I've no fear that they might |

Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... |
| [00:33.78] |
|
| [00:34.06] |
Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic |
| [00:35.44] |
Vegas on acid, |
| [00:36.32] |
Seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses |
| [00:39.68] |
And I've realized that I've arrived, cuz |
| [00:42.06] |
It take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe does |
| [00:44.50] |
he write his own rhymes, so sort of |
| [00:46.47] |
I think 'em |
| [00:47.39] |
That mean I forgot better shit than u ever thought up |
| [00:49.51] |
Damn, is he really that caught up? |
| [00:51.45] |
I ask if you talkin' bout classics, do my name get brought up? |
| [00:54.30] |
I remember I couldn't afford a Ford Escort or even a four-track recorder |
| [00:59.28] |
so its only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche |
| [01:01.86] |
- its for yourself that's important |
| [01:04.44] |
If a stripper named Porscha and u get tips from many men |
| [01:11.28] |
Then your fat friend her nickname is Minivan |
| [01:11.54] |
Excuse me, |
| [01:11.96] |
That's just the Henny, man, I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop I can't because |
| [01:14.01] |
|
| [01:14.73] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [01:16.72] |
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe |
| [01:18.84] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
| [01:21.60] |
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. |
| [01:23.81] |
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... |
| [01:31.27] |
|
| [01:33.35] |
I was sick about awards |
| [01:34.87] |
Couldn't nobody cure me |
| [01:36.16] |
Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry |
| [01:38.58] |
Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense to them |
| [01:41.07] |
30 minutes later seems there's no convincing them |
| [01:43.56] |
What more can you ask for? |
| [01:44.85] |
The international assholes nah |
| [01:46.10] |
Who complains about what he is owed? |
| [01:48.68] |
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old |
| [01:50.71] |
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul |
| [01:53.47] |
And wouldn't change by the change, or the game, or the fame, |
| [01:56.01] |
When he came, in the game, he made his own lane |
| [01:58.45] |
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name |
| [02:00.75] |
Its Kanye - But some of my plastic - they still say Kane |
| [02:03.29] |
Got family in the D, Kin-folk from Motown |
| [02:06.10] |
Back in the Chi - them folks ain't from Motown |
| [02:08.45] |
Life movin' too fast I need to slow down |
| [02:10.75] |
Girl ain't give me no ass, ya need to go down |
| [02:12.92] |
|
| [02:13.43] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [02:15.64] |
My father Ben said I need Jesus |
| [02:17.58] |
So he took me to church and let the water wash over my ceaser |
| [02:18.13] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [02:20.25] |
The preacher said we need leaders |
| [02:20.90] |
Right then my body got still like a paraplegic |
| [02:23.20] |
|
| [02:23.44] |
You know who you can call you gotta best believe it |
| [02:25.65] |
The Roc stand tall and you would never believe it |
| [02:28.02] |
Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic |
| [02:30.70] |
Yea the beat cold but the flow is anemic |
| [02:33.05] |
After debris settles and the dust get swept off |
| [02:35.63] |
Big K pick up where young Hov left off |
| [02:38.07] |
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off |
| [02:40.56] |
I dropped my new shit sound like the best of |
| [02:43.00] |
A&R's lookin' like "pssh we messed up" |
| [02:45.63] |
Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up |
| [02:47.75] |
Bottle after bottle till we got messed up |
| [02:50.33] |
In the studio, where really though, yea he next up |
| [02:52.75] |
People askin' me if I'm gon' give my chain back |
| [02:55.33] |
That'll be the same day I give the game back |
| [02:57.87] |
You know the next question dog "Yo, where Dame at?" |
| [03:00.22] |
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back |
| [03:02.80] |
"What's up with you and Jay, man, are y'all ok man?" |
| [03:05.38] |
They pray for the death of our dynasty like Amen |
| [03:07.87] |
R-r-r-right here stands a-man |
| [03:10.22] |
With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands... |
| [03:12.43] |
|
| [03:12.57] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [03:15.32] |
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe |
| [03:17.39] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
| [03:20.11] |
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. |
| [03:22.37] |
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... |
| [03:31.90] |
|
| [03:32.41] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) |
| [03:37.80] |
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |
| [03:42.50] |
|
| [03:49.41] |
End..... |
