Titre : Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix) featuring Jay-Z
Lyrics: [Kanye] Good morning! This ain´t Vietnam, still People loses hands, legs, arms, for real Little was known of Sierra Leone
and how it connected to the diamonds we own When I speak of diamonds in the song I ain´t talking bout the ones to be glown I´m talkin´ bout Roc-a-Fella, my home My chain, these ain´t ´Conflict Diamonds´ Is they Jacob? Don´t lie to me, man See, a part of me say keep shinin´ How? When I know what a ´Blood Diamond´ is Though it´s thousands of miles away Sierra Leone connected 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 charms-es 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 your whole life tryin´ get that ice Oh, the Polo rugby, it look so nice How could something so wrong make me feel so right? Right before I beat up myself like Ike You could still throw your Roc-A-Fella Diamond tonight Because...
<> ARE FOREVER
[Kanye]People asking me is I gon´ give my chain back That´ll be da same day I give da game back You know the next question ah y´all were Dame at? This track the Indian Dance to give our rain back What´s up wit you and Jay man are y´all ok man?
[Jay-Z]Yup! I got it from here, ´Ye, damn The chain remains, the game is intact The name is mine, I´ll take the 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 the Rock of Gibraltar I had to get off the boat, so I could walk on water This ain´t no tall order, this is nothing to me Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week I do this in my sleep I sold kilos of coke, I´m guessin´ I could sell CDs I´m not a business-man, I´m a business, man! Let me handle my business, damn
Kanye-z, you got me, Freeway then Foxy, YG´s, Teiarra Mari, Peedi, 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 could just kick back and chill somewhere Oh yeah, he don´t even have to write rhymes The Dynasty, like my money last three life times Shirley Bassey in rear, saying "exactly´´ Whatever, saying "practically" my whole career The Diamond is forever, I been mining this forever Now the Louis Vuitton Don is timin´ couldn´t be better People lined up to see the Titanic sinking Instead, we rose from the ashes like a phoenix If you waitin´ for end of the Dynasty sign It would seem like forever, it´s a mighty long time
