Lyrics
[verse]
Shining bright but where's it really from
Every stone got a story, every stone got a song
Started in the ground where the workers bleed
Ended on a finger dressed in greed
[verse]
I'm rocking chains but I'm thinking twice
About the hands that paid the real price
Glamour on the surface, shadows underneath
Every sparkle hiding pain and grief
[chorus]
Diamonds, diamonds, shining so cold
Diamonds, diamonds, worth more than gold
But every diamond's got a hidden cost
Every diamond means a story lost
[verse]
Runway lights and cameras all around
Nobody talking 'bout the blood in the ground
I made it far but I ain't forgetting where
The real price of shine that we all wear
[chorus]
Diamonds, diamonds, shining so cold
Diamonds, diamonds, worth more than gold
But every diamond's got a hidden cost
Every diamond means a story lost
[bridge]
Look a little closer at the things you buy
Ask a little harder about the reasons why
Shine don't mean nothing if it's built on pain
We gotta find a better way, gotta break the chain
[chorus]
Diamonds, diamonds, shining so cold
Diamonds, diamonds, worth more than gold
But every diamond's got a hidden cost
Every diamond means a story lost
