I see a broadcast from Sierra Leone
And I' m awake with grief
Children are shooting with fear and cocaine
Rising awash in their minds
Beside myself with grief
Women and babies slaughtered
Genocide calling, diamond rings sought after
Blood and water
A taste of grief I watch the snatched up hypocrisy of reigning democracies
Who slave and rinse the territories
Behind your laws of western greed
I say it loud, for I want to scream
Bad blood is in the empires genes
I watch you in the news at night
Reporting news with hidden lies
I watch you as you believe your tripe
About your diamond genocide
About your diamond genocide
D' bour your diamond genocide
For every baby born to die
Is the grief I' ll feel
In my British pride
The diamond is not a girls best friend
Unless underground as God intends
The images, the faces, same as my neighborhood
Africans being slaughtered crying out for the sain
Their blood of the adamites we are one and the same
World Globalization is calling in vain
And I' m still in grief
No more in peace
Till the words become
The deeds
