Diamonds are forever<br />
They're all I need to please me<br />
They can stimulate or tease me<br />
They won't leave in the night<br />
Have no fear that they might<br />
Desert me<br />
<br />
(Diamonds are forever)<br />
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe<br />
(Diamonds are forever)<br />
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme<br />
(Forever and ever)<br />
<br />
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?<br />
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?<br />
<br />
Good morning, this ain't Vietnam still<br />
People lose hands, legs, arms for real<br />
Little was known of Sierra Leone<br />
And how it connect to the diamonds we own<br />
<br />
When I speak of diamonds in this song<br />
I ain't talkin' 'bout the ones that be glown<br />
I'm talkin' 'bout Roc-A-fella, my home, my chain<br />
These ain't conflict diamonds, is they Jacob? Don't lie to me mayne<br />
<br />
See, a part of me sayin' keep shinin'<br />
How? When I know of the blood diamonds<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 charms es<br />
I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless<br />
<br />
'Til I seen a picture of a shorty armless<br />
And here's the conflict<br />
It's in a black person's soul to rock that gold<br />
Spend ya whole life tryna get that ice<br />
<br />
On a polar rugby, it look so nice<br />
How could somethin' so wrong make me feel so right, right?<br />
'Fore I beat myself up like Ike<br />
You could still throw ya Roc-A-fella diamond tonight, 'cause<br />
<br />
(Diamonds are forever)<br />
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe<br />
(Diamonds are forever)<br />
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme<br />
(Forever and ever)<br />
<br />
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?<br />
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?<br />
<br />
People askin' me is I'm 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 to bring our reign back<br />
<br />
"Wassup wit you a Jay man, are y'all okay man?"<br />
Yep, I got it from her 'ye damn<br />
<br />
The chain remains, the gang is in tact<br />
The name is mine, I'll take blame for that<br />
The pressure's on, but guess who ain't gon' crack?<br />
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<br />
I sold kilos of coke, so? I'm guessin' I can sell CD's<br />
I'm not a business man, I'm a business, man<br />
Let me handle my business, damn<br />
<br />
Kanyeez you got me, Freeway and Foxy<br />
YG, Teairra Mari, Petey 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 />
And even if I die, he's in my will somewhere<br />
So he can just kick back and chill somewhere, oh yeah<br />
He don't even have to write rhymes<br />
The Dynasty like my money last three lifetimes<br />
<br />
Shirley Bassey was in the rear sayin' exactly<br />
What I was sayin' practically me whole career<br />
The 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 from the ash like a phoenix<br />
If you watin' for the end of the dynasty sign<br />
It would seem like forever is a mighty long time<br />
I'm young, bitches<br />
(Forever and ever)<br />
Goodnight
