Bleed is a scathing critique of capitalism and hustle culture. It talks about how detrimental the culture can be to people’s physical and mental health, even driving some to suicide.
[Verse 1]
(You're worthless) Baby, you ain't smiling
Have you tried typing 'til the blisters on your fingertips burst?
Napalm to asylum, barren wombs are cut out of the stomachs, don't mix living up with worth
I was up grinding, you were busy finding love
Don't have time for crying during business hours
You wasting seconds just to waste away
You wasting seconds just to waste away
[Hook]
Dizzy ‘til I'm sickened to my stomach by the cityscape
Yeah, I feel important toiling overtime for pity pay
N*ggas are just slipping off of buildings for a quick escape
Don't worry ‘bout the worry lines and bullet holes in pretty face
Dizzy ‘til I'm sickened to my stomach by the cityscape
Yeah, I feel important toiling overtimе for pity pay
So what you slipping in and out of consciousness? You still awake
Bleed until your spirit breaks
Bleed until your spirit brеaks
[Verse 2]
Prove you have use to the man
What you do to earn the food in your hand?

Don't I look cute in a casket?
Jewel-studded tombs in the sand
The blood that I drew's for the bank
Yeah, the blood that I drew's for the bank
You should follow suit and buy a suit and tie
Who knew office cubicles were so well suited for a suicide?
Haven't shut my eyes in over three days
And it feels great, feels great
[Hook]
Dizzy ‘til I'm sickened to my stomach by the cityscape
Yeah, I feel important toiling overtime for pity pay
N*ggas are just slipping off of buildings for a quick escape
Don't worry ‘bout the worry lines and bullet holes in pretty face
Dizzy ‘til I'm sickened to my stomach by the cityscape
Yeah, I feel important toiling overtime for pity pay
So what you slipping in and out of consciousness? You still awake
Bleed until your sp— (Today unused is lost)
[Outro]
Oh my, oh well, is this all I am?
Oh my, oh well, oh my oh well
Oh my, oh well, is this all I am?
Oh my, oh well, oh my
