    It’s time to go all out
    Heed these words coming out my mouth
    I’ve held back for too long
    I’ve been feinin' to get this off my chest
    and say this out loud
    false messenger, false prophet
    You never suffered a day in your life
    You know you need to stop it
    You look good as a clone, man
    Live your own life and don’t pretend
    You don’t know what it’s like
    To get beat down and shit on by life
    I’ve seen it all before
    Yes blood, I’ve been through war
    Straight facts, no lies
    The truth is in my hungry eyes
    Let me tell you it’s not easy
    You better believe me
    This is real
    Well I know, well I know it’s hard sometimes
    You better believe me
    'Cause this is real
    Now this one goes out to the people who struggle through
    The ones that fight the odds and break the mold
    And put it all on the line just for survival
    'Cause you know what it’s like
    You’ve been through the same fight
    You know what it is to face the end
    But for all of you that try to pretend
    You don’t know what it’s like
    To get beat down and shit on by life
    I’ve seen it all before
    Yes blood, I’ve been through war
    Straight facts, no lies
    The truth is in my hungry eyes
    Let me tell you, it’s not easy
    You better believe me
    This is real
    Well I know, well I know it’s hard sometimes
    You better believe me
    'Cause this is real
    Sing it with me if you know it’s real
    Sing it with me if you feel it too
    You better believe me
    'Cause this is real
    With our backs against the wall, we stand tall
    With our backs against the wall, we stand tall
    We will stand tall
    With our backs against the wall, we stand tall
    We will stand tall
    Fucking hell, I’ve heard it over and over again
    How you’ve been through the struggle
    How you’ve been through the war
    But we know that’s a lie my friend
    Fall back with the hate that you’re spewing
    Forgive him father, cause’ he doesn’t know what he’s doing
    Life’s about survival, and we're survivors
    So don’t act like you’re the only one
    Let me tell you it’s not easy
    You better believe me
    This is real
    Well I know, well I know it’s hard sometimes
    You better believe me
    'Cause this is real
    Sing it with me if you know it’s real
    If you've been there, been through the pain
    Been through the hell, you know it’s real
    Sing it with me if you feel it too
    You better believe me cause this is real

    I always see that one group of people that comment "This sounds generic" and things like that...
    Let me remind you that this is just music, this isnt technology, this isnt medicine or anything like that, please erase the idea of every new band having to be groundbreaking to be good and just enjoy the music.

      TheHuricange when you order spaghetti at one restaurant, and then another, you don't want both to use the exact same ingredients in the same quantities. Give your band a little flavor. Although they don't really have a choice tbh. They're indentured servants right now

      +Woe Is Jake Metalcore can be original its a great genre, but there is no point to listening to the same shit over and over again though and thats exactly what this is....its literally only chugging, double bass, and power chords on the chorus with tons "woaahahhhhhahhhh *genric lyric* woooaahhhh". This shits like pancakes without syrup. The band your name is based off of is much better (but only there first album..lol).

      +xw〈3lf thats true. I mean I still like listening to "generic metalcore" or "generic anything" but the bands the bands that strive to get away from that easily become my favorite. These guy's new single? That shit is fire. This shit is gonna be lit af. I might get some hate but the new Issues album? That song Yung & Dum? That was fucking lit. Those dudes know how to mix genres. They were already pro at mixing Metalcore and Pop, but then they were like fuck it lets add a country sound to it by throwing some violins and a country singer in the mix. Good shit coming from those guys. Oh and yeah only the beginning of Woe Is Me was anything special. Once Tyler left it was just bleh.

      No this is not. This was written by Eric but due to these guys just wanting to go straight into touring and Eric not wanting that Eric left, before they made this song. So after Eric left they got this guy in and did the song without Eric. Watch Backwordz Be Great. It explains it all.

    An acoustic set this clean & good sounding is a showcase of true talent. These guys have an authentic sound that hooked me right from the start. This acoustic of "black" sounds amazing & shows the level of skill these guys have honed & refined in their years together. They continue to evolve & stay relevant. As of 2023, they sound better than ever. For all of you who haven't heard their newest release "Everything"... You need to! Check it out, & experience the inspiration that is Sevendust! Love & respect guys...👊🙏

    This track is like a mixture of swag snatching from the frontman of backwords and typical signed djent band formula. Like literally they found a lookalike for their former frontman and used his lyrics.
