a rap i wrote about conflict diamonds
enjoy
Hook:
I’m tired and scared of turnin the tv on
Seein brothas killin brothas because of the diamonds
They don’t care about their brains all they want Is the brawn
For the slaves, there wont be another joyous dawn
I’m tired and scared of turnin the tv on
Seein brothas killin brothas because of the diamonds
If we just stop what were doin and admit that were wrong
Little Abate wont have to cry because his family is gone
Verse 1:
I see people are happy, because their mansions are large
While the African people are prayin to all of their gods
Askin for freedom, maybe even a ward
to repel the greed and spite of all
of us
they cant trust outsiders with their life
If they take one their days will end with a knife
or a gun
i wish i could be the one
to the save them from the sons of the sons
of the uncles or the daddys
that take away their possessions to get him a caddy
put 28's on his ride, so he could shine
While some little baby is cryin cause because he got left behind
Hook
Verse 2:
Blood Diamonds are what they called when come from red soil
the ground is stained from all the violence and the recoil
of the ak 47's, shootin at women and children
loosin their dad cause a man wanted to make few millions
to bring back to his home, so his family could smile
then when the moneys used up he goes back for awhile
to leech, all of africa's beautiful treasures
a life compared to a stone shouldnt even be measured
cause theres nothin like a newborn baby girl
except shes feed on conflict diamons sent all over the world
