El corazón es engañoso por encima de todas las cosas
The heart is deceitful above all things
My favorite line in the Bible
It’s words give me a title
Makes me remember how my father wouldn’t let me read the scriptures as a Child
If I knew this line
It would’ve gave me time to think about this time
Instead of catching queen bees in mayonnaise jars
And making wishes on shooting stars that were actually lights flashing from cop cars
Mi Corazon was deceiving me
I thought I was living in a world of dolls and chocolates my grandmother hid in small places
But if the truth is what I’m facing
My childhood was no Disney movie
Worse than a lifetime
Boys in white t-shirts rolling dice hoping 5 singles would save them in This lifetime
It was fazed my bubblegum machines in the bodega on the corner with all the men in shining bracelets and timberland boots instead of seeing young men wearing church shoes and suits
This is my infancy
My beginning
My start
My heart became deceitful living in the South Bronx
