hear my brothers heartbeats
by judy joy jones

oh yeah sweet baby
hear ya heartbeats
an see yo tears of blood
dyin fo our eyes
on dem cold
concrete streets

systems made to kill
not heal
people gettin rich
off po mans back

have a drink
sweet darlin
its on me

oh yeah baby
humans not made
to die like animals
on filthy streets

police arrestin
po fallin down
from hunger an neglect

yeah sweet baby chile
hears ya heartbeats
an sees yo tears of blood

yo piercin screams
echo in da night
beggin us
to give a damn
if ya sees
the mornings light

so darlin
have a drink on me
yeah sweet baby
dis ones on me

mans not made
to die on
filthy streets
tomorrow
could be me

yeah sweet baby
hear ya heartbeats
and see ya
tears of blood
dyin fo our eyes
on these freezin
concrete streets

tomorrow
could be me
