Diamonds From Sierra Leone Lyrics - Late Registration - Kanye West

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 

"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? 

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 glowin 

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, it's a drug trade, we die from drugs 

Photos 

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 polo 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 

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? 

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 with you a Jay man, are ya'll okay man? ' 

Yep! 

I got it from here 'ye damn! 

The chain remains, the game is in tact 

The name is mine, I'll take blame for that 

The pressure's on, but guess who ain't gon' crack? Pardon me I had to laugh at that 

How could you falter when you're the rock of Gibraltar 

I had to get of 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 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 career 

The diamond is forever, I 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 from the ashes like a phoenix 

If you waitin' for the end of the dynasty sign 

It'll seem like forever is a mighty long time 

I'm young bitches Goodnight!
