Bleed Through

When all the colors bleed through,

Well I know what I could do.

When brown is red, the needle turned too.

Well we know what we’ve been through.

I love the sky, but I don’t like blue.

I love the birds, but I want out this zoo.

I Don’t like, but love each and every single hue.

If no one said it, let me say it, I love you.

I don’t gotta hate or lie today, all I do is speak truth.

I don’t care if you’re purple, pink, or polka dot too.

Black, brown, white, yellow, red, I don’t care about your crew.

Love can conquer hate, even hate like the Ku.

Wasn’t big on hugs, but got big on drugs.

Ask Alice, they made me small too.

Robbed some dealers, robbed some friends, robbed my family, not so cool.

Died four times on these lines, that’s what these Baltimore trenches do.

But if you want help and will help yourself, I’m recovered to help you.

To get to where I am, there was mud I had to walk through.

All my colors bled through, bird flu hit me ‘til I flew.

The smack in the bird city, that’s the sickness we go through.

Young people dying from bullets, fentanyl, carfentanil, nothing to pursue.

It won’t discriminate, it kills the rainbow, leaves all bodies blue.

It’s like I said, and I love myself, so I can love you.

I don’t gotta hate or lie today, all I do is speak truth.

I don’t care if you’re purple, pink, or polka dot too.

Black, brown, white, yellow, red, I don’t care about your crew.

I don’t discriminate, I got a lot of help, from a lot of people too.

That’s why, ask for help and I will do whatever I can do.

I love the miracle of the rainbow, but I can’t miracle you.

It takes something greater, and most of it has to come from your clue.

Change isn’t easy, I can only change me, not you.

But when I’m blessed, I can help you change you.

And love can’t always conquer hate, but it’s the only power for that coup.

Whatever pain, it’s better when you break the chains, to free you.
