Bloodshot from Unlearn by Youngblood Brass Band

I get down frequently like narcoleptic eyelids
Youngblood horticulture with, um, music hybrids
This rhyme is making sky high kids YB-or-die kids
Know the power of a question but don't ask what the time is
Call me Sure Shot no need to pack a gun
So much fire in these arms when I drum you see the sun
Second to none when it become time to ignite
Never pick a fight but always ready to battle with the mic
As a sprite I was bright despite slight height
I don't indict know wrong from right take flight through mental might
Not trite I can't bite incite fright with the light
My eyes focus so much cats call me four-sight
I write my rhymes in red the universal color
Youngblood keep flowing til I die ascend or other
Damn straight I love my mother and these YB-boy brothers
Connecting through music microphone horn or drummer
One night I'm kicking it backstage after a show
rapping with this cat about how far it could go
we both agreed that this music isn't about the dough
then he turned to me and said 'Yo, you do blow?'
I'm like whoa slow down hell no
He's like 'You don't know kid, I gotta go kid'
I almost jumped up and kicked this sucker in the chest
Talking like I'm not the best because I could pass a blood test
My nose don't bleed even when I sneeze I spit more info
Than a row of asthmatics reciting Co-Flow
I get down instead of high thus my consciousness rose
I'm bold like a man selling snow to eskimos
Listen up because I don't talk through my nose
We gonna make this world right for unborn embryos
Fortunately there's cats like me Kweli and Mos
Focusing on educating instead of hating our foes
With the competition wishing they were deep sea fishing
Dropping lines so hard to grasp octopi on mission
Defeat those machismo egos split 'em up like fission
Imprison YB foes and give my prose pole position
I'm a musician it's my life and what keeps me sane
Catch me checking Chopin Branford and Tain or Coltrane
We gotta master ourselves y'all there's no one else to blame
Birth to death and back Youngblood keep flowing through my veins
