DVRST Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fucking bitches, put them hoes into the ground
And no need to carpool help, cause ain′t no telephones around
Just stand fucking man, in your mustard fucking head
Lay em bodies down, Sippy D, underneath the ground
Where bugs
Young nigga creepin' through the neighborhood
Yes I got tha scope, but it won′t help yo mom smell good
9 millimeter, boy, 9 millimeter toy
Buck buck buck, buck buck buck
9 millimeter noise
You gon' hear the sound of my [?], buck, buck, buck
Leave you [?], killing like my [?], you [?] them, lucky fuck
You gon' hear the sound of my [?], buck, buck, buck
Leave you [?], killing like my [?], you [?] them, lucky fuck
You gon′ hear the
Crawl through the court, and they eat at you
Puttin′ 7 rounds, in yo dome, in yo [?] crew
Told you playas [?] you know, killa, I can see you, trick
Desecrate yo body, brutally, with the hollow tip
Ain't no open casket muthafucka blew yo face off
At the sawed off, ready now, let′s kick the shit off
You gon' hear the sound of my [?], buck, buck, buck
Leave you [?], killing like my [?], you [?] them, lucky fuck

Overall Meaning

It is important to note that the lyrics provided are highly explicit and may be offensive to some readers.


The lyrics of DVRST's "Reason to Live" paint a vivid picture of the violent and dangerous lifestyle of a young gang member. The language and imagery used are shockingly graphic and disturbing, with references to murder, rape, and other acts of violence. The repeated use of the phrase "buck buck buck" in reference to the sound of a gun firing only adds to the gruesome nature of the song.


The lines "Fucking bitches, put them hoes into the ground" and "Desecrate yo body, brutally, with the hollow tip" suggest a deep-seated misogyny and a complete lack of regard for human life. The references to "creeping through the neighborhood" with a 9 millimeter gun and a scope further emphasize the dangerous and paranoid mindset of the singer.


Throughout the song, there is a tone of both pride and despair. The singer takes pleasure in his violent actions and the power he wields, but also seems to be aware of the inevitable consequences of his lifestyle. The final repetition of the phrase "You gon' hear the sound of my [?], buck, buck, buck" almost seems like a taunt or a warning to anyone who would try to stop him.


Overall, "Reason to Live" is a disturbing portrait of a young man consumed by violence and hatred. While it may be difficult to listen to, it is an important reminder of the harsh realities faced by many in inner-city communities.

the fact that I can feel happiness and good things just by looking at these images and listening to this music, makes me think that despite everything, life is beautiful and even with the problems it's worth staying alive

@smi.ti1

Made me think about life and tears came to my eyes

@dashbolt101s

@@smi.ti1 Same, it gives me a feeling I can't describe. It's not happiness nor sadness, but a mix of both and sometimes makes me cry. It works better when I watch the clip - got the same feeling with the original Closed Eyes edit. It's a weird nostalgia about life - like feeling how much life is beautiful yet so short because of the quick edit, making us remember at the same time that nothing is everlasting. It's the saddest yet most forward-driving feeling, like a will to live. Really, I can't describe this feeling. 🤍
