Perpetual Diamond (prod. Hijinks)

lyrics

There is blood on my hands as I dig through the sands of someone’s ancestral homeland
Pillaging resources in the earth for unearthly gain is some big man’s work, man
Stained caves and war painted faces take a stand without a battle plan
Just a tunnel to shake a rattle at our cattle wreaking havoc in the street
But please do not panic as manic people gather for water pouring out onto their feet,
In spite of what’s to eat treat our own like the weak
As we tear carbon heart from Gaea without a blink
We toil soil and think of getting through the dirty stink
A long while since we cashed out with heaps in such a style
Handfuls of perpetuation stacked up to our lips; LET’S GET WILD

Where in the world do diamonds come from? What is their elemental origin?
Where in the world do diamonds come from? Where the fuck can I find some?

I want to find some soon before I get too old
I'll gather all the loot the of course exchange for gold, and I'm bold enough to say
I'd hone my sights on the globe and then conquer all of my foes
Or maybe I'll just hold them close, hold them dearly in my arms while they grow so cold
So I may sneak within the confines of their tissue and bone
Getting a petty glimpse of their souls

Deep inside the mines of life I traverse alone without anyone this night
Never safe or sound I take stride through strife carrying canaries cause the scary effect
Of methane could bury me underneath a pile of ruble
Such fury lets exit immediately do not risk it for the glory of a buck
Reaching for a handful of De Beers, divine luck
The finite controls the mortal, but a diamond is forever with infinity playing a giant part
However I have cracks rotting my teeth to start
Exposing their connection running down to my heart
I can barely spar but I will go fucking hard if I get pushed too far
And spark some wisdom as you depart
So you think outside the jar, origin story for every diamond among the stars
