It's in My Blood

Woo
Woo

They ask why I look like a thug
And why do I hang with the thugs
I tell them it's all in my nature (my nature)
I tell them it's all in my blood

I had to get it out the mud
There were times I got stuck
Alcohol and drugs
I got it all in my blood
It's in my blood

Fast cars, big trucks
Mama said "Live it up"
Everything's deluxe
It's in my blood

My grandma had nothin'
The old days life was rough
That what made us so tough
It's in my blood

My Uncle Johnny was the plug
My Auntie Bug show love
I growed up with my cous'
We growed up we had nothing
But had to turn to something
It's been a long time coming
But a change has come

And I'm just trying to get a slice
Everybody wants something nice
I remember those cold nights
That's why I rock a whole lot of ice
Nightlife I'ma shine bright like a night light
Disrespect, then it's night-night
Two wrongs get a strong right
I had to fight my whole life

It's in my blood that flows through my veins
Sex, money, power, in my DNA
Money long like the interstate
She gon' take me home when I'm in her state

It's Erb the great
I'm so proud everyday I celebrate
Smoking on that loud
Man I swear I can't hear the hate

Can't fake real but be real fake
Erb can give and Erb can take
I used to steal but now I pray
That nobody steal money out my safe

I really ain't got too much to say
But stay away from these rats and snakes
I'm grinding, they in my way
I'm shining, they throwing shade

They ask why I look like a thug
And why do I hang with the thugs
I tell them it's all in my nature (my nature)
I tell them it's all in my blood

I had to get it out the mud
There were times I got stuck
Alcohol and drugs
I got it all in my blood
It's in my blood

Fast cars, big trucks
Mama said "Live it up"
Everything's deluxe
It's in my blood

My grandma had nothin'
The old days life was rough
That what made us so tough

I keep it real like Uncle Neal
I ain't a killer but I will kill
I have a thrill to pull out the steel
Bullet hit your limbs make you windmill
We run this like a treadmill

Got kinfolks out in Fayetteville
That I never met
But I bet they living like how I live
I found light over that dark hill
I can do anything if it's God's will (God's will)

I'ma build a realm, keep eating meals
Until I feel my life fulfilled
Shout out to Uncle Fred and Cliff
I ain't seen them two guys in years
It's been so long since I've been homes
But it's good to know that I'm still here

My Aunty Cathy is always happy
My granddaddy, he was a savage (he was)
You nobody till somebody love you
Ain't nobody less you got family

That's word to my lil' brother
Different dad, same mother
Different hustle but the same struggles
If we didn't had nothing, we had each other
Young thug that always got in trouble

Life was rough that what made us tougher
It's in my blood to rise up (rise up)
To the uppermost and remain humble
Blood is thicker than water
Don't trust you if you wouldn't with me in the jungle
I am a man of honor
What don't kills me
Would make me stronger

They ask why I look like a thug
And why do I hang with the thugs
I tell them it's all in my nature (my nature)
I tell them it's all in my blood

I had to get it out the mud
There were times I got stuck
Alcohol and drugs
I got it all in my blood
It's in my blood

Fast cars, big trucks
Mama said "Live it up"
Everything's deluxe
It's in my blood

My grandma had nothin'
The old days life was rough
That what made us so tough
It's in my blood
