your boyfriend just bought you that diamond ring he must of paid
alot for it while the people in africa get a dollor and 15 cent for finding it
they'll lie for it, cheat, and die for it

you dont know who these diamonds affects
or what type of image this reflects

thousands of people are dead, these
conflicts over the diamond will leave you with a shot in your head

children ten years old carring a gun for protection
while the children here on their phone texting

in sierra leone thats where the blood diamond happen
kids hands shot of and their arms flapping

were laughing
while they're gasping

while we keep buying
people there keep dying

so before you buy another one
think about what is done
