chorus
bling bling...yeah...aweh mi simting
bling bling...emerald cut ring
bling bling...yeah...aweh mi simting
bling bling...chapparita and ting

fifty men dead for this golden chain
each link forged by an old man's pain
mined from below with sweat and fear
brought to a mine with a widow's tear

fifty men dead for this diamond ring
that takes the shine of the cheap bling thing
kinda mek you think it no bonafide
fi wear souvenirs from the men that died

chorus

if you really love me then don't buy me a ring
diamonds and pearls, they don't mean anything
all that i want is already here

sitting by my side, you got nothing to fear

chorus

fifty men dead for the golden band
under the ground with a pick in his hand
cutting the dirt where the sun don't shine
digging to survive in the man's gold mine

how many dead for this golden crown
this holy shrine you gather 'round
worship the dollar on your hands and knees
humbled in the presence in your jewelery

chorus

if you really love then don't buy me a ring
diamonds and pearls, they don't mean anything
all that i want is already here
sitting by my side, you got nothihg to fear

chorus

*** Complimentary bling bling Ringtone ***
