Buried Alive
Ryan Oakes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that lifeβ²s a bitch, I never been too scared to upset her
'Cause all the pain she gave me turned me to a national treasure
I went from being under the weather to taking over by storm
When I built a better version of me from all the pieces that tore
They tried to drown me under that pressure when I wouldn't conform
And when I rosΠ΅ from the grave a differΠ΅nt day a legend was born
Buried alive, donβ²t think that you wonβ²t see my face again
They always label me the underdog, somehow I'm still winninβ²
When they would stop to take a break I'd always break the speed limit
A bunch of copycats around me tryna go mock me and gimmick
Bitch, Iβ²ve been one of a kind, no matter what I cannot be mimicked
So get with it, I'm vicious, they can see the red in my vision
Superstition tells me that something deep inside of meβ²s wicked
Malicious people with twisted intentions always petition
[?] left me in better condition, I'm living
Now I'm back for my revenge, all the tables turned
Buried alive, donβ²t think that you wonβ²t see my face again
