Diamonds Lyrics
Diamonds are forever,
They won�t leave in the night,
Have no fear that they might�desert me
[Chrous]
(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
For ever ever, for ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever
[Verse 1]
Close your eyes and imagine
Feel the magic, Vegas on acid
Seen through Yves Saint Laurent glasses,
And I�ve realize that I�ve arrived
Cuz it take more than a magazine to kill my vibe
Does he write his own rhymes, just sort of
I think �em, that mean I forgot better shit than you ever thought of
Damn, is he really that caught up?
>I ask �if we talk about classics do my name get brought up?�
I remember I couldn�t afford a Ford Escort or even a 4 track recorder
So it�s only right that I let the top drop on a drop top Porsche
Spoil yourself, that�s important
If you a stripper named Porsche and you get tips from any man
Then you�re fat friend, her nickname is Minivan
Excuse me, that�s just the Henney man
I smoke, I drink, I�m supposed to stop
I can�t because�
[Chorus]
(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
For ever ever, for ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever
[Verse 2]
I was sick of all of the rules
Couldn�t nobody cure me,
Only playa that got robbed and kept all his jewelry
Alicia Keys try talk some sense in him
Thirty minutes later seen there�s no convincin him
What more could you ask for
The international ASSHOLE
>Who complains about when he is old
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old
You gotta love it tho somebody still speak 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 Name
Now all I need is y�all to pronounce my name
It�s Kanye, but some of my plastic still say Kane.
Got family in the G
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 gimme no ass, she need to go down
My father Ben said I need Jesus so he took me to church
And let the water wash over my CAESER
The preacher said we need leaders
Right THEN my body got still like a paraplegic
You know who you could call
You got a message to leave
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 gets swept off
Big K pick up where young Hov left off
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off
I dropped my new shit it sound like the �best of�
A and R�s lookin like, �pshhh, we messed up�
Grammy night, damn right we got dressed up
Bottle after bottle till we got messed up
In the studio we�re really dope, yea he next up
People askin me �Is I�m gon give my chain back?�
That�d be the same day I give the game back
You know the next question dawg,
�Yo where Dame at?�
>This track the Indian dance to bring our rain back
Wassup wit you and Jay man, are y�all ok man?
They pray for the death of our dynasty like A-men
R-r-r-right here stands a man
With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands
[Chorus]
(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
For ever ever, for ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever
(Diamonds are forever)
(Diamonds are forever)
All Falls Down Lyrics
(feat. Syleena Johnson)
[Chorus - 2x]
Oh when it all, it all falls down
I'm telling you ohh, it all falls down
[Verse - Kanye West]
Man I promise, she's so self conscious
She has no idea what she's doing in college
That major that she majored in don't make no money
But she won't drop out, her parents will look at her funny
Now, tell me that ain't insecurrre
The concept of school seems so securrre
Sophmore three yearrrs aint picked a careerrr
She like f*** it, I'll just stay down herre and do hair
Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs of new Airs
Cause her baby daddy don't really care
She's so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus (a Lexus)
She had hair so long that it looked like weave
Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve
And she be dealing with some issues that you can't believe
Single black female addicted to retail and well
[Chorus (w/ Kanye ad-libs)]
[Verse - Kanye West]
Man I promise, I'm so self conscious
That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches
Rollies and Pasha's done drove me crazy
I can't even pronounce nothing, pass that versace!
Then I spent 400 bucks on this
Just to be like n**** you ain't up on this!
And I can't even go to the grocery store
Without some ones that's clean and a shirt with a team
It seems we living the american dream
But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings
We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade us
We trying to buy back our 40 acres
And for that paper, look how low we a'stoop
Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coop/coupe
[Chorus (w/ Kanye ad-libs)]
[Verse - Kanye West]
I say f*** the police, thats how I treat em
We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom
We'a buy a lot of clothes when we don't really need em
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth
That's why shortys hollering "where the ballas' at?"
Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack
And a white man get paid off of all a dat
But I ain't even gon act holier than thou
Cause f*** it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou
Before I had a house and I'd do it again
Cause I wanna be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz
I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific
I got a couple past due bills, I won't get specific
I got a problem with spending before I get it
We all self conscious I'm just the first to admit it
[Chorus - to fade (w/ Kanye ad-libs)]
Through The Wire Lyrics
Yo G they can't stop me from rapping can they?
Can they ha?
I spit it through the wire man
It's too much stuff on my heart right now man
I'd gladly risk it all right now
It's a life or death situation man
Y'all will understand how I feel right now man
It's your boy Kanye to the...
Chi-town what's going on
[Chorus:]
Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you, I'd gladly risk it all
Through the fire, through whatever come what may
For a chance at loving you, I'd take it all away
Right down through the wire, even through the fire
[Verse 1:]
I drink a boost for breakfast, and ensure for dizzert
Somebody ordered pancakes I just sip the sizzurp
That right there could drive a sane man bizzerk
Not to worry the Mr. H says that the izzles back wizzerk
How do you console my mom or give her light support
Tellin' her your sons' on life support
And just imagine how my girl feel
On the plane scared as hell that her guy look like Emitt Till
She was with me before the deal she been trying to be mine
She a delta so she been throwing them Dynasty signs
I'm use to trying to reline
I been trying to signed
Trying to be a millionaire
How I use two lifelines
In the same hospital where biggie smalls died
The doctor said I had blood clots
But I ain't Jamaican man
Story on MTV and I ain't trying to make a band
I swear this right here is history in the making man
[Chorus]
I really apologize how I sound right now man
If it's unclear at all, man
They got my mouth wired shut for like I don't know the doctor said for like six weeks
You know we had reconstruct....
I had reconstructive surgery on my jaw
Looked in the mirror half my jaw was missing and half my mouth
I couldn't believe it
Im still here for yall right now man
This is what I gotta say yo
Yeah, turn me up yeah
[Verse 2:]
What if somebody from the Chi was ill got a deal on the hottest rap label around
But he wasn't talking bout coke and birds it was more like spoken word
Cept' he really putting it down
And he explained the story about how blacks came from glory
And what we need to do in the game
Good dude, Bad night, Right place, Wrong time
In the blink of an eye his whole life changed
If you could feel how my face felt you would know how Mase felt
Thank God I ain't to cool for the safe belt
I swear to God drive a two on the sue
I got lawyer for the case to keep whats in my safe; safe
My dawgs couldn't tell if I
I look Tom Cruise on Vanilla Sky
It was telivised
All they heard was that I was in an accident like GEICO
They thought I was burnt up like Pepsi did Michael
I must gotta angel
Cause look how death missed his ass
Unbreakable, what you thought they called me Mr. Glass?
Look back on my life like the ghost of Christmas past
Toys R Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash
And I still wont grow up, I'm a grown ass kid
Swear I should be locked up for stupid shit that I did
But I'm a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumph
Make music that's fire, spit my soul through the wire
[Chorus]
Know what im saying
When the doctor told me I had a um.. I was goin to have a plate on my chin
I said dawg don't you realize I'll never make it on the plane now
Its bad enough I got all this jewelry on
She can't be serious man
[Chorus repeats till fade]
