Best Friend Forever

Some would say that it’s the glint within the air,
Offering the hint of an affair,
One that’s long-standing & international,
Since ancient ships delivered here

Because from the poorest pauper to the richest billionaire,
Everybody knows that diamonds are the world’s best friend,

Forever wasn’t always contrived to be flawless,
We’ll gamble our lives for such stones,
We’ll put our love on the rocks,
To be humbled and chopped,
And such passionate cries still leave us feeling alone

Dying for such pleasure to keep a relationship whole,
Because diamonds are the world’s best friend

When you inflate wealth,
You inflate stealth,
Destabilise the government,
And you created hell

Buy low, sell high, profits greatly swell,
Because diamonds are the world’s best friend

They rest within crown jewels and family heirlooms,
Antique’ road showing rapper’s costume,
A 24-carat skull made the art world drool
Because diamonds are the world’s best friend

They’ll fund your wars,
And settled your scores,
Maintain the precious line between rich and poor,
Win the hearts of fair maidens,
Maintained the masks of fair whores,
Because diamonds are the world’s best friend

Are there bloodstains in your coffee?
Did it strain to make your tea?
Is there a history of pain behind every commodity?
Is there a sting behind the ring behind the bling of jewelry?
When diamonds are the world’s best friend
