B.O.T.D. BloodLust

BLOOD LUST [INTRO — LOW / CONTROLLED] Yeah... I don't want blood I want proof I want every doubt dead in the room Codiak... Let it breathe [VERSE 1] I got that blood lust, hunger in my rib cage Mind like a switchblade, sharpened by the mistakes Came from the dead space, built in the earthquake Now every step I take make the whole damn floor shake I don't need a crown, I need a reason I don't chase clout, I hunt demons They want the old me, tell 'em keep dreamin' I turned every scar into ammunition Pressure made diamonds, pain made vision Dark nights taught me perfect precision I was down bad, still made decisions Now I'm too locked in to ask for permission I got a war in my head but I'm calm when I enter Cold blood, hot pen, every bar gettin' denser They keep lookin' for the old me — wrong agenda I came back twice as sharp and twice as relentless [HOOK] Blood lust, blood lust I can feel that hunger when the beat rush No trust, no brakes I been buildin' this machine from the mistakes Blood lust, blood lust Every setback only made me dangerous Stand up, wake up If they thought I was finished, better wait up [VERSE 2] I don't need validation, I need elevation Turn frustration into pure concentration Every limitation became motivation Now I'm rearrangin' the entire equation I been in the basement with a head full of thunder Everybody slept, I was schemin' under Now I make pressure sound like percussion Turn one little spark to a whole damn eruption Look— I don't talk about the climb, I climbed I don't talk about the grind, I grind I don't need somebody else's shine When I got a whole damn galaxy inside my mind Time told me patience Pain taught persistence Fear showed up — I treated fear like a witness Now every contradiction only sharpened my vision I don't need revenge when success is the sentence [HOOK] Blood lust, blood lust I can feel that hunger when the beat rush No trust, no brakes I been buildin' this machine from the mistakes Blood lust, blood lust Every setback only made me dangerous Stand up, wake up If they thought I was finished, better wait up [VERSE 3 — DOUBLE-TIME / 164 BPM ATTACK] Now I'm back with a vengeance, relentless intentions My pen got a pulse and the rhythm's infectious I step in the session, immediately reckless Turn tension to tension, then tension to excellence No hesitation, I'm breaking the ceiling No imitation, I'm making the feeling No explanation for what I've been building You either can see it or stay in your feelings I came from the silence with violence in spirit Not violence with bodies — I'm talking ambition I'm killing the limits, I'm killing the timid I'm killing the version of me that was living diminished So give me that beat Give me that bass Give me that moment where pressure gets placed I'm coming for everything fear ever chased And leaving my name where the doubt used to stay [OUTRO — HALF-TIME FEEL] Blood lust... Not for blood. For life. For everything they said I couldn't become. Codiak... Creator.
