Blood
Bad Child Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a bite like a rottweiler
Nineteen years, only got wilder
Nineteen years, didn't get wiser
Nineteen years, I'm a survivour

I'ma drop it low to the grave
Momma did her best, she was brave but
I'ma drop it low to the grave
I'ma try my best to behave but

It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
We do it rough

It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
We do it rough

Round two – fight!

Grandma was a saint
Grandpa was a sniper
I still got my love
But I'm still a fighter

I'ma drop it low to the grave
Momma did her best, she was brave but
I'ma drop it low to the grave
I'ma try my best to behave but

It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
We do it rough

It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
We do it rough





It's family

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bad Child's song "Blood" speak to the idea of family and the experiences that shape an individual. The opening lines "I got a bite like a rottweiler / Nineteen years, only got wilder" suggest that the singer has a fierce, primal nature. The next lines, "Nineteen years, didn't get wiser / Nineteen years, I'm a survivor," imply that the singer has experienced some difficulties in life but has managed to overcome them, even if they haven't necessarily learned from them.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that this wild, fighting spirit is inherited and part of the singer's bloodline. The repetition of "It's in my blood / We do it rough" reinforces this idea and suggests that this behavior is not something that can be easily changed or suppressed. The lines "Grandma was a saint / Grandpa was a sniper" continue to build on this idea of family lineage and the experiences that shape a person's life.


Overall, "Blood" is a song about the foundational experiences that shape an individual's identity and behavior. Despite the idea that we can choose who we become, the song suggests that much of who we are is predetermined by our family upbringing and experiences.
