Shooters of the innocent, torturers of the witnesses, burners of the businesses
And my bracelet was the fuel.

Diamonds are forever,
they wont leave in the night i've no fear that they might.
Desert me!!

Uhh, F and F, uhh

Diamonds are forever

Yeah, ya no what im saying
I figure, I feel like i should just, ya no
Show people the other side that wonder where, ya no wat im sayin, that are presently unaware.
They dont know about it, ya no wat im sayin, ya no jus show em theres another side to this thing right here,
its called bling!

[Verse 1:]
Allow me to break down the game,
behind the bracelets, earrings, chains, watches and rings.
The bling,
the crystal incrusted, princess flooded, canary studded, blue coloured and blood stained.
Yeah the older brother of the drug game,
that giver of fame, the take awayer of lame.
the empowerer of the kings that came wit claims and disease
to leave where the native people were staying.
Believe, my engagement ring received and flossed at the cost of a bondage child minus pain.
Long ago kings use to wear em in their armour, when they fought other armies, because it use to scare em.
If you wasn't rich couldn't wear em.
Witches use to marry em',they'd shoot you before they share em.
The gift and the curse, the venom and the serum.
Most hated ladies best friend get murked for a clear one.

[Chorus]

Diamonds are forever...

[Verse 2:]
Cecil Rhodes sold war and genocide,
unto the countryside just to get his shine on!
I fear what Debeers and his peers use to do before the world really knew just to get they mine on!
Making paper with slave labour and hittin little kids with life time beards making em cut and shine stones.
Inflating the price and making em look nice and i wasnt thinking twice when i was putting mine on.
About a young shorty in Sierra Leone or other conflict countries that people call home.
I figured i would never go to Angola so it never did affect me that made me indirectly.
That my necklace was funding a rebellion or a military coup,
started by militia'a that dont believe in following none of Genevas rules.
I was brushing of the haters, trying to be cool.
Didnt have a clue that the rapper was helping the rapers, raiders of the villagers, pillagers of the schools.
Shooters of the innocent, torturers of the witnesses, burners of the businesses
And my bracelet was the fuel.
Uhh, i aint pushing an agenda homie,
im jus pushing the facts, Fuck Bush!
Cuz theres people doin worse on this earth and there black,
i took it for years now let me bring it back,
We all know on for sures that they finance wars, but asks yourself do they finance yours.
When i first got mine i took em out on tour, didnt know they lost half the value when i took em out the store.
Or it was full of moisenites and cubics but the jeweller knew i was stupid and that i couldnt prove it.
Feeling like i need it because i do music, to impress the groupies and the interviewers.
So i didnt praise nor did i loop it, even gave em to my girl thinkin i was cupid.
Homies were all hating hoping they could make me lose it, creeping through my own hood knew i had to remove it.
I see the Russian Mafia, the Jewish Mobsters, the undercover terrorists and the traps for the hustlers.
Homie its a rap for the nonsense rhyming, props to Kanye i call it Conflict Diamonds.

Lupe is good, Andre 3000 is better, ....Why? Longevity , 3000 has been great for a long time. maintaining greatness is alot harder ( ex: Tiger Woods, Micheal Jordan, Pete Sampras, Wal - Mart, etc.) Lupe has the potential to be Great, He is definately in my Top 5 (all-time) . Lupe is the truth but my top 5 is

1. Andre 3000
2. Common
3. Lupe Fiasco
4. Mac ( camoflage assassin )
5. Beanie Sigel / Jay - Z / Scarface / Kanye West .

to each his own
