Chorus
Bling, bling... yeah... aweh mi simiting
Bling, bling... emerald cut ring
Bling, bling... yeah... aweh mi simiting
Bling, bling chapparita and ting
Fiffy men dead for this golden chain
Each link forged by a poor man's pain
Mined from below with sweat and fear
Brought to a shine with a widow's tear
Fiffy men dead for this diamond ring
Dat takes the shine off the cheap bling thing
Kind a mek you think it no nonafide
Fi wear souvenirs from the men that died
Chorus
If you really love me, then don't buy me a ring
Diamonds and pearis 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 this golden band
Underground with a pick in their hand
Cutting dirt where tha sun nuh shine
Digging to survive in the man's goldmine
How many dead for this royal crow
This holy shrine we gather round
Worship the dollar pon your hands and knee
Humbled in the presence of your jewellery
Chorus
If you really love me then don't buy me a ring
Diamonds and pearis they don't mean anything
All that i want is already here
Sitting by side, you got nothing to fear
Chorus
