The Diamond Effect
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
