This is called My Blood, and I wanna explain one of the verses
-
It means a lot to me.
-
This song is... I guess you could wrap it up and say it's about family.
-
But more specifically; there's this story that
-
when I was younger I had some older cousins
-
that lived in Michigan,
-
and I always looked up to them because they were older and cooler.
-
And, umm...
-
there was this story where the, umm...
-
the younger brother (of my cousins)
-
was kind of a loud mouth, got into a lot of trouble,
-
very cocky.
-
And his older brother, who also played football with him, was much more quiet.
-
Didn't talk a lot.
-
And, it got to the point where...
-
the younger cousin was running his mouth so much...
-
the rival high school football team showed up to his house.
-
So in this song I talk about...
-
people at the end of your driveway, calling out your name.
-
It's in reference to the story because
-
what happened is
-
the older cousin, who was always very quiet, kept to himself...
-
No one knew that he was a black belt.
-
[laughs]
-
And he went on to the end of the driveway and he took care of business
-
And so, that story was stuck with me.
-
You know, defending your family, sticking up for them.
-
And, as I was writing this song, I was thinking about, if I were in that position...
-
if I had to go defend my family
-
I realized...
-
I would probably need a weapon, so I'm gon-
-
[laughs]
-
so I'm gonna introduce a bat into this story.
-
Because my soft hands probably wouldn't be able to punch anyone (?) in the face
-
When everyone
-
you thought you knew
-
deserts your fight,
-
I'll go with you.
-
You're facing down
-
a dark hall.
-
I'll grab my light
-
and go with you
-
I'll go with you,
-
I'll go with you,
-
I'll go with you.
-
Surrounded and
-
up against a wall
-
I'll shred them all,
-
and go with you.
-
When choices end,
-
you must defend.
-
I'll grab my bat,
-
and go with you,
-
I'll go with you,
-
I'll go with you,
-
I'll go with you, yeah.
-
Stay with me,
-
no.
-
You don't need to run, stay with me,
-
my blood.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Stay with me,
-
no.
-
You don't need to run, stay with me,
-
my blood.
-
If there comes a day
-
people posted up at the end of your driveway
-
they're calling for your head and they're calling for your name,
-
I'll bomb down on them, I'm coming through.
-
Do they know I was grown with you?
-
if they're here to smoke know I'll go with you.
-
Just keep it outside, keep it outside, yeah.
-
Stay with me, no.
-
You don't need to run, stay with me,
-
my blood.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Stay with me, no.
-
You don't need to run,
-
stay with me, my blood.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Oh, oh.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Oh, oh.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Oh, oh.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Oh, oh.
-
If you find yourself
-
in a lion's den,
-
I'll jump right in,
-
and pull my pin,
-
and go with you,
-
I'll go with you,
-
I'll go with you,
-
I'll go with you,
-
my blood I'll go with you.
-
Stay with me,
-
no.
-
You don't need to run,
-
stay with me, my blood.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Stay with me, no.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Stay with me, my blood.
-
You don't need to run.
-
stay with me, no.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Stay with me, no.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Stay with me, no.
-
You don't need to run.
-
Stay with me, my blood.
