lyrics

Blood on binder
Blood on th hair
His first real hair cut
They didn't care
T shot tomorrow
Blood running out his vein
Life taken
From beautiful brains

Blood in the garage
What is worth
4 cent for what left on earth
Blood on car hood
He’ll never ride
2 black bodies swinging
Side by side


Blood in flint pipe
Blood in the water
Running into kitchen
In house of poor sons and daughter
Blood on city who bought the pipes
Blood full of lead
Blood full of lies

Blood on fishnet
Blood on the dirt
Another trans women gone from the earth
Blood on the wig
Blood were they lie
They just keep driving
No tears in their eyes

Blood on hand
Delicate and strong
Signing words
As they pull gun
Stop the he can't hear
The passerby said
Too late
Body flushed red



Red on afro curl
Backyard in red
Black bodies shot already dead
They see a cellphone
Say it gun
Call for back up
Shoot and run

One police car
2 different world
Black on the hard seat
Front seat for blonde curls
One pale softy handcuff
Brow pressed on ground
I can't breathe
Another body down

Brown bodies sitting
Ice knocks on the door
Take ur child can't see them no more
Cold warehouse floor
And little brown feet
4,600 children
Where could they be

People in a club
Dancing the night away
50 bodies lie
As gay night turns to bloody day
Queer bodies
Dying soak in red
Rainbow flag
Cover the dead

As I sit smoking on the porch
I wonder how much my black body worth
If it stolen from the earth
A penny and nickel and dime
How much am Is black trans body worth in Americas eyes
