Dem dey wear diamond, but no sabi the story,
All dem blood wey flow, na im bring dem glory.
From Africa to Yankee, dem no wan look back,
We dey suffer, dem dey ball for the soundtrack.
Chop life, flex chain, but e no clean,
You dey shine, but wetin you sabi wey e mean?
Our people die, tears dey pour like rain,
But you dey show am off, like say no be pain.
You no sabi where you from,
All the blood wey dey under the sun.
You dey flex, but you blind to the real,
Na our land dem tear apart for your deal.
Blood for diamonds, blood dey inside,
You dey shine, but wetin you hide?
Na we get the earth, we no need the stone,
Our soul na wealth, we dey carry am alone.
You fit flex, you fit form, but we no go forget,
Blood for diamonds, na wetin we get.
Omo, you no dey see the truth wey dey inside,
All that shine na for the pain dem dey hide.
Dem colonize, dem take wetin no be dem own,
Now you dey flex, but e no be your throne.
You wear chain, but e fit choke your neck,
For where we come from, na respect we dey check.
Diamond no be for show, na for tear eye,
And all that bloodshed, omo e no go die.
You no sabi where you from,
All the blood wey dey under the sun.
You dey flex, but you blind to the real,
Na our land dem tear apart for your deal.
Blood for diamonds, blood dey inside,
You dey shine, but wetin you hide?
Na we get the earth, we no need the stone,
Our soul na wealth, we dey carry am alone.
You fit flex, you fit form, but we no go forget,
Blood for diamonds, na wetin we get.
You dey form like say you big,
But your wealth na from pain wey dem dig.
All dem children wey no get food chop,
But you dey flex for TV, dey form like boss.
We dey see you, but we no dey impressed,
Cause e be like say your head don lost, e no set.
We no need diamond to show our pride,
Our ancestors no die for us to just slide.
Blood for diamonds, blood dey inside,
You dey shine, but wetin you hide?
Na we get the earth, we no need the stone,
Our soul na wealth, we dey carry am alone.
You fit flex, you fit form, but we no go forget,
Blood for diamonds, na wetin we get.
Omo, go ahead, wear your bling,
But don’t forget where e begin.
We no need diamond for our worth to show,
Africa na our home, and we dey glow.
You go flex, but we sabi the truth,
Blood for diamonds, omo, e no be new.

Our people die, tears dey pour like rain,
But you dey show am off, like say no be pain.
