Blood Money

Blood money is just the price you're willing to pay to make the ultimate sacrifice
the price you'll take for selling your soul, the price you name to take a life
and most of the time you'll think it's the deal of your life, and yeah! you should've declined!
instead you'll find, you already lost the second you signed the dotted line
cuz the Devil and his minions own the riches in this society
and they never give them away for free, there's always a catch and the second you think
you've finally paid your dues, they'll come around demanding sacrifices
bribing you to comply, reminding you of the price if you choose defiance
now you're stuck in a bind, you think of your family's safety so you comply
and when the time arrives, you go with their plan and somebody dies
you try to drink away the guilt, you can't even look your wife in the eyes
but she can read between the lines and see the crimes you're trying to hide
like the salary you take in order to stay as one of their soldiers
then you were ordered to assassinate the leader that fights these horrors
all life is precious but you see death as just a business
but when Judgement finally comes, how can you expect to be forgiven?

Chorus

Your obsession with power's made money your only master
buying the life of the world at the price of the Hereafter
choosing money over life, your fate has now been written
the day you leave the living the angels will get vengeance

For what price are you willing to sell your soul? I know that most will say a couple of million but no
I've seen it happen for less, cuz even the best can be blinded by their goals
selling themselves for petty change, pretty things and diamond rings
some will just for a shot at fame and others because they have bills to pay
like the lawyer taking a case whenever they know their opponent's innocent
or know their client's guilty yet they still continue defending him
or the doctor stopping your treatments cuz you cant afford the expenses
or the woman that sleeps with her landlord so her rent can get an extension
did I mention during the night she's selling body while she's stripping
to the customers that offer her a thousand to finally hit it
should've went to their wives and kids, instead they bought sex with no commitment
then the stripper spends 400 to abort their unborn children
then you're giving cash donations, guaranteeing her "right" to kill them
but refuse to spend a penny so that child can join the living
though all life is precious, some see death as just a business
but when Judgement finally comes, can you even be forgiven?

Chorus

The reason I hate money the most is cuz of the way it changes people
you can see it in their eyes whenever they're scheming, like they're demons
and if money is truly evil, then some people seem possessed
choosing money over their health, they literally work themselves to death
husbands fighting with their wives because of a mortgage or the evening
gown she bought while she was out cheating with a richer guy she was seeing
if your toddler breaks your tv, then you're seething so you beat him
choosing money over your families? you can replace it, what are you thinking?!
pushed your daughter to be a model so you can make some easy cash
pressuring her to show her body, hoping she gets a contract
money's turned you into trash, man some people truly disgust me
like the pimps and cartels selling sex slaves by the hundreds
or the churches giving out hush money to settle molesting charges
or the suicide bomber taking cash to be a martyr
look, all life is precious but sometimes I just don't get it
when Judgement finally comes are you even trying to be forgiven?

Chorus
