I met these guys in October, very personable and cool people. I will be seeing them again in April. Dope has been one of my favorite bands since I was a kid. This is the title track from their new album, "Blood Money: Part 1."

Dope - Blood Money

(I play the cards I was given
I survive for a living
I get you high for a living
I watch you die for a living
Believe that)

Sixteen years of poisoned souls
Don't mean shit to me
Sixteen years of pain I've sold
Never meant shit to me

Death, drugs, guns, sluts
God damn all of us
Sex, drugs, blood, lust
God damn all of us

(Please, please, I'll do whatever you want...)

Blood, blood, blood, blood money
Blood, blood, blood, blood money
Blood, blood, blood, blood money
Blood, blood, blood, blood money

Spoon fed hate and countless scars
No regrets for me
The American states of blackened hearts
Got much respect for me

Death, drugs, guns, sluts
God damn all of us
Sex, drugs, blood, lust
God damn all of us

(Please, please, I'll do whatever you want...)

Blood, blood, blood, blood money
Blood, blood, blood, blood money
Blood, blood, blood, blood money
Blood, blood, blood, blood money

I play the cards I was given
I survive for a living
Get you high for a living
WATCH YOU DIE FOR A LIVING!

I never gave a fuck
And I'm not gonna
Start with YOU!

Death, drugs, guns, sluts
God damn all of us
Sex, drugs, blood, lust
God damn all of us

(Please, please, I'll do whatever you want...)

Blood, blood, blood, blood money
Blood, blood, blood, blood money
Blood, blood, blood, blood money
Blood, blood, blood, blood money

I play the cards I was given (I play the cards I was given)
I survive for a living (I survive for a living)
I get you high for a living (I get you high for a living)
I watch you die, watch you die for a living

No empathy
Not me
Everything's blood money
No sympathy
Not me
EVERYTHING'S BLOOD MONEY!

(I'm not just talking about about my life, I can't seem to get that through to you. I'm talking about God, the Devil, Hell, Heaven...do you understand!? FINALLY!?)
