Blood Diamond is a 2006 political thriller film co-produced and directed by Edward Zwick and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou. The title refers to blood diamonds, which are diamonds mined in African war zones and sold to finance conflicts, and thereby profit warlords and diamond companies across the world.
Set during the Sierra Leone Civil War in 1992-2002, the film shows a country torn apart by the struggle between government soldiers and rebel forces. It also portrays many of the atrocities of that war, including the rebels' amputation of people's hands to discourage them from voting in upcoming elections.
The film's ending, in which a conference is held concerning blood diamonds, is in reference to an actual meeting that took place in Kimberley, South Africa in 2000 and led to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, which seeks to certify the origin of rough diamonds in order to curb the trade in conflict diamonds. The film received mixed but generally favourable reviews.
Yeah, ski mask boy, ce o ene, gates of hell, uh huh
Yeah that's right, decipher this
It's encrypted, it's encoded with that gangsta shit
Ha, yeah, blood diamonds
What you know about that
Vatos getting killed trying to find this shit
It's grilling the field, gotta creep with the steel
Notorious enemy, angel of death, no toque
The west side villain, it say have kill
Big C Rock, is robbing and stealing
But coke chilling, on this icy pad
Ese heat getting close and my tech go clack
Don't sleep, and never will
Ese that's the deal, ese that's the drill
You out of pocket, I'ma go in your pocket
And fill my chest, with the riches that coming
I come out the back, with ah pack of zags
I roll up ah joint, and hit that fast
My weed bad, fool it's medical grown
They don't test for weed, when your on parole
So go figure, enemy in the river
Scarface dos, I'm that trap house builder
I get scrappy, en la escena
Cus I do my brujeria en la luna llena
Blood diamonds, blood diamonds
Blood diamonds, blood diamonds
When you listen to my shit, it's what you'll be
finding
I don't hesitate, to bury this cats
Mac-11's on the move, to get them stacks
(mac-11 shots) that's how they get it
On some real ass shit I don't get enough credit
It's embedded, in my DNA
I'm way off the radar with the shit I say
Know what I mean, that's how it's seemed
On this mess, started with the dream
Bold cutters, to get through them gates
And hit that lit, that's how I compensate
I'm the one, that you need to know
C O N, E J to the O
Let's roll, ain't no time to waste
After all this years, I need some food on my plate
No features, just ah mythical creature
Ese flying through the sky with no end in sight
Blood diamonds, blood diamonds
Blood diamonds, blood diamonds
When you listen to my shit, it's what you'll be
finding
The illest vato moving, and it's been proven
With that download game I got the industry grooving
So cold, the ice age is back
I microwave rappers when I feel they whack
That's that, it's time to brake their bones
And put their pieces in ah pot and control the zone
The dark liquor, is what I'm sipping
Lines of caine, it's time for fixing
That's when I aim, the vein was chosen
Dope running through my body and the villain is
golden
Cigar smoking, after shooting something
I get back to work, if I don't work there's nothing
That's ah blast, from the past
Do your dirt, and I do mine fast
No pass, when you come to my slumb
Ese 3 black holes foo it's time to hunt
Blood diamonds, blood diamonds
Blood diamonds, blood diamonds
When you listen to my shit, it's what you'll be
finding
This track right here, be on some
We the baddest part 2 type of shit
Kno I mean, la tinta de tatuaje
