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
The lyrics to Goodie Mob feat. Big Rube's song Blood speak to the importance of unity amongst black people. The opening lines state that it is a shame that so many black people fail to recognize that they are all the same, and that in failing to recognize this fact, they are inadvertently supporting their enemy. This enemy is likely a reference to the larger societal structures that have historically oppressed black people, such as systemic racism and white supremacy.
The following lines offer advice to those who consider themselves "playas" or players - people who are involved in street life or urban culture. The song warns against making decisions hastily, and encourages people to use precision when assessing a situation. This is likely because hasty decisions can lead to violence and unnecessary bloodshed, which the song suggests is a waste of precious blood - a metaphor for life.
Overall, the song is a powerful call for black unity and a condemnation of the violence and internal divisions that have plagued black communities for so long. The lyrics encourage listeners to embrace their common identity rather than allowing themselves to be divided and conquered by their oppressors.
Line by Line Meaning
We all blood related, it's a shame that some don't see
We as human beings are all connected, it's disappointing that not everyone recognizes this
Helping the enemy only leads to our defeat
Assisting the opposing group only results in our own failure
If you're a player, make wise choices with intention
If you consider yourself a player in life, be deliberate and thoughtful in your decisions
Rushing into decisions can lead to destruction
Making quick decisions without proper consideration can result in negative consequences
Your blood represents who you are, don't let it go to waste.
Your identity and legacy are tied to your actions and decisions, so make them count.
