Kanye West - Diamonds from Sierra Leone Lyrics

Send "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" ringtones to your cell

Diamonds are forever 
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, forever) 
The rock is still alive every time I rhyme. 
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? 

Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic 
Vegas on acid, 
Seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses 
And I've realized that I've arrived, cuz 
It take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe does 
Does he write his own rhymes?
Well sort of, I think em 
That mean I forgot better shit than u ever thought of 
Damn, is he really that caught up? 
I ask if you talkin' bout glasses, do my name get brought up? 
I remember I couldn't afford a Ford Escort or even a four track recorder
so its only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche 
- its for yourself that's important 
If a stripper named Porscha and u get tips from many men 
Then your fat friend her nickname is minivan 
Excuse me, 
That's just the Henny, man, I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop I cant because 

Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) 
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe 
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) 
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. 
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? 

I was sick about awards 
Couldn't nobody cure me 
Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry 
Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense to them 
30 minutes later seems there's no convincing them 
What more can you ask for? 
The international raw style
Who complains about when he is old? 
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old 
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul 
And wouldn't change by the change, or the game, or the fame, 
When he came, in the game, he made his own name 
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name 
Its Kanye - But some of my plaques - they still say Kayne 
Got family and a deacon, folk from Motown 
Back in the Chi - them folks ain't from Motown 
Life movin? too fast I need to slow down 
Girl ain't give me no ass, ya need to go down 
[Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)] 
My father Ben said I need Jesus 
So he took me to church and let the water wash over my Cesar 
[Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)] 
The preacher said we need leaders 
Right then my body got still like a paraplegic 

You know who you can call you gotta best believe it 
The Roc stand tall and you would never believe it 
Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic 
Yea the beat cold but the flow is anemic 
After debris settles and the dust get swept off 
Big K pick up where young Hov left off 
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off 
I dropped my new shit sound like the best of 
A&R's lookin' like 'pssh we messed up? 
Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up 
Bottle after bottle till we got messed up 
In the studio, where really though, yea he next up 
People askin' me if I'm gon? give my chain back 
That?ll be the day I give the game back 
You know the next question dog 'Yo, where Dame at?? 
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back 
What's up with you and Jay, man, are y'all ok man?? 
They pray for the death of our dynasty like Amen 
R-r-r-right here stands a-man 
With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands? 

Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) 
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe 
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) 
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. 
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? 

Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) 
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
