Barely Surviving (Ride Or Die)

[Verse 1: Monoxide] Can't get a job anymore cuz I'm a gangbanging Juggalo According to the cop's report Just wanted in and out of this store Had to return couple of things I've purchased from there before Clerk giving me hard time like I committed a crime Onto the line Hand 'em the proof of the purchase But the kid won't tell and the manager laughs And I'm a thief and I stole it Receipt and I showed it Went down to a deeper emotion To keep me from going up out of my mind So I decided to leave 'em behind But when I try, police have arrived I'm leaving outside like "wonderful guy" Put in a rack and I'm riding I'm thinkin' that "this is the way that I'm treated" I cannot believe it, I'm humble but weakened Sitting inside a precinct Finally I can see them, talking and kinda kickin' Speaking about my tattoos, classified as a cashew-I'm nutty Cuz a I'm a Juggalo, gang member and bloody The main center arrived "Brought you here to let you know: it's nothing more than a factor, you being a Juggalo" [Hook: Twiztid] Life has a weight trying to wear me down And it gets worse every time I turn around (They keep me treating like nothing I feel like I'm drowning and I'm barely surviving) I don't like the way the world looks right now Wanna leave it all behind but I don't know how ([?] and down And I'm just hoping that one day I can figure it out) [Verse 2: Jamie Madrox] Fuck their opinions and oversights of our living I'm hoping amongst the hatred we find some sense of forgiving I’m hoping that just by taking the first steps of living, we’re reshaping what was deformed at birth, a new beginning, so singing the song of us sinners So many y'all know the words When they tryna to be overly righteous, that's feeling absurd Man I'm so tired of all this fighting, shit is wearing me down To the point I no longer care for "hi"/"hey" out of their mouth I'm depressed on the verge of giving up, but I know no cred I'm just blowing up something lost in the moment and talking shit I wanna leave it all behind, but in my mind all I find That I'm alive, and that that means I'm more insane over time Serpent sign, but I'm outta time as they keep passing me by Say they don't want my head and my hands emotionally tired If they die another day put my hands together and pray There he don't give me nothing I can't handle, please take it away Give me strength for goodness' sake to Take the lack of tears and swallowin' fears And the power to move minds, put me on the level ahead [Hook: Twiztid] Life has a way trying to wear me down And it gets worse every time I turn around (They keep me treating like nothing I feel like I'm drowning and I'm barely surviving) I don't like the way the world looks right now Wanna leave it all behind but I don't know how ([?] and down And I'm just hoping that one day I can figure it out) .... [Verse 3: Monoxide] Heavenly father, I'm down on my knees Thinking "why even bother?" Can't change what they think, stalking above them I'm alone as I can be and I feel like hostage To everything you believe [Verse 4: Jamie Madrox] Anger always seems to get me down I just can't take it any longer Life keeps on pausing and insanity's calling And reality falling away from me Can somebody help me? Say a prayer, whoever cares, and kill me You got the weight of the World on your shoulders And you ready to ride or die Don't let anybody convince you how you live it or how you're living your life You got the weight of the World on your shoulders And you ready to ride or die Don't let anybody convince you how you live it or how you're living your life You got the weight of the World on your shoulders And you ready to ride or die Don't let anybody convince you how you live it or how you're living your life You got the weight of the World on your shoulders And you ready to ride or die Don't let anybody convince you how you live it or how you're living your life You got the weight of the World on your shoulders And you ready to ride or die Don't let anybody convince you how you live it or how you're living your life
