Blood Lyrics by Malcom Mufunde & YaadUniverse

Ekhaya

2023

Verse 1:
Uh
The ink will be my blood if I’ve to write from the heart
My veins and arteries bleed all for the sake of this art
Day and night spilling and the hemorrhage killing me
All for one or two listeners to opine that I’m killing it
The writer dies once the ink well runs dry
But do the readers empathize with pouring life into rhyme?
And will they donate some if I told them my blood type
Or they’ll say I’m disingenuous and I’m jacking a style?
You gotta open new wounds to compose new music
And thick skin is slightly too bad for your bruises
You need to really bleed, all the greats died anemic
You need to shed blood, sweat and tears for each lyric
You’re hemophiliac, that’s the only reason we’re feeling ya
Them sketchers use red paint but you take art serious
See, all these other rappers; they don’t know what’s called blood
You murder every verse ‘cause you write in cold blood
Hook:
Blood
It’s creeping on me, man, I feel like I’m a Blood
Blood
I already sold my soul, why’d I gotta sacrifice my blood?
I’m already running out but these youngings coming out for blood
I’m just trynna buy some time but I guess it’s too rich for my blood
Verse 2:
You’re so good with words ‘cause it’s something in your blood
And the fans go crazy every time they see your blood
You got blue blood, we can feel it in your pen
‘Cause you write like kings do, it’s all in the same vein
Your library is your capillaries, you let us read your heart
Your art is to draw blood and use blood to draw art
But this art doesn’t pay so it’s bleeding me dry
And the fans want new blood, I’m too old for this fight
I’ll never draw first blood, not quite in that sense
All I can do is make the page look like vascular mess
But still none of my music’s even in circulation
And that thought sometimes stops all my blood circulation
I got bad blood with the fans
I get high blood pressure, my blood boiling with rage
You don’t understand a blood clot is like a writer’s block
And I gotta make it dissolve every time I write you a note
Hook:
Blood
It’s creeping on me, man, I feel like I’m a Blood
Blood
I already sold my soul, why’d I gotta sacrifice my blood?
I’m already running out but these youngings coming out for blood
I’m just trynna buy some time but I guess it’s too rich for my blood
Verse 3:
So what exactly does it mean that I write with my blood?
It means family secrets; why I don’t talk to my blood
It means telling you my uncle died in a pool of blood
It means telling you the disease that I carry in my blood
Is the same that took my ex-girl, nephew and aunt
It means I’m living on borrowed time, I’m the next one to pass
It means telling you one Thursday, I’d a fight with a friend
He woke up dead the next Friday, I think I’ve blood on my hands
It means crying my heart out while breaking your heart
So at times I lie ‘cause I’ve your best interests at heart
It means I gotta be soft so you won’t take it too hard
‘Cause everything I write, you’re gonna take it to heart
It means telling you we’ll never have money in our blood
So I’ll take that blood money if you gave me the chance
It means telling you that blood is thicker than water
Even though I haven’t seen my own sister’s lil daughter
But we blood
Hook:
It’s creeping on me, man, I feel like I’m a Blood
Blood
I already sold my soul, why’d I gotta sacrifice my blood?
I’m already running out but these youngings coming out for blood
I’m just trynna buy some time but I guess it’s too rich for my blood
