Big Rube Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When niggas gon realize we the same
You helpin' the enemy win the game
If you a playa use precision
Don't make a decision in haste
Your blood is a terrible thing to waste
It's a shame
You helpin the enemy win the game
If you a playa use precision
Don't make a decision in haste
Your blood is a terrible thing to waste
We all blood
Big Rube's song Blood is a powerful commentary on the ways in which people are often pitted against each other and kept divided because of their race, even though we are all fundamentally the same. The song begins with the line "It's a shame," which sets the tone for the rest of the song, inviting listeners to consider all of the ways in which human beings are often at war with each other over trivial differences. As the song progresses, Big Rube delivers a powerful warning about the danger of making impulsive decisions and not taking the time to consider how our actions affect other people. He emphasizes that our blood is a valuable commodity, and that we should not waste it by fighting against our own brothers and sisters.
The way in which Big Rube delivers his message is by focusing on the urgency of the present moment. He stresses that we cannot afford to wait any longer to start treating each other with kindness and respect. The repetition of the line "When niggas gon realize we the same" underscores this sense of urgency, as if Big Rube is imploring his listeners to wake up and see the reality of the situation. He also builds to a powerful climax at the end of the song, when he repeats the line "We all blood" to drive home the message that our differences are ultimately superficial and that we must recognize our connectedness if we are to survive and thrive.
