This Bleeding Heart of Mine

I must have died 100 times
With this bleeding heart of mine
I write between the lines
The box never crosses my mind
I've split the atom 100 times
I think in sync with the bottom line
But beloved, let me tell you, this heart...
It bleeds
And it bleeds
For everything
It bleeds for single mothers
lacking choices
facing faceless choices
how are they supposed to know what to do?
I feel good when I see LeBron
Product of a single mom
Making her proud
Cuz i'm tired of bringing greif to mine
It bleeds for dope-boys
laced up their boots at a young age
and got tied up in the street
it bleeds for niggers,
not too long ago tied up in the street
tied up to a tree
that matters to me
that could have been me
this bleeding heart of mine
bleeds for teachers
growing up students year after year
that will one day go through
all of the above
they have to learn not to fall in love
that has to be tough
this bleeding heart of mine bleeds for
Israel
Imagine suicide bombers
in the neighborhood where your kids play
at the market where you'll shop today
Imagine the imapct of the death
the breath never shared with those who are left
imagine if your big brother was Hamas
this bleeding heart of mine even bleeds for the junkies
the js
the crackheads
the bums
vagrants, transients
so many words with a sour fragrance
all to describe one thing
another human being
would you smoke a cigarette from behind a junkie's ear?
what if you were a junkie?
the bleeding heart of mine bleeds for smokers
taking that embarassing walk outside
with pride
on the outside
just to enjoy what they enjoy
it bleeds for babies
i cant imagine not being able to talk
not being able to understand what people are sayin
what language would i think in?
my heart bleeds to Freeway's "Alright"
Darius Rucker "Alright"
Zac Brown Band "Chicken Fried"
Lauryn Hill "To Zion"
i told u, this bleeding heart of mine bleeds for everything
it bleeds for everybody
everybody but the police
and i'm out
