Lyrics Put Some Red On It - Spoek Mathambo

Red
Blood red
Red

The promise of 24 carat
Three dead baby, if you wanna be my baby

Put some red on that ring, put some red on that
Put some red on my bling, put some red on that
Put some red on that ring, put some red on that
Put some red on my bling, put some red on that
Red on that
Red on my ring (blood, blood)
Put some red on my ring (blood, blood)
Red on my ring (blood, blood)
Put some red on my ring (blood red)
Red on that

Play me some Tupac, I'll get in your ride
Snorting gunpowder and drinking cane wine

Your mama belly gutted hollow, flies fill her up
Her lips blood-stained, throat raw from throwing up
You see her crawling and you laugh at how bowed she is
Her fat legs wobble under weight of dumb pup kids
Your papa head full of precious stones and oil well
His greedy fingers dig for booga-booga in the cell
Ashy old shit, crusty nappy old fool
Learned the slick-tongue trick from the mission school

[?] shit, learn to live to love the stink
Mama castrate the pimp to her own pink
Legs thrown apart, empty while she warms a smile
Bright scattering light, bloom in this woman is
The unflinching make her feel like the tomb she is
Boom, it is the bomb, when the [?] this song
And we dance around the dead, drunk on freedom as a con

Put some red on that ring, put some red on that
Put some red on my bling, put some red on that
Put some red on that ring, put some red on that
Put some red on my bling, put some red on that
Red on that
Red on my ring (blood, blood)
Put some red on my ring (blood, blood)
Red on my ring (blood, blood)
Put some red on my ring (blood red)
Red on that

You're making me a promise, 360 round my finger
You're a hunter-gatherer, you've been to the Congo
Picked it with a warlord in Sierra Leone
To me you're worth a [?], just ninety [?]

Yeah, I see your shining star, your red-stained shimmer
Made so sharp that you cut the win out the winner
Cut so perfect, stars still linger
They say you are forever, once you see your little finger

Red
Blood red
Red
