In "Blood In, Blood Out," Yelawolf traces a wound passed from father to son. A boy prays under the moon for escape from violence and addiction, then grows into a man who repeats the absence, losing his own children to the same chase. The hook’s blood bond becomes a search for belonging that never lands. Even in an empty house, he spins the broken record, hoping love might return and make amends.
Blood In, Blood Out Lyrics by Yelawolf
I fell asleep under the moon outside that window in my room holding that crucifix, i pulled down off the wall
I prayed if God would take my mama and me somewhere safe that i could be i would never sin again at all
Must be my fault
Don’t know what i did to deserve his alcohol
And all the drugs that had you crying in the heart
Another man hit you again, i hate them all
I hate them all
I’m blood in, I’m blood out, I’m all out
Still looking for something
I’m blood in, I’m blood out, I’m all out
Still looking for someone
Now when i became a daddy i was just so proud and happy all i wanted was to give what i never had
But I raised a son that hates me and
I never seen my babies
I guess i’m more like my father than a dad
It must be my fault
Don’t know what they did to deserve my alcohol
I chased a dream and i chased the way they trust it all
I should have stayed, i should have played, i should have called
I should have called
I’m blood in, I’m blood out, I’m all out
Still looking for something
I’m blood in, I’m blood out, I’m all out
Still looking for someone
When I stopped looking for a father honestly i wasn’t bothered Started smoking marijuana on my own
I am just the son of Sheila, not the son of any leader
Cause i never felt the freedom of a home
Now this empty house that I live in Don’t hear me but still i pretend that you’ll come back someday and make amends
Maybe there’s someone to love you more than i could ever prove to i guess I’ll just let this broken record spin
I’m blood in, I’m blood out, I’m all out
Still looking for something
I’m blood in, I’m blood out, I’m all out
Still looking for someone
Oh, oh, oh, still looking for someone oh
Oh, oh, oh, still looking for someone oh
