	Story Behind the Song There was a need to say this, "People Died so I can rhyme, you think I'm gonna grab the mic and waste my nation's time". The immortal words of KRS-One from the BDP joint "We In There" off the Sex and Violence album stayed with me. Why has today's hip-hop music reduced itself to expressing such empty lyrics? I attempt to not answer the question but rather move onto raising the bar. Chuck D. of Public Enemy provided the choice words that inspired the title of the joint from the B-side cut "Mao Tse Tung" off the "What Kinda Power We Got" single off the Muse-Sick-N-Hour-Mess-Age album. Puttin' in Bloodwork like whut!
