Lyrics

"See a part of me's sayin' keep shinin' how, when I know what a blood diamond is?
Though it's thousands of miles away, Sierra Leone connect to what we go through today.
Over here it's the drug trade, we die from drugs. Over there, they die from what we buy from drugs. The Diamonds.
The chains, the bracelets, the charms is. I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless till I seen a picture of a shorty armless, and here's the conflict …
On a polo rugby you look so nice, how could something wrong make me feel so right."
