Diamonds from Sierra Leone Lyrics » Kanye West
[Produced by Kanye West, Devo Springsteen and Jon Brion]
[Intro: Shirley Bassey]
Diamonds are forever
They won’t leave in the night
I’ve no fear that they might
Desert me
[Chorus: Shirley Bassey &
Kanye West
]
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Close your eyes and imagine,
feel the magic
Vegas on acid,
seen through
Yves St. Laurent glasses
And I’ve realized that I’ve arrived
‘Cause it take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe
“Does he write his own rhymes?” Well, 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 you talkin’ about classics, do my name get brought up?
I remember I couldn’t afford a Ford Escort
Or even a four-track recorder
So it’s only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche
Spoil yourself, that’s important
If your stripper name “Porsche” and you get tips from many men
Then your fat friend, her nickname is “Minivan”
Excuse me, that’s just the Henny, man
I smoke, I drink, I’m supposed to stop, I can’t, because—

About Kanye West’s Diamonds from Sierra Leone from Late Registration (2005)
This was
Late Registration
’s lead single, and it was technically a bonus track on the album.
Jay-Z would later jump on the track for the
remix
.
West
explained the inspiration for the song to MTV
:
Mark Romanek, the director that did Jay’s
“99 Problems,”
and
Q-Tip
both brought up blood diamonds. They said, “That’s what I think about when I hear diamonds. I think about kids getting killed, getting amputated in West Africa.” And Q-Tip’s like, “Sierra Leone,” and I’m like, “Where?” And I remember him spelling it out for me and me looking on the Internet and finding out more. I think that was just one of those situations where I just set out to entertain, but every now and then God taps me on the shoulder and says, “Yo, I want you to do this right here,” so he’ll place angels in my path and one angel will lead to another angel and it’s like a treasure hunt or something. And I finally found the gold mine, which was the video “Diamonds (From Sierra Leone).”
