diamonds from sierra leone - prodak42117 lyrics

[intro: shirley bassey]
diamonds are forever
they are all i need to please me
they can stimulate and tease me
they won’t leave in the night
i’ve no fear that they might desert me

[chorus: kanye west & shirley bassey]
diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
forever, forever (throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe)
diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
forever, forever (the roc is still alive every time i rhyme)
(forever) forever ever? forever ever?
ever, ever? ever, ever? ever, ever?
(and ever) ever, ever? ever, ever?

[verse 1: kanye west]
good mornin’, this ain’t vietnam, still
people lose hands, legs, arms, for real
little was known of sierra leone
and how it connect to the diamonds we own
when i speak of 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, these ain’t conflict diamonds
is they, jacob? don’t lie to me, mane
see, a part of me sayin’ keep shinin’
how when i know what a blood diamond is?
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 whole life tryna get that ice
on a polo rugby, it look so nice
how can somethin’ 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
[chorus: shirley bassey & kanye west]
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 every time i rhyme
forever ever? forever ever? ever, ever? ever, ever?
ever, ever? ever, ever? ever, ever?

[verse 2: kanye west]
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
’cause it take more than a magazine to k!ll my vibe
“does he write his own rhymes?” well, sort of, i think ’em
that mean i forgot better sh*t than you ever thought of
“d*mn, is he really that caught up?”
i ask, if you talkin’ about classics, do my name get brought up?
i remember i couldn’t afford a ford escort
or even a four*track recorder
so it’s only right that i let the top drop on a drop*top porsche
spoil yourself, that’s important
if your stripper name “porsche” and you 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 can’t, because—
[chorus: shirley bassey & kanye west]
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 every time i rhyme
forever ever? forever ever? ever, ever? ever, ever?
ever, ever? ever, ever? ever, ever?

[verse 3: lupe fiasco]
uh, cecil rhodes sowed war and genocide
into the countryside just to get his shine on
i fear what de beers and his peers used to do
before the world really knew, just to get their mine on
making paper with slave labor
and hitting little kids with life time bids making them cut and shine stones
inflating the price and making them look nice
and i wasn’t thinking twice when i was putting mine on
about a young shorty in sierra leone
or other conflict countries that people call home
i figured i would never go to angola
so it never did affect me there, maybe indirectly
that my neck leash was funding a rebellion or a military coup
started by militias that don’t believe in following none of geneva’s rules
i was brushing off the haters, trying to be cool
didn’t have a clue that the rapper was helping the rapers
raiders of the villagers, pillagers of the schools
shooters of the innocents, torturers of the witnesses
burners of the businesses and my bracelet was the fuel
uh, i ain’t pushing an agenda, homie
i’m just pushing the facts, f*ck bush
’cause there’s people doing worse on this earth and they’re black
i took it there, yeah, now let me bring it back
we all know on foreign shores that they finance wars
but ask yourself, “do they finance yours?”
when i first got mine i took them out on tour
didn’t know they lost half the value when i took ’em out the store
or it was full of moissanites and cubits
but the jeweler knew i was stupid
and that i couldn’t prove it
feeling like i need it because i do music
to impress the groupies and the interviewers
so i didn’t appraise it, nor did i loupe it
even gave them to my girl, thinking i was cupid
homies was all hate, hoping they could make me lose it
creeping through my own hood, knew i had to remove it
i see the russian mafia, the jewish mobsters
the undercover terrorists and the traps for the hustlers
homie, it’s a wrap for the nonsense rhyming
props to kanye, i call it “conflict diamonds”
[chorus: shirley bassey, lupe fiasco & kanye west]
diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
you know what i’m saying
throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
the roc is still alive every time i rhyme
forever ever? forever ever? ever, ever? ever, ever?
ever, ever? ever, ever? ever, ever?

[verse 4: kanye west & jay*z]
i was sick about awards, couldn’t n0body cure me
only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry
alicia keys tried to talk some sense in him
thirty minutes later seein’ there’s no convincin’ him
what more could you ask for? the international assh0l*
who complain about what he is owed?
and throw a tantrum like he is three 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 lane
now all i need is y’all to pr*nounce my name
it’s kanye, but some of my plaques, they still say “kayne”
got family in the d, kinfolk from motown
back in the chi, them folks ain’t from moe town
life movin’ too fast, i need to slow down
girl ain’t give me no ass, you need to go down
my father been said i need jesus
so he took me to church and let the water wash over my caesar
the preacher said we need leaders
right then, my body got still like a paraplegic
you know who you call; you got a message, then leave it
the roc stand tall and you would never believe it
take your diamonds and throw ’em up like you bulimic
yeah, 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 sh*t, it sound like the best of
a&r’s lookin’ like, “pssh, we messed up.”
grammy night, d*mn right, we got dressed up
bottle after bottle ’til we got messed up
in the studio with really doe, yeah, he next up
people askin’ me if i’m 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?” (uh)
this track the indian dance to bring our reign back
“what’s up with you and jay, man? are y’all okay, man?”

[verse 5: jay*z]
yup, i got it from here, ‘ye, d*mn
the chain remains, the gang is intact (uh*huh)
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 (so?)
i’m guessin’ i can sell cds
i’m not a businessman, i’m a business, man
let me handle my business, d*mn
kanyeez you got me, freeway then foxy
yg’s, teairra mari, 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 won’t even have to write rhymes
the dynasty like my money: last three lifetimes
shirley bassey’s in the rear, sayin’ exactly
what i been sayin’ practically my whole career
the diamond is forever, i’ve 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’re waitin’ for the end of the dynasty sign
it would seem like forever is a mighty long time (ha)

[outro: shirley bassey & kanye west]
(forever)
forever ever? forever ever? ever, ever? ever, ever?
ever, ever? ever, ever? ever, ever? ever, ever? ever, ever? ever, ever?
diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
forever
