Kanye West - Diamonds from Sierra Leone letra de canción

[Intro: Shirley Bassey Sample]
Diamonds are forever
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might
Desert me

Kanye West:
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 you 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 it's only right
That I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche
- its for yourself that's important
If your stripper name "Porscha"
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

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 plaques -
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
My father Ben said I need Jesus
So he took me to church
And let the water wash over my ceaser
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 Doe, 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 rain 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
