What The Blood Clot
Wu‐Tang Clan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I hear is gun shots
Can I touch something?
What the blood claat!
Niggaz want tical make it happen
You know my fuckin' style fuck the rappin'
We can take it back to eighty five if you want to start actin' like you live
It's all good, I'm rollin' with my clique
Owls Packwoods & Phillies smokin' sess blunts mixed with illy
Got me bustin' now the whole world looks dusted
I'm in the area with the skill that never rusted
For real, nigga, touch it & you burn, when will motherfuckers learn
What be spreadin' like a germ? Ha ha, it's Meth, word
I be that early bird that got the worm & if you check it
I'm on point, like a fax machine you get the message
It be no question & them bust the second guessin's
Keep your thoughts on your lessons
What the blood claat!
To tell the truth, you don't amaze me Killa Hill project
A Star Trek phaser couldn't phase me what
Check the Raderuckus fuck this
Smoke a Dutchmaster, have 'em screamin' for the duchess
Yeah, I gotta have it, so I strive to stick my piece
If I don't do it for mydelf, I'm a do it for Kase
'Cause that's my peoples, I'm giving you injections that be Lethal
Weapon, when niggaz start the half steppin'
Then I get evil. But don't let that negative vibe right there
Mislead you, I'm humble, a fucking Killer Bee
Far from bumble, I sting you BZT and I bring you
Thirty-six chambers of head banger, bitch
Why I deal with? I think the mic is on the fritz
Faggot soundmen! They be sabotagin' shit
Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane




Methical, let the whole world know my fuckin' name
What the blood claat!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of What The Blood Clot by Wu-Tang Clan touch upon several topics such as guns, street life, and hip-hop rivalry. The chorus of the song, "What the blood claat!" is a Jamaican exclamation which roughly translates to "What the hell!" or "What the fuck!". The opening lines, "All I hear is gunshots, can I touch something?" suggest that the song is set in a violent environment where shooting is a regular occurrence. The use of "touch something" may refer to the desire to own a gun, which is often seen as a symbol of power and control over one's environment.


The lyrics also mention "tical", which is a reference to Method Man's debut album titled "Tical". The line "Niggaz want tical make it happen" may indicate the desire of other rappers to create a similar album as a way of achieving success. Method Man's lyrical style is also referenced as "fuck the rappin'", which suggests a preference for a more aggressive and authentic delivery. The line "We can take it back to eighty-five if you want to start actin' like you live" may refer to the golden era of hip-hop when the genre was still in its early stages and rappers had to prove their credentials through lyrical excellence and street credibility.


The lyrics also touch upon drug use, with mentions of smoking "sess blunts mixed with illy" and the effect it has on the world around them. Meth's skill as a rapper is also highlighted with lyrics such as "I'm in the area with the skill that never rusted". The chorus "What the blood claat!" is repeated several times, possibly as a way to emphasize the frustration and anger felt by the rappers towards their environment.
