BLOOD
REID Lyrics

Modern vampires of the city, hunting blood
People in the city are like vampires who are always hunting for blood, meaning they are always in search of something to gain or exploit.

You coulda from Rema, or ya come from Jungle
It doesn't matter where you come from, everyone is the same and connected as one blood.

I was rollin', showin my age, unshaven
I was driving around, looking my age, my face unshaven and rugged like I have nothing to lose.

Rugged with my Timberland boots that paid
I am wearing my Timberland boots which are worn and paid for, symbolizing that I have been through tough times but I have survived.

I walk with a slight lean from the weight of my heat
I walk with a slight lean due to the weight of the gun I am carrying, meaning that I am always ready for anything.

Givin' a green to shine infra-red beam
I am giving money to someone to install an infra-red beam on my gun because I want to be able to see where I am shooting in the dark.

At the street traffic light recorders
At traffic lights, there are cameras recording our every move, making it hard for us to do what we do without getting caught.

Takin pictures of our corners
The cameras are taking pictures of our hangout spots trying to catch us in the act of something illegal.

Cameras on the side of the buildings, we destroy 'em
We destroy the cameras on the buildings because we don't want anyone watching us and documenting our every move.

The Chameleon throws cream to children, out the window
The Chameleon is someone who gives back to his community and throws money out of the window as a sign of his generosity, even to children.

We movin' in unmarked vans, disguised as a light tan
We've started using unmarked vans to transport things to avoid suspicion and covertly move things around, hidden in plain sight.

With plastic faces and rubber hands
We are disguising our faces and hands with plastic and rubber so no one can identify us.

Fuck fame, I shoot a hole in a 50 cent piece to test my aim
I don't care about fame, I care about being the best at what I do, and I test my skills by shooting a small target, to get better and better.

How dare you call the Gods in vain
It's offensive and disrespectful to call upon gods casually without acknowledging the seriousness of the act and the beliefs involved.

Not knowin' the seriousness of this and why I came
Most people don't understand how serious things can get, and why I'm doing this.

To Earth, feet first
I arrived on Earth as a helpless baby with only my feet first into the world.

I dare you lion tame to the beat of the drum
I challenge you to do something that's almost impossible, like taming a lion to the beat of a drum.

No questionin' to the session, I walk with gun
I'm always carrying my gun with me, without any questions because that's just how it is.

The magnum'll bust his head from many directions unknown
If I shoot you with my magnum, the bullet will come at you from an unknown direction, like a ghost.

Another statistic, change the ballistics
If I shoot someone, they will just become another statistic, and to avoid being caught, I will always change the way I fired the gun.

On the nozzle, make em goggle and swallow
When I fire my gun, it creates a glowing fire in front of the nozzle, making people goggle in wonder and swallow their fear.

Scrape the craters of the brain for data
After a person dies, the only thing left is the data stored in their brain, so we scrape the craters of the brain for any useful information.

Old scriptures on withered paper
We study old texts written on old, withered papers to find clues and learn ancient knowledge.

Beginnin take shape and form
The beginning is slowly taking shape and form, referring to the start of something big, perhaps a movement or change.

When the Gods get on it and crash your college dorm
When the gods get involved, they can make things happen in a big way, like crashing a college dorm, meaning changing things in a big way.

Now verse 2, even more deadly than the first
The second verse is even more dangerous and lethal than the first.

Unrehearsed raw footage part 2 for you
This is raw and unfiltered footage of my life, part 2 just for you.

I give this dedication, project elimination
I dedicate my life to eliminating things or people who stand in my way or threaten me or my mission.

He's a burnt offering, nothing up my sleeve
He is a sacrifice, and I don't have anything up my sleeve to help me, meaning I must rely on myself.

I'm just vanishin with the vanishin cream
I'm disappearing with the vanishin cream, meaning I'm going somewhere far away or just vanishing into thin air.

Here's jewels to live by
Here's some advice that I've learned to help you live your life.

Identify before you enter and can't leave with weed
Before you enter somewhere, make sure you know what's going on and you won't be trapped there, caught with weed or drugs.

Fuck that, we waste no time in search of those who can't breathe
We don't waste time searching for people who can't keep up or who need help breathing, they are on their own.

A bomb only has one time to explode
A bomb can only be used once, and it's always deadly.

When I break I'm takin' everything
When I break, I'm taking everything that I want or need, even if it's not mine.

Turn the city streets to Dusty Rhodes
I'll turn the city streets into chaos and destruction, like a famous wrestler Dusty Rhodes.

Behold this return of the Invincible Tone
Witness the return of the one and only Invincible Tone, ready to conquer all.

Rude like Governor Tuse and King Toustume
I'm as rude and powerful as rulers like Governor Tuse and King Toustume.

Who gave the order to bust 'em?
Who ordered the attack?

Don't ask this is Genuine Draft
Don't question my actions, this is the real deal.

Blueprint ultimate legit sting international, stone love classical
Everything I do is perfectly planned and executed, with a classic style that people love.

Comin' back, to attack in black fatigue
I'm coming back to attack with full force, wearing black fatigue clothing for stealth and intimidation.

Mothers fighting daughters every day

Sisters hating sisters
It's sad to see sisters hating each other instead of loving and supporting each other.

Rappers getting murdered, every day
It's scary how many rappers are getting killed every day for reasons we may never understand.

You coulda come from Lima, or come from Georgia
It doesn't matter where you come from, everyone is the same and connected as one blood.

The fussing and fighting
All the conflict and fighting.

The tribal war, racial war
The fighting and division between different ethnic groups and races.

'Cause blood, blood
All of this fighting and conflict is because we are all one blood, and people are not recognizing this unifying factor.
