Born to Be Wasted — Blood to Fire

Tim Barrus/ It took Konol and I eight months to construct Born to be Wasted — Blood to Fire. It represents many aspects to Konol’s existence living with HIV in Australia. No. No. Yes. Yes. From blood to fire. Show me your life.

Oh the beat’s gonna bash gonna break it up

This car’s goin’ fast gonna speed it up

The night’s not gonna last so let’s keep it up

We were born to be wasted

Oh the rock’s not gonna stop so let’s rip it up

The beats are gonna drop you can trip em’ up

Your mind is on fire but it’s not enough

We were born to be wasted

This gun’s blowin up it’s just a warning shot

This plane’s takin’ off on a terror run

This night’s gonna end like a missile drop

We were born to be wasted

Baby out loud

Knew that it would come to this

Ain’t worth livin’

If you can’t get your kicks

Australia

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
