Song: Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)
Album: Late Registration
Lyrics
[Intro]
Diamonds are forever
They're all I need to please me
They can't stimulate or tease me
They won't leave in the night
Have no fear that they might
Desert me
[Hook]
"Diamonds are forever forever forever"
Throw ya diamonds in the sky
If you feel the vibe
"Diamonds are forever forever forever"
The ROC is still alive
Everytime I rhyme
"Forever and ever!"
For ever ever? for ever ever? ever ever?
Ever ever? ever ever? ever ever? ever ever?
[Verse 1]
Good Morning, this ain't Vietnam still
People lose hands, legs, arms for real
Little was known of Sierra Leone
And how it connect to the diamonds we own
When I speak of Diamonds in this song
I ain't talkin bout the ones that be glown
I'm talkin bout Rocafella, my home, my chain
These ain't conflict diamonds,is they Jacob? don't lie to me mayne
See, a part of me sayin' keep shinin',
How? when I know of the blood diamonds
Though it's thousands of miles away
Sierra Leone connect to what we go through today
Over here, its a drug trade, we die from drugs
Over there, they die from what we buy from drugs
The diamonds, the chains, the bracelets, the charmses
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 ya whole life tryna get that ice
On a polar rugby it look so nice
How could somethin' so wrong make me feel so right, right?
'fore I beat myself up like Ike
You could still throw ya Rocafella diamond tonight, 'cause
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
[Kanye]
People askin' me is I'm gon' give my chain back (uh)
That'll be the same day I give the game back (uh)
You know the next question dog 'yo, where Dame at?'(uh)
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back (whoo!)
'wassup wit you a Jay man, are ya'll okay man?'
[Jay-Z]
Yep!
I got it from her 'ye damn!
The chain remians, the gang is in tact
The name is mine, I'll take blame for that
The pressure's on, but guess who ain't gon' crack? (laughs)
Part of me I had to laugh at that
How could you falter when you're the rock of gibralter
I had to get of the boat so I could walk on water
This ain't no tour order, this is nothin to me
Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week
I do this in my sleep,
I sell Kilos of coke, (so?) I'm guessin' I can sell CD's
I'm not a buisness man I'm a buisness, man
Let me handle my buisness, damn!
Kanyeez you got me, Freeway and Foxy
YG', Teairra Mari, Petey 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 can just kick back and chill somewhere, oh yeah
He don't even have to write rhymes
The Dynasty like my money last three lifetimes
Shirley Bassey was in the rear sayin exactly
What I was sayin practically me whole carreer
The diamond is forever, I been mindin' this forever
Now the Louis Vuitton Don's timin' couldn't be better
People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin'
Instead we rose from the ash like a phoenix
If you watin for the end, the dynasty signed
And what seemed like forever is a mighty long time
I'm young bitches [laughs]
Goodnight!

I know Jays verse is fire, but Kanye’s is introspective and shines on conflict he views within the world, it’s amazing
I’m not a businessman I’m a business, man!
yeah Kanye was def spittin .
Yup
"They die from what we buy from drugs" 🔥
Second to last album he was attached
Anyone here in 2024?
Reminding my friends how iconic this man and song is
Fuck yeah 🙌🏻🫶🏻
Hell yeah
from Japan
ME HERE👊
still one of the illest instrumentals ive ever heard in my life.
GRASSFED CHARLIE best to me for Kanye!
Still
to this DAY
Fgtyhhy5h7huigugyb
shut up
This beat gives me goosebumps. Say whatever you want about Kanye West - as a person. But there's one thing you can't deny, he's a musical genius.
Couldn’t agree more brother
I totally agree here in 2022
Still fax a decade later
Hope you're alive and well bro
aged like the finest wine
"difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week" I love it.
Really? He had to get off the boat so he can walk on water (Matthew 14:15). Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week (Matthew 19:26). Can you try to guess who Jay-z is trying to claim he is?
@@mwanamazala5088 😐
@@mwanamazala5088 same bible said we are all Gods get tf off too much religiousness that was used and weaponized against black people for racism
You’re not wrong. He basically blasphemed Christ in that verse. Also, in Empire State Of Mind; “Jesus can’t save you. Life starts when the church ends.”
U woke up and said this quote today and just NEEDED to come looking for the song as I start working
"I had to get off the boat so I could walk on water"
Haha love this song.
This line was STUPID HARD!!! 💯💯💯
He is saying he is Peter. That is why He said he is the Rock. Peter is translated as Cephas which is rock and he is Rocafella or Roc or Roc nation
The real question is are you still alive?

On the canopy, my stamina be enough for Pamela Anderson Lee
the way jay enters his verse is just masterful...
Yup!
I got it from here Ye, damn!
Crazy
Jay knows how to talk his shit fr
Jay's verse, nothing but quotables...
large crowd gathered to see Jesus, only for him to rise on the third day after crucifixion (Luke 23:18-42). Jay-z is using a lot of sublime messages in this, and almost all his songs. " had to get off the boat so he can walk on water" (Matthew 14:15). "Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week" (Matthew 19:26). Can you try to guess who Jay-z is trying to claim he is? Do you need more evidence? These are versus in other Jay-z songs, lets see if you can guess which songs there are..."Its the return of the vicar", "If Jesus is paying Lebron I am paying D-Wayde", "I am the rock (featuring Mavado, and Manado telling Jay-z (Jay-Hova) to guide him) etc. And lets look at Jay-z name closely after dropping the "z" from Jay, and adding the Hova, so now he is Jay Hova. Last but not least, how does Jay-z end his verse in the song "Never let me down?

Jay betrayed YE
@@Roy_MO no it doesn't say that. There's only 1 God and it's not us.

"People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin, instead we rose from the ashes like a phoenix" WOW. What a line by Jigga, his whole verse is sick though. Kanye went in as well but Jay killed it.

That Jay-Z verse is lyrically genius.
Facts
JayTheBig "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 you three lifetimes..."
I mean, if you followed from Coming of Age on Reasonable Doubt to that sequence of lines...and you wondered what happened to Bleek, that's what. lol
Lol word , Bleek kicked back chilling some where right now 💯
Jodie Martinez What most don't know is that all four of Bleek's solo albums sold at least 500,000 copies (gold).

Im not a business man Im A BUSINESSMAN
One of the few remixes I love and in due part to Kanye's opening line,
"Good moooorning, this ain't Vietnam, still, people losing legs, hands, arms, forreal."
Nice ,I taught it was c'mon man this ain't Vietnam
@@jonathanbarry5351 Its a play on Robin Williams shouting, “Goooooood Morning Vietnam!!” in the movie GMV & also murder in the Chi similar to murder in the Vietnam War. Excellent writing.
@@shedparker damn makes alot of sense,
I usually have to replay Jay’s verse about 17 times before I move on to another song. Shit is too 🔥
Totally Agree
Whole Song
Am from Sierra Leone bro I feel so good when I listen this song🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱
One of the best, if not THE best beat Kanye has ever produced. Jay-Z just annihilated the track with his incredible verse. Crazy.
Listen to Jay's part before you think he ruined the track. By far one of the best Jay's verses.
@Joshua Khoury élève people were crazy. He killed it
He out rapped Kanye with half a verse.
Great handoff
@JB barry I disagree but hey 🤷♂️
@JB barry yea you said smoke. If you say it's close I can agree with you.. Smoke? Naaaa Jay had some fire lines.
Jay Z hook took this record to the next level.
Jay-Z ruins it for me
***** I had to step off the boat to walk on water...juz that though
Steven Edelmann
Bro wtf re you talking about Hova whole verse was on topic this was right after the dame dash and Hova roc a fella beak up. Roc-a-fella=Diamonds Diamonds are forever
I came just for Jay's verse!
@@itsyoungmic What?! Jigga slays it with such ease!
"I'm not a a businessman, I'm a business Mannn." "These ain't conflict diamonds, is they, don't lie to me man." Kanye and Jay Z are sick lyricists. Thanks to Kanye for shouting Africa and shedding light on conflict diamonds. I love you Africa.
"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 can just kick back and chill somewhere." This, for me, is when Jay became the GOAT. I was genuinely wondering how Bleek was doing when he said it the first time, and he let everyone know how real it is.
The concept of this song is still so deep I don’t think anyone wants to talk about it. We die for these diamonds here in the state to floss, they die for the diamonds to stay alive.
"People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin'
Instead we rose from the ash like a phoenix"
Sick!

@@mwanamazala5088 depends on your beliefs. We all don't see the spiritual realm the same, it's all anecdotal.
@@unknownx7252 fair enough. But at least you know what jigga is portraying himself as, and if you don't have a problem with that, at least you made a conscience choice.
15 years down the line this is still a dope song
"This track is that Indian dance to bring our rain back" one of my favorite quotes that gives me what I need everytime .
Jay-Z has great lyrics on his verse."How could you falter, when you're the Rock Of Gibraltar? I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man. Let me handle my business, damn."
Dude how did he come up with that shit....LEGEND
@ayooooooo6257 yea that was a shot at Dame for sure
I never realized how much Jay-z killed Kanye's verse until i noticed this Big Brother line
Wen he says forever seem like a mighty long time. 😭😭🤣🔥
That's exactly why I am here to listen.
🤣🤣
Me neither
Same lol
Very true.
18+ years later and the replay value is richer than ever.
This is still my favorite Jay-Z verse of all time. Kanye killed it too but Jay’s verse is too iconic and has too many quotables. Classic Remix.
"Bleek could be one hit away his whole career, as long as I'm alive he's a millionare, and even if I die he in my will somewhere, so he could just kick back and chill somewhere, oh yeah" jay gotz mad love for bleek
Had to replay Jay's verse over and over and over!!!

@@mwanamazala5088 bro its been 10 years
One of the most under appreciated songs. Jay-Z, I salute you.
A Rap Song cant go wrong when Kanye produced it and Jay rapped on it.
People always mention Eminem and Dre or Snoop and Dre, Puffy and BIG, but Kanye and Jay are like a much better Production Rapper Duo
"I got it from Ye. Damn!" What followed after I'm surprised the fire brigade weren't called.
Absolutely 😆
Maybe I'm in the minority, but
Kanye's line: "Over here it's the drug trade we die from drugs. Over there they die from what we buy from drugs" is underrated
Kanye's verse is so damn dope. People don't really think about the real cost of the jewels they wear or the clothes they wear because it's easier to not think about it.
Jay-Z just switched real diamonds for roc nation which is genius in its self. One of my favorite songs period.
Kanye did it in the original song. It's only in this remix that Kanye talk about Sierra Leone
"On that "Diamonds" remix, I swore I spazzed
Then my Big Brother came through and kicked my ass ♥"
🤙🤘🖖🤞✌🖐✋👌🖕🤝
This line brought me here in Nov 2019.😎
Trust a Big Brother to give you a good whopping.
Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week 🔥
jigga killed this track especially the way he opened his verse wow just classic

Listen to what the song is really about. It has a great message about what really goes on in Sierra Leone with the diamonds. It's not about the rap here' it's about the message Kanye is trying to deliver.

Wow! Jay is a lyrical beast.
While I love Jay Z. I felt his verse was not suited in this song. Kanye rapping about blood diamonds, Jay rapping about how successful he is.
That's all Jay ever raps about...
Kyle Smith i beg to differ... renegade
It seems like Jay recorded his verse for the original version and Kanye went and put it on the remix. It'd fit much better on the original track, but given how well Ye's verse leads into Jay's, it's more likely he just said fuck the subject matter lol
I like Kanye's verse more because his lyrics were conscious an meant something , actually gave me chills lol . But but Lyrically Jay did say some shit on top of some shit lol . But I will have to say Kanye made this song shine because of his topic of the song , it's real shit .
Listen again, Jay's exploring the theme of rocks, diamonds 'put under pressure, but his shit don't crack'...the entire 'business' of dealin rocks. He's a metaphorical genius so easy to miss things.
Wasn’t messin around when he said “yup, I got it from here ye” DAMN!!
Putting this song on the album twice, as a remix and the normal track, was an amazing idea
I can't say it any better. Kanye as a mainstream musician is at the top of his game but as a rapper who speaks from the heart died a long time ago.
thoughts now ?
kanye west and jay z best duo ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever.......
I'll say this again, no one is touching Jay 🙌
I got it from here, 'Ye, damn 🔥2024🔥 Kanyeez you got me 💔🎯🙏🏿 Young brother was trying to embarrass big brother. But big brother handled him lyrically 👑👌
Kanye always knows what he's doing, each and every time we doubted it, we were always proven wrong in masses. I dont doubt him anymore
difficult takes a day impossible takes a week!!!!
When Jay spitted that part on his verse it simply went over my head mentally lol . I still don't know what he meant by " difficult takes a day , impossible takes a week!"
lol i recon he means theres no challenge he cannot over-come.
Thanks for the clarification pal. And people on this thread or video don't think Jay-Z is one of the best MC's/lyricist of all-time . Jay -Z put Kanye on to the rap game . There wouldn't be a Kanye without yours truly . Jiggaman
Yeah he is mega-talented, i think people compare people to much, kanye , nas ,Jay are all different but are all extremely talented
jay z's verse one of the goat's
"Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week."
Jay-z verse is blasphemous. He is challenging Jesus. large crows gathered to see Jesus, only for him to rise on the third day after crucifixion (Luke 23:18-42).
