Blood, Sweat, Tears

No, yeah I'll show them that I am left for somethin'
Knowin' that I wasn't put on Earth just for nothin'
So it'll help me to face my fears

Yeah
Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
I been here
I been doin' this for years

That blood (That)

Tears, I be drippin' that
Blood (That)
Sweat (That)
Tears, I be drippin' that (Yeah)
I been here (Yo)
I been doin' this for years

Uh, I never knew I had to leave that battlefield (Uh)
Just so I could know how the battle feel (Uh)
I'm in the States now, tell me why it haunt me still
Now I think I know just exactly how my father feel

Always on the road with a baby at home
And my momma saw a problem with no daddy at home
Girl, I'm tryna make this cut, and I'm makin' it flow
But I'm losing my blood, stepfather, glucose

I was all about my craft, and the stacks, and the raps (Uh)
Slowly getting moved, getting pushed to the back
This cannot be for me and my seed
I can't forget why I do this, IV (IV)

For my family, and that's what really matters (Yup)
They my blood, I can't see me sellin' plasma
So I'm speakin' off in over beats, it's speakers knockin'
I am double helix climbin', it is in my hemoglobin, that

Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
I been here
I been doin' this for years

Tears, I be drippin' that
Blood (That)
Sweat (That)
Tears, I be drippin' that
Blood (That)
Sweat (That)
Tears, I be drippin' that
I been here
I been doin' this for years (Yo)

Yeah, and this my occupation (Hah)
They wanna see me lose my concentration
When I'm close to faintin', I hearin' them all sayin'
"You close to desperation", I'm hearin' my conscious say (What)
"You been waitin' on the stables just for play up on these tables
Bustin' all these thugs, just to bust up on these scrubs" (Yeah)
Rush of all that gust, way too far you've done come
No, I'm never givin' up, I ain't doin' this for nothing

Naw, I've spent a year on that continent
Tryna pay bills, pay mine, and my momma rent
Food for my daughter been when she reachin' over papa crib
How can I thrive when my mind's on that dollar bill? (Dollar bill)

Uh, do I want it or not?
Yeah, a brother want to be the one at the top
No second hands for mine, I got no time to talk
No, I gotta beat time, so I'm punchin' the clock spillin'

Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
I been here
I been doin' this for years

That blood (That)
Sweat (That)
Tears, I be drippin' that
Blood (That)
Sweat (That)
Tears, I be drippin' that
Blood (That)
Sweat (That)
Tears, I be drippin' that (Yo)
I been here (Uh)
I been doin' this for years (Check)

That blood, that sweat, them tears (Them tears)
I've heard, I've felt, I've feared (I've feared)
That life, that death, that spear (That spear)
Helps me to face my fears

Bottled up and hidden from a commoner's eye vision
But it's secretly imprisoned by the bars that I am grippin'
They shot at him, still missed him
Came out of it, still livin'
To honor all of my brothers and sisters who ain't livin'

Yeah, I know I got a purpose
Now I know my worth is
More that's on the surface
Represent for mine now
All of 'em who went out
Solo terrorist ever drift over your house

Uh, and I surely can't cry now
No time to weep, 'cause the will done dried out
God, I love my senses, and I got no time for wishin'
This my message, so just listen
Just know that this always written with

Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
Blood, sweat, tears
I be drippin' that
I been here
I been doin' this for years

That blood (That)
Sweat (That)
Tears, I be drippin' that
Blood (That)
Sweat (That)
Tears, I be drippin' that
Blood (That)
Sweat (That)
Tears, I be drippin' that
I been here
I been doin' this for years
