Influenciados por bandas como Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Alice in Chains, Marilyn Manson y Faith No More, Extinción logró crear un sonido, propio y distintivo, siendo considerados como la mejor banda “pesada” de Centroamérica de la década de los 90's. Habiendo realizado ciertas producciones anteriores y experimentos bajo distintas alineaciones, Extinción logra su despegue con el lanzamiento de su álbum titulado “Orange Buddha”, una producción con temas de la autoría de todos sus integrantes originales. Posteriormente Extinción graba tres producciones más, Manyula en 1998, Encuentro Acústico en 1999 y finalmente Chichikaste en el 2001.

E.X.T.I.N.C.I.O.N. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got reasons to die
I got way too much pride
All I know is pain
And that's that shit you see in my eyes
I got drugs to get high
And sell my love for the low
I'm just tryna survive
Will I die? I don't know

Ain't nobody give a fuck
Out here and drowning
From sounding broken while baggin' up
Ounces tucked in my jacket pockets bro
I was tryna live it up
Bottles and bitches
OG in hollowed out Swishers
I wanted low-lows, hittin' switches
Woah, woah
Ain't nobody give a fuck
Stack on my lonely
Push pack on my lonely
Then watched you turn your back on me homie
Oh no
I was tryna live it up
Can't trust nobody
No bitch, my wrist could be rocky
Drug trip to spin a Ferrari
Go slow
Couple niggas I coulda been better without
Reinventin' the game while the Sega was out
Blowing the cartridge means lead in the mouth
I'm player too, leave you dead with your spouse
(Haha)
I don't call it a hoe when it's veteran mouth
I don't call it a trap it's a medicine house
Even when I ain't on point
I got a nigga who could move a Mt. Everest south
Nigga that's word to Zaelito
I'm goin' cray as I ride with the K, Rico
Sippin' Rica it's better than Tampico
Gettin' greasy yo, should be sippin' on Pinot
I got a bitch acting childish, Gambino
Damn Gina
I been that nigga that serve at the cantina
Since PSP demo, Coheed & Cambria
I kinda feel like them niggas just can't see us
I know you probably think that
You could come and ride this wave
You never been Kelly Slater
I don't have time for games
I know that you would be content
To hear I died in vain
That's why I got way too much pride
To fucking tuck my chain
I got reasons to die
I got way too much pride
All I know is pain
And that's that shit you see in my eyes
I got drugs to get high
And sell my love for the low
I'm just tryna survive
Will I die? I don't know
Ain't nobody give a fuck
Stack on my lonely
Push pack on my lonely
Then watched you turn your back on me homie
Oh no
I was tryna live it up
Can't trust nobody
No bitch, my wrist could be rocky

Drug trip to spin a Ferrari
Go slow
