Whether you love him or hate him, just like that of late music artists Tupac, Biggie, Aaliyah, Mac Dre, Juice Wrld, Left Eye, Mac Miller and more — his music left an impact. From his first commercial hit “Look At Me,” to one of his most famous songs, “SAD!,” we celebrate some of XXXTentacion’s most impactful lyrics. What are your favorites?
“Carry on, life flies, so just carry on \ With this pain inside of my chest \ Got no choice but to carry on.” -XXXTentacion, “Carry On”
“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.” -XXXTentacion, “hate will never win”
“Feel like I’m destined \ I don’t need no Smith & Wesson, no \ Boy, who you testin’? \ Fuck a Scantron, here’s your lesson.” -XXXTentacion, “Moonlight”
“Outside my misery, I think I’ll find \ A way of envisioning a better life \ For the rest of us, the rest of us \ There’s hope for the rest of us.” -XXXTentacion, “Hope”
“I’ve been up a very long time \ wonder why they hate on me \ I don’t wanna love myself \ I’m praying that they all love me \’Cause you don’t wanna, you don’t wanna…” -XXXTentacion, “I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore”
“I’m in pain, wanna put ten shots in my brain \ I’ve been trippin’ ’bout some things, can’t change \ Suicidal, same time I’m tame \ Picture this, in bed, get a phone call \ Girl that you fucked with killed herself \ That was this summer when nobody helped \ And ever since then, man, I hate myself.” -XXXTentacion, “Jocelyn Flores”
“I’m nauseous, I’m dyin’ \ (She ripped my heart right out) \Can’t find her, someone to— \ (My eyes are all cried out) \ Lost it, riots, gunfire inside my head, I’ve \ Lost it, riots, gunfire inside my head.” -XXXTentacion, “F**k Love”
“Travelin’ through the infinity, uh \ You not that nigga, pretend to be, uh \ All that bullshit do not get to me, uh \ I am a spirit, an entity, uh \ You just wan suck up my energy, uh \ I am the realest since Kennedy, uh \ You p—y ass niggas fuckin’ suck, you sound the same \ I spit the pain, that’s why these young niggas feel the same.” -XXXTentacion, “infinity (888)”
“I don’t understand this \ You’re changing, I can’t stand it \ My heart can’t take this damage \ And the way I feel, can’t stand it.” -XXXTentacion, “changes”
“Who am I? Someone that’s afraid to let go, uh \ You decide if you’re ever gonna let me know (Yeah) \ Suicide if you ever try to let go, uh \ I’m sad, I know, yeah, I’m sad, I know, yeah.” -XXXTentacion, “SAD!”
“Before I lay me down to sleep \ I pray the Lord my soul to keep \ I hope it’s not too late for me.” -XXXTentacion, “before I close my eyes”
Happy Birthday, Jahseh Onfroy!
