Testo Diamonds From Sierra Leone - Remix - Kanye West feat. JAY-Z
Testo della canzone Diamonds From Sierra Leone - Remix (Kanye West feat. JAY-Z), tratta dall'album Late Registration
Diamonds are forever
They all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me
Diamonds are forever
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Diamonds are forever
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
Forever ever? Forever 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 Roc-A-Fella, my home, my chain
These ain't conflict diamonds, is they, Jacob? don't lie to me, mane
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
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 Roc-A-Fella diamond tonight, 'cause
Diamonds are forever
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Diamonds are forever
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
Forever ever? Forever 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 (woo)
"What's up with you a Jay, man, are y'all okay man?"
Yep!
I got it from here 'Ye damn!
The chain remains, the game is intact (uh-huh)
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 -, (so?) I'm guessin' I can sell CD's
I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man
Let me handle my business, damn!
Kanyeez you got me, Freeway then Foxy
YG's, Teairra Mari, Peedy 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's 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
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Good night!
