[Intro] 
Diamonds are forever 
They're 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] 
"Diamonds are forever forever forever" 
Throw ya diamonds in the sky 
If you feel the vibe 
"Diamonds are forever forever forever" 
The ROC is still alive 
Everytime I rhyme 
"Forever and ever!" 
For ever ever? for ever ever? ever ever? 
Ever ever? ever ever? ever ever? ever ever? 
 
[Verse 1] 
Good Morning, 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 glown 
I'm talkin bout Rocafella, my home, my chain 
These ain't conflict diamonds,is they Jacob? don't lie to me mayne 
See, a part of me sayin' keep shinin', 
How? when I know of the blood diamonds 
Though it's thousands of miles away 
Sierra Leone connect to what we go through today 
Over here, its 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's soul to rock that gold 
Spend ya whole life tryna get that ice 
On a polar rugby it look so nice 
How could somethin' so wrong make me feel so right, right? 
'fore I beat myself up like Ike 
You could still throw ya Rocafella diamond tonight, 'cause 
 
[Hook] 
 
[Verse 2] 
[Kanye From Original Song] 
People askin' me is I'm gon' give my chain back (uh) 
That'll be the same day I give the game back (uh) 
You know the next question dog 'yo, where Dame at?'(uh) 
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back (whoo!) 
'wassup wit you a Jay man, are ya'll okay man?' 
 
[JayZ] 
Yep! 
I got it from her 'ye damn! 
The chain remians, the gang is in tact 
The name is mine, I'll take blame for that 
The pressure's on, but guess who ain't gon' crack? [laughs] 
Pardon me I had to laugh at that 
How could you falter when you're the rock of gibralter 
I had to get of the boat so I could walk on water 
This ain't no tour 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 CD's 
I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man 
Let me handle my buisness, damn! 
Kanyeez you got me, Freeway and Foxy 
YG', Teairra Mari, Petey 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 can just kick back and chill somewhere, oh yeah 
He don't even have to write rhymes 
The Dynasty like my money last three lifetimes 
Shirley Bassey was in the rear sayin exactly 
What I was sayin practically me whole carreer 
The diamond is forever, I been mindin' this forever 
Now the Louis Vuitton Don's timin' couldn't be better 
People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin' 
Instead we rose from the ash like a phoenix 
If you waitin' for the end, the dynasty signed 
And what seemed like forever is a mighty long time 
I'm young bitches [laughs] 
Goodnight!
