I think...
this song is about how kids and young adults are loosing their lives producing the diamonds and priceless stones we splurge so much on these days. We are desperately wanting to get these diamonds and some of us will even put half our lives in danger for them , just like those children, (But they are chasing after food,water,shelter etc. all the things we have in order to survive. They care less for wanting diamonds or any other crap)
Kanye and Jay-Z seems to be playing roles here in this song
like,
Kanye is trying to be a activist by telling us how people are getting hurt from what we buy and we should be ashamed and guilty on how selfish we are being.
and Jay-Z
seems to be playing our "typical" rich man that is well respected by a lot of people. He tries to set us in his point of view in his luxurious life so we are able to connect our lives to the people that are dying digging up mines on the other side of the world.
