Shine On - Nas (奈斯)[00:00:00]
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead[00:00:08]
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed[00:00:10]
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead[00:00:13]
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed[00:00:15]
They wanna shine on shine on shine on shine on[00:00:17]
Shine on shine on shine on shine on yeah[00:00:21]
They dug me out the soil in the mines of the motherland[00:00:26]
Now I'm misplaced one hand to another hand[00:00:28]
Illegal smugglin' people strugglin'[00:00:30]
Wish they could just throw me back in the mud again[00:00:32]
Yeah guess that's how we got here[00:00:35]
Slave trade then the diamond trade[00:00:37]
Every child's afraid when[00:00:38]
His mother and father get sprayed[00:00:39]
Forced in the army young killer brigade[00:00:41]
Gets a new name then he give his nose glue[00:00:43]
Til' his mind can't take what he's gon' through[00:00:45]
Lookin' in that dirt for that eyes so blue[00:00:47]
Then the Royal Family the ice goes to[00:00:49]
And this thing has to change feelin' half-ashamed[00:00:52]
As I rap with my platinum chain when you[00:00:54]
Shop for a gift for me[00:00:56]
You think about the misery the same way[00:00:57]
We made apartheid history[00:00:59]
We can do the same thing to the conflict ice[00:01:01]
But everybody wanna shine right [00:01:03]
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead[00:01:05]
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed[00:01:07]
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead[00:01:09]
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed[00:01:11]
They wanna shine on shine on shine on shine on[00:01:13]
Shine on shine on shine on shine on[00:01:18]
My VVS glimmers on my chest[00:01:22]
200 thou' encrusted watch on my wrist[00:01:24]
I wonder how people starve to death[00:01:26]
When God bless the land that lacks the harvest[00:01:28]
The stone's equality but they homes are poverty[00:01:31]
And the whole world ignores the robbery[00:01:33]
Bought my girl pretty rocks when she's mad at me[00:01:35]
Tear-drop shaped uh perfect clarity[00:01:37]
It shocks so many are killed annually[00:01:40]
'Cause of greed lust and pure vanity[00:01:42]
Stop talkin' and do somethin' about it[00:01:44]
Every holiday season jewelry stores crowded[00:01:46]
Kids snatched from their homes mutilated alive[00:01:48]
Husbands separated from wives [00:01:50]
Keep the Jesus piece to be fly[00:01:52]
But back in the day there was[00:01:54]
A time when they called us shine[00:01:55]
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead[00:01:57]
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed[00:01:59]
Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants dead[00:02:01]
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloodshed[00:02:03]
They wanna shine on shine on shine on shine on[00:02:05]
Shine on shine on shine on shine on[00:02:09]
