Huh?! What Diamonds?!
«Diamonds From Sierra Leone»
KANYE WEST
[Intro]
Diamonds are forever
They won’t leave in the night
I’ve no fear that they might
Desert me
[Chorus]
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?……
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
he write his own rhymes, so sort of
I think ’em
That mean I forgot better shit than u ever
thought up
Damn, is he really that caught up?
I ask if you talkin’ bout classics, 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 can’t because
[Chorus]
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 assholes nah
Who complains about what he is owed?
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
lane
Now all I need is y’all to pronounce my
name
Its Kanye — But some of my plastic — they
still say Kane
Got family in the D, Kin-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 ceaser
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 same 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)
Familiar with this song?! Well this had been very controversial. Specially with how Kanye interpreted it through his video. Some said Kanye West had mislead people through it. While other says that what the song would only like to depict is Kanye’s career.
This is by Shirley Bassey originally in the year 1971. Its original title is «Diamonds are Forever.» Actually it was a movie by then —spy film. This was the 7th film in the James Bond series.
Well you just can’t really please everybody. With how many people are, expect the same count of different opinions.
The only thing here is that everyone should learn to respect others point of view. Accept that other just don’t see things how one interprets it
