[Intro]
Pride starts wars
Seems love has died too soon
When will we try?

[Verse 1]
I'll give breath to save your life
Bombs are falling from the sky
I'll be bold enough to fight
By your side, by your side
I think none of us are safe
We been in and out the race
Cries they echo into space
Tragedies we have to face

[Pre-Chorus]
I lost some friends
Some friends that I didn't want to
I lost some stars
My heart bleeds red, white, and blue
I've been in and out of the fire battling for you
Oh, bleeding on American soil

[Chorus]
I bleed American gold
On this American soil
We pay for the price it cost
I bleed this American gold
I cry for the ones I lost
I pray for the ones that don't
I'm bleeding on American Soil
I'm bleeding this American gold

[Post-Chorus]
I'm bleeding yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm bleeding American gold, gold, gold, yeah, yeah
It's leaking from my soul (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm bleeding American gold, gold, gold, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Feeling undefeated
From the ones who try to have power over you
Don't let them control you
Can't let them get through, get through
Won't you let them know right now
You won't let them drag you
Yeah, you always gon' pull through, pull through
You're coming out strong, strong, strong

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]

TLC is a trio whose musical repertoire spans over R&B, hip-hop, soul, pop, rock, funk, and new jack swing.

Consisting of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, rapper-singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, TLC found unprecedented success in the 1990s, not only as a musical group, but also for an extensive series of high profiled spats with the law, each other, and with their record label—all of which helped to solidify them as one of the definitive recording acts to emerge during the aforementioned time span.

The group, which is in fact the highest-selling girl group in America with 65 million records sold, is known for tackling important social issues in their music such as AIDS awareness, violence, domestic abuse, anorexia, bulimia, sexism, racism, and homophobia.
