Death Don't Want You
Dark Lotus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It ain't no place to be, trust me
And why is that you ask
Ain't no lights at the end
There's only darkness on my path
Tortured souls fill the realm I call home
Without the Reaper's guidance
To lead them out the dead zone
It's plain and clear
Don't spend eternity here
With others like them
Who took their own life out of fear
Why couldn't they just see that everybody's got a time?
Let the Reaper do his job, man
He's doing just fine

Death don't want me, life is all that I got
Keep me living even if I'm just a head in a box
Take me outdoors, feed me
Put tits in my face
There's enough reason for me to live in any case
Send me to prison, I'll start pimpin' faggots in there
Cripple my ass, I'm floating spinners on my power chair
I'm Violent J, I could never die anyway
Even when I'm gone all you gotta do is hit play
I'm Juggalotus

Death don't want you but the Lotus do
So bring the wicked shit, we gonna bring it too
We like 'Hey'
Lotus Song
We comin' your way
Lotus Song
Death don't want you when the rain is gone
But with your Lotus high, you know we all belong
We like 'Hey'
Lotus Song
We comin' your way
Lotus Song

I wouldn't change a thing, I'm cool with that
Death doesn't want me, so I'm here to relax
There's so many more in this world that feels the same way
Known as the Juggalos, representing family
Not afraid to die, cause death is afraid of us
We're meaner then the devil
But we're someone you can trust
We're used to being shut down
And pushed out the doorway
Death doesn't want us so we're fucking here to stay

You're way to fresh for death to want you,
with abilities and talents no one can ever come close to,
Suppose you don't lose,
Stay on track,
You don't know if you don't try,
Always remember that,
And remember this in my eyes we’re all the same,
You breathe, I breathe,
We both share the name,
Of a Juggalo respect that and cherish your pride,
Cause we family representin' all what’s alive,

Death don't want you but the Lotus do
So bring the wicked shit, we gonna bring it too
We like 'Hey' (Lotus up)
We comin' your way (Lotus up)
Death don't want you when the rain is gone
But with your Lotus high, you know we all belong
We like 'Hey' (Lotus up)
We comin' your way (Lotus up)

Hold up now and think about this shit,
Why the fuck death wanna pay you a visit,
I been waitin' 30 years and nothin',
So what makes you think you so special motha fucka,
I been knockin' on his forehead,
And peep this,
All that bitch did was bring me a gang of kids,
Maybe more people for later times,
But for now I know he don't wanna fuck with me and mines,

If I contemplated dying,
Then really I would be lying,
And trying to get to heaven is really another question,
I'm guessing another lesson,
And living ain't really needed,
But since I been getting weeded,
Defeated has been deleted,
I seen it but don't believe it,
My eyes just run and hide,
And at the same time they collide with the other side,
Bleeds pride and courage until the day that I die,
Now put your lotus in the motha fuckin' sky

Death don't want you but the Lotus do
So bring the wicked shit, we gonna bring it too
We like "Hey" (Lotus up)
We comin' your way (Lotus up)

Death don't want you when the rain is gone
But with your Lotus high, you know we all belong
We like 'Hey' (Lotus up)
We comin' your way (Lotus Song)

We got people to see
We got places to go




Death don't want no Juggalo
(Lotus up! Lotus up!)
