| [00:08.86] |
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead |
| [00:10.68] |
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed |
| [00:13.11] |
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead |
| [00:15.35] |
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed |
| [00:17.29] |
They wanna shine on shine on shine on shine on Shine on shine on shine on shine on yeah |
| [00:25.59] |
They dug me out the soil in the mines of the motherland |
| [00:28.58] |
Now I'm misplaced one hand to another hand |
| [00:30.61] |
Illegal smugglin' people strugglin' |
| [00:32.87] |
Wish they could just throw me back in the mud again |
| [00:34.80] |
Yeah guess that's how we got here |
| [00:36.92] |
Slave trade then the diamond trade |
| [00:38.56] |
Every child's afraid when |
| [00:40.46] |
His mother and father get sprayed |
| [00:41.76] |
Forced in the army young killer brigade |
| [00:43.42] |
Gets a new name then he give his nose glue |
| [00:45.50] |
Til' his mind can't take what he's gon' through |
| [00:47.76] |
Lookin' in that dirt for that eyes so blue |
| [00:49.91] |
Then the Royal Family the ice goes to |
| [00:52.06] |
And this thing has to change feelin' half-ashamed |
| [00:54.60] |
As I rap with my platinum chain |
| [00:56.22] |
when youShop for a gift for me |
| [00:58.79] |
You think about the misery the same way |
| [01:01.04] |
We made apartheid history |
| [01:00.71] |
We can do the same thing to the conflict ice |
| [01:03.93] |
But everybody wanna shine right |
| [01:05.18] |
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead |
| [01:07.00] |
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed |
| [01:09.08] |
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead |
| [01:11.22] |
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed |
| [01:13.27] |
They wanna shine on shine on shine on shine on Shine on shine on shine on shine on |
| [01:22.51] |
My VVS glimmers on my chest |
| [01:24.46] |
200 thou' encrusted watch on my wrist |
| [01:26.86] |
I wonder how people starve to death |
| [01:28.61] |
When God bless the land that lacks the harvest |
| [01:30.96] |
The stone's equality but they homes are poverty |
| [01:33.41] |
And the whole world ignores the robbery |
| [01:35.55] |
Bought my girl pretty rocks when she's mad at me |
| [01:37.80] |
Tear-drop shaped uh perfect clarity |
| [01:39.85] |
It shocks so many are killed annually |
| [01:41.95] |
'Cause of greed lust and pure vanity |
| [01:43.89] |
Stop talkin' and do somethin' about it |
| [01:45.99] |
Every holiday season jewelry stores crowded |
| [01:48.53] |
Kids snatched from their homes mutilated alive |
| [01:50.68] |
Husbands separated from wives |
| [01:52.28] |
Keep the Jesus piece to be fly |
| [01:54.03] |
But back in the day there was a time when they called us shine |
| [01:57.52] |
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead |
| [01:59.07] |
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed |
| [02:01.07] |
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead |
| [02:03.08] |
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed |
| [02:05.48] |
They wanna shine on shine on shine on shine on Shine on shine on shine on shine on |
