Song Meanings
In Cold Blood
- Is all about a gang-banger's life in tragedy. It started out at the corner doing small time gambling to smoking illegal drugs like marijuana. He became an enemy of another gang banger. The gang banger's life ended when he was shoot, family grieving from their loved one's mortality, and everything became a tragedy. -- Ericgo 04:45, 6 February 2007 (PST)
