Lyrics

Lyrics There are songs that are just songs but some times songs have words that touch your heart. These are some that touch mine. This is the story of my life. I found a love for me Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead Well I found a girl, beautiful and sweet I never knew you were the someone waiting for me Cause we were just kids when we fell in love Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this time But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own And in your eyes you're holding mine Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know and She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets To carry love, to carry children of our own We are still ki...

The 'Exploitative' Bail-bond Industry

Legendary rapper and soon-to-be father of three Jay Z is bringing families together this Father’s Day, as he announced in a Friday Time op-ed that he’s teaming up with the organizations Southerners on New Ground, and Color of Change, to bail out fathers “who can’t afford the due process our democracy promises.” He also wants to rewrite the blueprint of America’s justice system, in which companies selling bail bonds, law firms and other high-interest financial products can charge exorbitant rates to people who can least afford it, but have no leverage or other options. “When black and brown people are over-policed and arrested and accused of crimes at higher rates than others, and then forced to pay for their freedom before they ever see trial, big bail companies prosper,” Jay Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, wrote in the op-ed. “This pre-incarceration puzzle warpped in an enigma, a conundrum is devastating to our families. One in 9 children of colour has an incarcerated parent. F...
