Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead   Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed   Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead   Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed      They wanna shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on   Shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on, yeah      They dug me out the soil in the mines of the motherland   Now I'm misplaced, one hand to another hand   Illegal smugglin', people strugglin'   Wish they could just throw me back in the mud again      Yeah, guess that's how we got here   Slave trade then the diamond trade   Every child's afraid when   His mother and father get sprayed      Forced in the army, young killer brigade   Gets a new name then he give his nose glue   Til' his mind can't take what he's gon' through   Lookin' in that dirt for that eyes so blue   Then the Royal Family, the ice goes to      And this thing has to change, feelin' half-ashamed   As I rap with my platinum chain when you shop for a gift for me   You think about the misery, the same way we made apartheid history   We can do the same thing to the conflict ice   But everybody wanna shine, right?      Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead   Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed   Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead   Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed      They wanna shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on   Shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on      My VVS glimmers on my chest   200 thou' encrusted watch on my wrist   I wonder how people starve to death   When God bless the land that lacks the harvest      The stone's equality, but they homes are poverty   And the whole world ignores the robbery   Bought my girl pretty rocks when she's mad at me   Tear-drop shaped, uh, perfect clarity      It shocks, so many are killed annually   'Cause of greed, lust, and pure vanity   Stop talkin' and do somethin' about it      Every holiday season, jewelry stores crowded   Kids snatched from their homes, mutilated alive   Husbands separated from wives, keep the Jesus piece to be fly   But back in the day there was a time when they called us shine      Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead   Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed   Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead   Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed      They wanna shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on   Shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on      [Foreign Content]
