The song delves into Ghostemane’s hardcore punk roots and the struggles between fusing it with his current music. Ghostemane was introduced to rap music when he was the guitarist in the hardcore punk band Nemesis. A bandmate introduced him to Memphis rap, a genre that his current style feeds from.
[Verse 1]
I think I was born in the wrong generation
Nobody talks to me, nobody is relating
Am I so invisible, or am I so hated?
We swing our fists and kick our legs to know we're still breathin'
I know what it's like when you're all alone
Just look in my eyes, we are so alike
[Chorus]
Black blood
Black blood
[Verse 2]
They won't drag me to the ground
Up against the world
Fucked at birth
What's a life worth?
[Chorus]
Black blood
[Refrain]
You can kill me, but I'll never fucking die
[Interlude]
(Alright, go ahead)
