Lyrics:
2
[Kanye]
3
Good morning! This ain't Vietnam, still
4
People loses hands, legs, arms, for real
5
Little was known of Sierra Leone
6
And how it connected to the diamonds we own
7
When I speak of diamonds in the song
8
I ain't talking bout the ones to be glown
9
I'm talkin' bout Roc-a-Fella, my home
10
My chain, these ain't 'Conflict Diamonds'
11
Is they Jacob? Don't lie to me, man
12
See, a part of me say keep shinin'
13
How? When I know what a 'Blood Diamond' is
14
Though it's thousands of miles away
15
Sierra Leone connected to what we go through today
16
Over here, it's a drug trade, we die from drugs
17
Over there, they die from what we buy from drugs
18
The diamonds, the chains, the bracelets, the charms-es
19
I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless
20
'Til I seen a picture of a shorty armless
21
And here's the conflict...
22
It's in a black person's soul to rock that gold
23
Spend your whole life tryin' get that ice
24
Oh, the Polo rugby, it look so nice
25
How could something so wrong make me feel so right?
26
Right before I beat up myself like Ike
27
You could still throw your Roc-A-Fella Diamond tonight
28
Because...
29
ARE FOREVER
30
[Kanye]People asking me is I gon' give my chain back
31
That'll be da same day I give da game back
32
You know the next question ah y'all were Dame at?
33
This track the Indian Dance to give our rain back
34
What's up wit you and Jay man are y'all ok man?
35
[Jay-Z]Yup! I got it from here, 'Ye, damn
36
The chain remains, the game is intact
37
The name is mine, I'll take the blame for that
38
The pressure's on, but guess who ain't gon' crack?
39
Pardon me, I had to laugh at that
40
How could you falter, when you the Rock of Gibraltar
41
I had to get off the boat, so I could walk on water
42
This ain't no tall order, this is nothing to me
43
Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week
44
I do this in my sleep
45
I sold kilos of coke, I'm guessin' I could sell CDs
46
I'm not a business-man, I'm a business, man!
47
Let me handle my business, damn
48
Kanye-z, you got me, Freeway then Foxy,
49
YG's, Teiarra Mari, Peedi, watch me
50
Bleek could be one hit away his whole career
51
As long as I'm alive, he's a millionaire
52
And even if I die, he's in my will somewhere
53
So he could just kick back and chill somewhere
54
Oh yeah, he don't even have to write rhymes
55
The Dynasty, like my money last three life times
56
Shirley Bassey in rear, saying "exactly''
57
Whatever, saying "practically" my whole career
58
The Diamond is forever, I been mining this forever
59
Now the Louis Vuitton Don is timin' couldn't be better
60
People lined up to see the Titanic sinking
61
Instead, we rose from the ashes like a phoenix
62
If you waitin' for end of the Dynasty sign
63
It would seem like forever, it's a mighty long time
64
I'm Young, bitches!
65
Goodnight!
