Bleed
Bleed
We Bad
Ruffle feathers like bad weather
We young stormclouds
Dark on the horizon
Bad news
Niggas want to rumble real bad
Our blood be boiling
Be wanting to
Lock hands
Put it on somebody
We really want to fuck some stuff up
But what is that gon’ do?
How we gon’ handle this?
Blood gon’ be shed
Somebody going to jail
And Somebody else going to the hospital
Stab wounds, gunshots, take a long time to heal
But not as long as our spirits will take
Spirits will long remember
What these feet and fists feel like
Balled up made hard for contact against soft flesh
We will long remember what it feels like to have stomach folded over feet
Head buzzing
Blood in our mouths
Ears and face hot
So damn hot
Our spirits will not forget
This violence, this basic betrayal
Of what is best about us
Why we forgot how to come back from the place
Where our words don’t work
So we ride back to the words on one anothers’ pain
And so it goes:
“Bleed nigga bleed! Bleed nigga, nigga bleed! Nigga Bleed till you and I die. Nigga bleed till we die. Nigga bleed”
Nigga, I want you to bleed for me,
Your blood sacrifice is going to be my penance,
You on the cross me for me and everybody like me.
I need to forget so I am going to make you bleed
I am going to take it out on your flesh
Until I can’t shoot no more
Until I can’t beat you no more
Until you can’t breathe no more

I Am Because We Are
I Am Because We Are
Beautiful
Amazing
Glorious
Together
In Love
I Am Because We Are
not ever alone
never again
I was created for you
and you for me
We have become One
Wherever you go
There I am also
And this is not the beginning
or the end of anything
just a continuation
of what has always been
This will always be
We have been preparing for this
our whole lives
I Am Because We Are
devoted, deserving, amazing, beautiful
together and in love
I Am Because We Are
All that I am is committed to you
We are on the Golden Path
living our purpose in Divine Light
I Am Because We Are
in The Ideal State
completely surrounded by Love
I Am Because We Are
completely unafraid
to face anything
so long as it is together
that we face it
And it is this love,
this beautiful perfect Love
that has carried us
from the High Places
of our far off Homeland
Across the oceans into the cotton fields and cities of this new
land
and will carry us hand in hand
to our Golden Future
I Am Because We Are
Beautiful
Amazing
Precious
Complete
Together
In Love
