Little was known on Sierra Leone

And how it connect to the diamonds we own

When I spit the diamonds in this song

I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless
34
'Til I seen a picture of a shorty armless

Spend your while life tryin' to get that ice

I had to get off the boat so I could walk on water

So he could just kick back and chill somewhere
