hate will never win
XXXTENTACION Lyrics

But a very important one
And it was scheduled to talk about the great things
That we're doing with the secretary on the veterans administration
And we will talk about that very much so in a little while
But I thought I should put out a comment as to what's going on in Charlottesville
So, again, I want to thank everybody for being here, in particular I want to thank—

Mind me while I sit and pretend to make amends
With all these false laws and menacin' men
Will fuckin' swallow you

I'll follow you down road
To this broken-hearted love for you
My heart has gone as still as a corpse

Never mind me while I sit and pretend to make amends
With all these false laws and menacin' men
Will fuckin' swallow you
I'll follow you down road
To this broken-hearted love for you
My heart has gone as still as a corpse

Why the fuck should I apologize?
Country's orderless, it's a lie
By these fuckin' government scumbag dick suckers with ties (great people, they're great people)
Wanna fight for my future, it's right in my hands
And the future of many youth if I play my cards can advance
And genuine dime, I opened my mind
Where can I find this future?
Sever your mind and you will be blind
And trapped in a mind that flies within our walls
I'm feelin' like my mind within a war between myself
Between this slavery of media, it's poor presentation (violence on many sides)
The youth within our nation
Such is a pity, dependin' on people resemblin' Bible Satan, uh
Set 'em up off and wet 'em up off like it's PlayStation, uh
Open up your minds and come together as a nation, why?
Why? (this has been going on for a long, long time)
Why? (It has no place in America)
Why? (what is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives)
(No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society)
(And no child should ever be afraid to go outside and play)

Read Full BioJahseh Dwayne Onfroy (January 23, 1998 – June 18, 2018), better known by his stage name XXXTentacion, was an American rapper from Lauderhill, Florida. Onfroy was known for his versatility with his music, which ranges from aggressive, punk rock-inspired hip hop, to somber and slower R&B style songs, to even heavy metal. His music is known for the lofi sound quality of his vocals and songs, which normally are distorted and unmastered. His vocal style ranged from singing, rapping, and screaming. Onfroy was also known for his violent outbursts in public life, with numerous arrests related to assault, robbery, and weapon possession.

Onfroy's most popular song to-date is Look at Me, which was originally released in 2016 and re-released in 2017, and peaked at number 42 on US Billboard Hot 100. The single helped him gain more popularity in early 2017 due to accusations of Canadian rapper Drake using a similar rap flow in his then unreleased song, now released under the name "KMT", that he previewed at a concert in Amsterdam featuring British rapper Giggs.

In July 2016, Onfroy was arrested and charged with robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. After posting bail in early October of the same year, while awaiting trial, Onfroy was arrested again later that month on charges of false imprisonment, witness tampering, and aggravated battery of a pregnant victim. Onfroy was released from jail on bail on March 26, 2017.

Onfroy announced his debut studio album, 17 on July 30, 2017. The album released on August 25, 2017. It features 11 tracks and includes the lead single Revenge.

Onfroy was shot and killed on June 18, 2018, in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
