassey's in the red sayin' exactly<br />
What I been sayin' practically my whole career<br />
A diamond is forever, I been minin' this forever<br />
Now the Louis Vuitton Don's timin' couldn't be better<br />
<br />
People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin'<br />
Instead we rose up from the ash like a Phoenix<br />
If you waitin' for the end, the Dynasty sign<br />
An' what seem like forever is a mighty long time<br />
<br />
(Forever and ever)<br />
Young, bitches, haha, goodnight
