Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch the bullets fly by me
as you get your drugs for your disease
Livin' on a bloody street
Watch the bullets fly by me
as you get your drugs for your disease
No one likes us 'cause were fuckin' proud - yeah
Feel that hatred deep inside your bones
Better start a runnin' if your gonna get down with it
We dont need another kiss-ass full of bullshit
Better start a runnin' if your gonna get down with it
'cause were hard
We don't need another kiss-ass full of bullshit
or ya just might end up with a busted lip
Better see a doctor make sure your down with it
in your fuckin' heart
Is it in your fuckin' heart?
Why why why
Why why why
Where I grew up
you stupid punk
Where you threw up
'cause you were so scared
Where I grew up
you stupid punk
Where you threw up
'cause you were so scared
Where I grew up
you stupid punk
Where you threw up
'cause you were so scared
Got another busted lip
livin' in the gravel pit
The more hate that I feel for you will help me knock
you the fuck out
you the fuck out
you the fuck out
Know your power when you're livin' on a bloody street
Watch the bullets fly right by me
My blood is tuff from the gravel...
My blood is tuff from the gravel...
Come on, come on, come on and get me
Get another kick right to the knee
My blood is tuff from the gravel pit
Yeah, we'll always stick together -
'cause were hard
Fighting like a bunch of pitbulls -
in your yard
Livin' in the gravel pit
Livin' on a bloody street
Watch the bullets fly by me
as you get your drugs for your disease
Livin' on a bloody street
Watch the bullets fly by me
as you get your drugs for your disease
The lyrics of Assjack's "Gravel Pit" depicts a rough and tough life in a dangerous neighborhood where bullets constantly fly by and drugs are easily accessible to the people who suffer from diseases. It talks about the experience of growing up in an area where people are hated for the way they are proud of their hometown. The lyrics are mainly about the feelings of anger and hatred alongside the struggle to survive in an environment where one needs to be tough to thrive.
The song further emphasizes that if "you're gonna get down with it" then "better start running", suggesting that only the strong can make it in this area. Additionally, it highlights the importance of being true to oneself and rejecting society's norms. The song repeats the phrase, "Is it in your f*****g heart?" implying the question of whether one has the strength and ability to survive in such a community.
