Primer 55 was formed in 1997 by guitarist Bobby Burns and vocalist J-Sin. The two met when J-Sin's previous band was the opening act for Burns' previous band. Burns' heavy metal music influences and J-Sin's hip hop influences melded to create the band's rap rock sound. Bassist Mike "Jr." Christopher and drummer Josh McLane were then added to complete the line-up.
They made 2 albums before disbanding in 2003, then reforming in 2007 to make one more album that same year, before disbanding in 2015. In 2018, the lead singer Jason "J-Sin' Luttrell passed away. He was 40 years old.

Primer 55 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no matter how fucked up it gets
some people never question why
never did never never did
nobody wants to waste your time
nobody wants to hear you whine
make you feel like a piece of shit
never did never never did
(chorus)
don't fake it, gotta keep it real
don't censor the way you feel
nobody cares about us but us
all in the family
keep your head up, don't put it down
down sell out, just be yourself
nobody cares about us but us
all in the family
don't depend on noone but yourself
no matter how hard you want to
that way noone will ever let you down
never will never never will
don't waste another day
don't piss your life away
there's way too many running around
run around run run around
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
all up in your face, like whoa
think I?m playing? Well I don't think so
do you think I won't? Do you think I won?t?
Don't fuck with my life, don't spit in my eyes
don't swallow my pride, don't, don't
some people do what ever sells
that doesn't surprise me
so slit your throat or be yourself
gotta do what you gotta do
you get just what you see
no fake ass shit from me
there's way too many running around
run around run run around
