Jay Loveless Poet I do not know?

Bleed the Same 1

walking down the street
not studdering to the A-town beat
too many brothers in my heart
too many that i hope wont ever part
once upon a time, maybe they were all brothers at heart

one has red hanging out his pocket
one has black hanging out his pocket
one has gold hanging out his pocket
one has blue hanging out his pocket

if they see each other one thing is gonna happen
           bang
                        bang
                                       bang
                                                   bang
                              bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!
red blood on the ground
we all bleed the same

im walking down the street
my bro is strollin to the A-town beat
he got these red colors on his shirt
he says stay at mi homeboys place
baby sis i gotta go do some work
big brother leaves
im peeking out the window of this house 
i never before did meet
black car strollen down the street

one thing happens now, it happens to all so fast
         bang 
                        bang
                                    bang
                                                 bang
                      bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!
the house got sprayed
we all bleed the same

im walking down the street
my homeboys walkin to the A-town beat
he got blue hanging as a flag
he's dark but im whiter then day
guys come walkin down the street
if we dont disapear my homeboys ass is gonna get beat
and they come take me away
inituation for the new boys joinin today
as the sounds on the street go 
       bang
                  bang 
                                bang
                                            bang
                            bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!

my boy will get stabbed or shot  
we all bleed the same

im walkin down the street
so sick of this A-town beat
my friends got gold beneath his hat
as we walk he laughs
red passes us by
he tells me someones bout to die
and pulls me away
he says here. stay
and goes out to do some gang play
            bang
                        bang
                                   bang
                                               bang
                          bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!

he gets himself back to where i been
we all bleed the same
