[Intro]
Man (Blood red), this is it (Divine Bars, stupid)
This is what they’ve been waitin' for baby
This is what they’ve been waitin' for
They’ve been waitin' for the dog to scratch
They’ve been waitin' for the dog to scratch (Blood red)
Already got Grand Champ status
Tell me how they feel about this? Rrr
[Verse 1]
All I see red, blood red (Blood red)
Fuck that nigga said? One, dead
Gun to the head, didn’t run, instead
Washed my hands and face in his his bloodshed
Never had it all, I was born tormented
Fuck apologizin', if I said it, I meant it
If I don’t like you, fuck you, never pretendin’
Crashed, blew up and burned, that’s how it ended
Urban legend, I heard it mentioned
Dog is right at home in the dirt and trenches
My birth’s intentions, was first a sentence
Of life without parole for the worst offenses
Senseless slaughters, kicked open the door
And everybody gotta die, wives, sons and daughters
My orders were clear from the start
First, turn off the lights, then murder whatever moves in the dark, nigga, uh
[Chorus]
Blood red (Uh), blood red
Man, if they don’t know by now, they about to find out (Rrr)
Blood red (Uh), blood red (Uh)
How the dog get down, and what the dog is about (Oww)
[Verse 2]
Even though I know it is the truth (Man), you don’t mean it (Cuz)
You haven’t earned it (Cuz), you haven’t seen it (Cuz)
Nightmare, 'cause all you can do is dream it (Uh)
You run from it, I end up in between it (Yeah)
What was the first curse, turned into a blessing
What burned, as it was learned, turned into a weapon
Built for war, bitch ass nigga
That shit I’ma spit will get you killed through the door
Found ‘em on the floor, the fetal position
There is no 'or,' came here with leave ‘em intentions
Thought shit was funny, like shit you was sayin' was ill
Until you made that left turn, and shit got real
When it come to rap, you cats got it all wrong
Got bars for days, but can’t make a song
If you did half of what you said when you was flappin' your jaw
Push them bricks, fuck is you rappin' for, nigga?
[Chorus]
Blood red, blood red
Man, if they don’t know by now, they 'bout to find out (Uh)
Blood red, blood red
How the dog get down, and what the dog is about (Rrr), motherfucker
Blood red, blood red
If they don't know by now, they 'bout to find out
Blood red, blood red
How the dog get down and what dog's about, uh
Blood red, blood red
It wasn't, they not ready
They n-they not ready, they not ready
They not ready, they not ready, they not ready
Blood red, blood red
They not ready, they not ready, they not ready
They not ready, they not ready! C'mon, man
[Outro]
Uh (Blood red)
I'm not playin'
It is not a fuckin' game
