Bloodlust

8 ContributorsGod, Please Believe Me LyricsI spend my life between the light blue lines of loose leaf

I spend my time between impressionable minds and true beef

I spend my days up, my nights up, it's too hard to sleep

Look at my face, it's not the one of someone at peace

I carry guns when I don't need to, but my mind's so fucked

I see assassins coming out of the rough

I keep my doors locked, windows shut, shades down, so pound

Waiting on some Satans who may think of invading

When I do sleep I dream about pain and unrest

About gunfights and dum-dums exploding my chest

I see my boys that've died sitting with me again

And when I wake I realise that I've lost most of my friends

Will my past come back to get me?

Will them bosses that we shot come back to wreck me?

I'm paranoid, it ain't easy when your lifestyle was grimy and greasy

I'm trying to make peace with the karma and the drama

God, please believe me

[Intro: Ice-T]

It's unfortunate that we even have to say 'Black Lives Matter', I mean, if you go through history nobody ever gave a fuck. I mean, you can kill black people in the street, nobody goes to jail, nobody goes to prison. But when I say 'Black Lives Matter' and you say 'All Lives Matter', that's like if I was to say 'Gay Lives Matter' and you say 'All Lives Matter'. If I said, 'Women's Lives Matter' and you say 'All Lives Matter', you're diluting what I'm saying. You're diluting the issue. The issue isn't about everybody. It's about black lives, at the moment

But the truth of the matter is, they don't really give a fuck about anybody, if you break this shit all the way down to the low fucking dirty-ass truth

[Verse 1]

We say that 'Black Lives Matter'

Well truthfully they really never have

No one ever really gave a fuck

Just read your bullshit history books

But honestly it ain't just black

It's yellow, it's brown, it's red

It's anyone who ain't got cash

Poor whites that they call trash

[Pre-Chorus]

They can't, fuck with us

Once they realise we're all on the same side

They can't, split us up

And let them prosper off the divide

They can't, fuck with us

Once they realize we're all on the same side

They can't, split us up

And let them prosper off the divide

[Chorus]

Don't fall for the bait and switch

Racism is real, but not it

They fuck whoever can't fight back

But now we gotta change all that

The people have had enough

Right now, it's them against us

This shit is ugly to the core

When it comes to the poor

No lives matter

[Verse 2]

America's always been

A place that judge my skin

And racism is real as fuck

Ain't no way to play that off

And in the eyes of the law

Black skin has always stood for poor

This is basic shit

They know who they fucking with

[Pre-Chorus]

They can't, fuck with us

Once they realise we're all on the same side

They can't, split us up

And let them prosper off the divide

They can't, fuck with us

Once they realize we're all on the same side

They can't, split us up

And let them prosper off the divide

[Chorus]

Don't fall for the bait and switch

Racism is real, but not it

They fuck whoever can't fight back

But now we gotta change all that

The people have had enough

Right now, it's them against us

This shit is ugly to the core

When it comes to the poor

No lives matter

[Spoken: Ice-T]

You never see them pulling rich people out of their cars in their neighbourhoods, because they know they got lawyers. They know they'll sue their ass. They can tell who to fuck with. Unfortunately, black or brown skin has always meant poor. They're profiling you kid. They know you can't fight back. But we about to

[Bridge: News Reports]

Investigators say they are reviewing body camera and dashcam video of Tuesday's shooting. Police say that Keith Lamont Scott did have a gun in his hand when an officer shot him. But a new picture of the scene shows something at Scott's feet. A source tells our Charlotte affiliate it may be a gun, but people in the neighbourhood say the father of four was holding a book instead

Officer Vinson was in plain clothes when the shooting happened. He was not wearing a body worn camera. But we are told that three other officers wore theirs. The department is under increasing pressure to release police videos from the shooting. But the police chief says he will not do that right now because of the investigation

(Listen to me. This shit is deeper than racism)

[Chorus]

Don't fall for the bait and switch

Racism is real, but not it

They fuck whoever can't fight back

But now we gotta change all that

The people have had enough

Right now, it's them against us

This shit is ugly to the core

When it comes to the poor

No lives matter

This shit is ugly to the core

When it comes to the poor

No lives matter

This shit is ugly to the core

When it comes to the poor

No lives matter

[Intro]

Since the beginning of time, humans have killed each other because they disagree

The human is the only animal that actually kills for sport

The ability to kill is as innate as our ability to love

When someone hurts me I want revenge, I want them in pain, I want them dead

[Chorus]

I've got a sickness, bloodlust

I've got a sickness, bloodlust

[Verse 1]

I'm a carnivore, I can eat meat raw

I destroy almost everything I touch

I got a quick fuse, trip and I murder you

And forget you, more bullets the better

I can't explain it though, it makes me feel good

Zombie apocalypse, I live for the gore

Give me suicide, serial massacre

Execution yo, I always want more

I love the punishment, I love to dish it out

I want blood, motherfuck a submission

It's deep inside of me, violent tendencies

Like a scalpel when it makes its incision

[Chorus]

I've got a sickness, bloodlust

I've got a sickness, bloodlust

[Bridge]

I've got a love (It's a lust for blood)

I've got a love (It's a lust for blood)

I've got a love (It's a lust for blood)

[Interlude]

Sometimes I wonder am I somehow aroused by this shit

Then I wonder why certain people are pleased by others' pain

[Verse 2]

I've always had this, this ain't nothing new

This fucking sickness, probably the same as you

I love brutality, it makes my pulse rot

I mean fatality, bodies in dark skies

It's in my DNA, I don't care what you think

It's running through my veins, animal instinct

Make me mad, I want you to die

Different politics, millions of homicides

I get my rocks off letting these Glocks off

Cross me wrong, get your ass crossed up

I'm the human species, the most violent on Earth

I killed my own planet, I'm so sick that it hurts

[Chorus]

I've got a sickness, bloodlust

I've got a sickness, bloodlust

I've got a sickness, bloodlust

I've got a sickness, bloodlust
