Black Blood

Hands on the table, oooh yeah

You killed my uncle back in '83

Guns on the table, oooh yeah

They killed my daddy back in '93

I seen too much and I'm just 23

I know some killaz born in '96

I'll take you back, I'll teach you how to swim

I reminisce, I remi-

I reminisce like I was 85

Beyond your dollar sign and your skin

I reminisce, I remi-, I reminisce, I-

I know ya, I know ya hurt

I know ya love me, I know the pain, it breaks my heart

I know you love me, I know you hurt some

I know what love is, I know ya

I know the black blood, make the grass grow, in the ghetto

Black love, keep the sunshine, on your face, I know

Black blood, make the grass grow, in the ghetto

Black love, black love

Black blood, make the grass grow, in the ghetto (I know)

Black blood, make the grass grow, in the ghetto (I know)

Black blood, make the grass grow, in the ghetto

Black blood (black blood), I know (I know)

They killed my pop when I was just sixteen (Oh no no)

They took my innocence away from me (No no no)

In my hood I done did some crazy things (Oh no no)

But that's all the shit that made me a king (No no no)

Cause I still see the sun rise, and the moon shine

I look in my son's eyes, and I'm grateful two times

And two types of niggas where I'm from, and they both the same

Know yourself, know the streets, know the game, know the pain

Novocain make me numb, know the chains make me dumb

Chain me to my brother, hate each other 'til we eighty something

Make me run from myself, this like my own flesh

So we on bullshit, just like I'm on jets

Oh yes, time's hard, you all stressed, your mind's gone

Going through a large test, hard-pressed to find God, define God

Look in the mirror, you might find God

Even though we full of sin we full of him, defy odds

My scars match his as long as I've been beat down

I should have nails through my hands and my feet now

He was on the cross said speak, now I'm hearin' you

Saved by the blood, he might leak down a miracle

Gotta be the-

Black blood make the grass grow in the ghetto

Black blood keep the sunshine on your face, I know

Black blood make the grass grow in the ghetto

Black blood, black blood

Black blood, make the grass grow, in the ghetto (I know)

Black blood, make the grass grow, in the ghetto (I know)

Black blood, make the grass grow, in the ghetto

Black blood (black blood), I know (I know)

In the ghetto (Ghetto)

Black blood, make the grass grow

Ohhh, ohhh (Ohhh)

Ohhh, black blood (In the ghetto)

(Ghetto) Black blood, ohhh
