Lil Keek - Blood Money Lullaby Lyrics

[Intro]
Mama's voicemail haunting me again
Working double shifts, that's where it begins
Blood money keep us living day to day
Ain't no choice but hustle, that's the only way

[Verse 1]
Corner store transactions, late night moves
Mama in scrubs while I'm paying these dues
She save lives while I'm saving our life
Her overtime shifts cut deeper than knives
Streets taught me more than any classroom could
Making plays while she doing what she should
Both of us grinding, different kinds of pain
She don't know half the shit I do for this game

[Chorus]
Blood money lullaby, sing me to sleep
Counting dirty dollars while mama counting sheep
Blood money lullaby, that's all we know
She heal the sick while I'm putting on a show
Working night shifts, we both selling dreams
Nothing in this life as real as it seems

[Verse 2]
Hospital corridors, trap house halls
Same shit different day, we both taking calls
Mama's hands shaking from the coffee and stress
My hands steady counting what these streets possess
She think I'm working at that corner store
Truth is I'm moving product by the score
Both of us lying 'bout the things we do
Just trying to make it, push these demons through

[Bridge]
System got us both just trying to survive
Different kinds of hustles keeping us alive
Can't judge me mama, we both in too deep
Blood money lullaby, no time to weep

[Chorus]
Blood money lullaby, sing me to sleep
Counting dirty dollars while mama counting sheep
Blood money lullaby, that's all we know
She heal the sick while I'm putting on a show
Working night shifts, we both selling dreams
Nothing in this life as real as it seems

[Outro]
Sorry mama, this the only way
Blood money keep these bills at bay
Both of us surviving day by day
Till this blood money fade away
