Story behind the song
The lyric is about 15-20 years old. Musta been going through something! It's out of my system now. I rarely wanna kill the whole darn world.
Lyrics
Living Life Under The Whip Somedays I feel so angry, I wanna kill the whole darn world Somedays I just feel ashamed and disgusted with myself Who the hell sentenced me to live my life down here? Who gave themselves the key to lock me in with fear? But I keep my thinking to myself It never does no good And when I see that whip hand move, I work real hard and I work real good I used to love a woman with a fire hell couldn’t contain But fighting for love in so much hate only causes more pain how the hell are you s’posed to love, when it’s hard just trying to survive? What the heck are you s’posed to do, living half alive? I’ve been angry too long, I’ve been hungry too often I don’t forgive easy and my anger won’t soften Till I’m holding the whip I see some men in so much pain, I almost stop to help Somedays things seem so bad I just wanna kill myself “Keep walking” is the stock reply, that’s what they all say, I’m sick and tired of spending life turning my back away You learn to keep your mouth shut Learn it isn’t smart When the whip hand moves you give up, looking for something to start
