Born and raised in Detroit, this super group began their journey as emcees via different paths that eventually brought them together. Their effort to separate themselves from the pack will prove to be successful through their new album. Their debut album combines a down to earth perspective and heartfelt lyrics.
Lock and C Dell began performing together all over the city and began to build a buzz throughout the streets. As fate would have it, after countless performance together fans began to ask for the two promising emcees to record a project together. Also, C Dell and Lock had a meeting with De Notes where the idea was pitched to them again. Eventually, they began to see the movement that was being created behind them and decided to officially form D.R.G.
Blood
D.R.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thought of you from coming in
But like a blind over my eyes
All the time
All those months just went so fast
Now I'm not mentally prepared
I'm tightrope walking
I was so surprised
So surprised
So surprised and so blind
We may be blood but do we relate at all
We may be blood but do we relate at all
Do we relate at all
It's not as if you aren't not my friend
Clearly you're so much more than that
I wanna get to know you
But even you don't know who you are
Now my energy's been drained
Cause how can I expect to be staying up all night
There's a pain in my eyes
In my eyes
So surprised and so blind
We may be blood but do we relate at all
We may be blood but do we relate at all
Do we relate at all
