lirik lagu bleeding jewelry – origin storey
[verse 1: origin storey]
there’s a child and children
laboring
to keep their family safe
and have a better life
so they dig in the mines
with one thing in mind
the closer he gets to the diamonds
and resources
his best friends are being beaten
and berated
it frustrates him
he hears the threats
if he don’t get up
and find the diamonds next
one week passes
the fear makes thеm think like molasses
the mining’s a compеtition now
whoever finds the diamonds the fastest
won’t suffer an amputation
the gunshots and screams are lullabies
the children cry
knowing if they fail their families will die
and votings coming up
so if any rebels pick incorrect
they’ll wind up limbless
tomorrow morning
was about the death of the boy’s friends
who was k!lled for not mining
the child was riddled with sickness
and the election is coming up
it had him stressing
he cried for his mother in his last seconds
his body was haunting
bleeding jewelry
over these
blood diamonds
aren’t you unnerved
at least disturbed
this is the reality of our life
suppression and strife
these dark lonely nights
don’t end soon enough
keep my eyes on my time
[chorus: origin storey]
these shiny things
seem entertain
those who laugh at our pain
everyone watched
as africa was raped
they took everything
then try to erase
our african face
without a trace
while we were chained
they have no shame
and it’s a disgrace
[verse 2: origin storey]
it’s like they can’t hear the kids
hollering
howling
but there’s no moon
to light the night
the gleam reflect
off the machete
stained with the next generation
few options
get caught in the crossfire
kids can’t even say they tired
this is the war zone
there’s nowhere to go
the kids are covered in carbon
from the gunshots
all the pressure
they are not shining
because they are in the darkness
but they are the diamonds
that’s why have been hidden and hiding
that’s why i’m driven away
from all the watches and chains
my ancestors would ashamed if that’s what i chased
knowing the pain my brothers and sisters
have to endure
with no promise of a better future
brag about what you’ve earned
as my rage burns
death recurs
who’s gonna speak on record?
about what’s happening here?
are we really that scared?
are we gonna get anywhere?
or will we be stuck in place?
frozen in frame
we are out of days
where we can just sit around leisurely?
like this ain’t happening repeatedly
stealing our resources
then acting like the source was
theirs in the first place
how much more will you take?
[chorus: origin storey]
these shiny things
seem entertain
those who laugh at our pain
everyone watched
as africa was raped
they took everything
then try to erase
our african face
without a trace
while we were chained
they have no shame
and it’s a disgrace
