You Are The Blood

[Introduction: Game] You are the blood flowing through my fingers All through the soil and up in those trees [Verse 1: Game] One-nine seven-nine, that was the year California would go blind My momma had a son, a fully automatic gun Eleven pounds, seven ounces, Compton, here we come My first night in the crib, I hear somebody screaming A couple gunshots, then some tires screeching My father reaching, what is he grabbing He rolled me over in my crib just to get his Magnum Is he a policeman, that's what I'm thinking He can't be that because he do heroin and he be drinking Chopping baby powder up on my momma's mirror Mexican chicks in my kitchen cooking, looking just like Shakira I'm in my high chair, they naked, this is rated R Think I ain't paying attention cause you slide me a Gerber jar Then my momma walked in with an orange box I couldn't read what it said cause she leaned over and said [Hook: Game] You are the blood flowing through my fingers And I can feel it in my heart My mom said it from the start That I would always be the reason blood's flowing All through the soil and up in those trees [Verse 2: Game] First day of kindergarten, shoestrings for a belt Mom's worked the graveyard, too tired so I dress myself Who go to school in a Freddy Krueger flannel Black Chuck Taylors and I never liked sandals A lot of birthdays but we ain't never light candles Gang of Christmas gifts but I ain't never seen Santa So I waited up one year, guess who to my garage My daddy with a Toys 'R' Us bag, hit the lights, aha! Uh-uh, I ain't going for that I've got presents, I can see them cause they ain't wrapped From a race track to a Dre track Don't wear overalls no more, but a nigga stay strapped The rumors around my middle school was that I can't rack It wasn't a locker in that motherfucker that I ain't paint black And now I'm doing donuts in this Maybach Reminiscing bout detention, teachers used to say that [Hook: Game] You are the blood flowing through my fingers And I can feel it in my heart My mom said it from the start That I would always be the reason blood's flowing All through the soil and up in those trees
