If you stripper name Porsche and you get tips from many men
Then your fat friend her nickname is Minivan
When he came in the game, he made his own lane
Excuse me, that's just the Henny, man
With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Got family in the D, Kin-folk from Motown
You know who you can call you gotta best believe it
That mean I forgot better **** than you ever thought of
(Forever)
I was sick about awards, couldn't nobody cure me
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
Yeah, the beat cold but the flow is anemic
That'll be the same day I give the game back
Or even a four-track recorder
It's Kanye but some of my plaques, they still say, 'Kane'
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
Life movin' too fast I need to slow down
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
(Diamonds are forever)
The Roc stand tall and you would never believe it
Vegas on acid, seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses
People askin' me, is I gon' give my chain back?
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back
I dropped my new **** sound like the best of
Right here stands a man
Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic
Back in the Chi, them folks ain't from Motown
They pray for the death of our dynasty like, Amen
And let the water wash over my creaser
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Does he write his own rhymes, well, sort of, I think 'em
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old?
You know the next question dog, "Yo, where Dame at?"
It's for yourself that's important
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Bottle after bottle 'til we got messed up
Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
Who complains about what he is owed?
The preacher said we need leaders
I remember, I couldn't afford a Ford Escort
After debris settles and the dust get swept off
(Diamonds are forever)
(Diamonds are forever)
I ask if you talkin' 'bout classics, do my name get brought up?
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
In the studio, where really though, yeah, he next up
Damn, is he really that caught up?
A&R's lookin' like, "Pssh, we messed up"
Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul
(And ever)
And wouldn't change by the change, or the game or the fame
Big K pick up where young Hov left off
(Diamonds are forever)
(And ever)
What more can you ask for? The international
(And ever)
So it's only right that I let the top drop on a Drop-Top Porsche
Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense in 'em
Diamonds are forever
Girl ain't give me no ***, she need to go down
Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
And I've realized that I've arrived, 'cause
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Diamonds are forever
Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic
"What's up with you and Jay, man, are y'all okay man?"
(Forever)
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off
30 minutes later seein' there's no convincin' 'em
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop, I can't because
My father Ben said I need Jesus, so he took me to church
(Diamonds are forever)
Right then my body got still like a paraplegic
(Diamonds are forever)
It take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name
(Forever)
