Late Registration (Roc-A-Fella, 2005) by Kanye West

"Yep, I got it from here 'ye damn!/The chain remains, the game 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]/Pardon me, I had to laugh at that/How could you falter when you're the rock of Gibraltar/I had to get of the boat so I could walk on water/This ain't no tall order, this is nothin' to me/Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week/I do this in my sleep, I sold Kilos of coke, so I'm guessin' I can sell CD's/I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, 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 career/The diamond is forever, I been minin' 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 ashes like a phoenix/If you waitin' for the end of the dynasty sign, it'll seem like forever is a mighty long time/I'm young bitches [laughs]/Goodnight!" 
-Jay-Z, "Diamonds from Sierra Leone [Remix]"
