Reckless
Seth Anthony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I′m ridin' dirty down 95 with a bottle of shine, ya
Cuz I′m so gone, my mind is so gone, Im' livin' reckless
Southbound blowin′ Mary Jane, a buck 30 in the fast lane
Cuz I′m so gone, man I'm so gone, I′m livin' reckless

Woke up, sh*t I′m in a bad mood
I don't know why but I feel like Ima snap soon
Tired of getting judged from the bullshit that I been through

I changed my life but still remind me I′m a bad dude
Broken man, that's my excuse
My soul is damaged from the drug abuse
Work paycheck to paycheck, guess it ain't my time yet
Momma didn′t raise a quitter so time to get these boots wet
I didn′t come this far to only come this far
I'm still battling demons that′s why I got these scars
Love the struggle it only makes you stronger
Been out in the rain but heads under water
Rather eat crumbs with bums than eat steaks with snakes
Real eyes realize that people are fake
A real man is defined by his mistakes
Full throttle to the end so I'm cutting the brakes

I′m ridin' dirty down 95 with a bottle of shine, ya
Cuz I′m so gone, my mind is so gone, Im' livin' reckless
Southbound blowin′ Mary Jane, a buck 30 in the fast lane
Cuz I′m so gone, man I'm so gone, I′m livin' reckless

Was born to be real wasn′t born to be perfect
Girl poor as hell eating mayonnaise sandwiches
Momma did good though through them circumstances
Taught me how to be a man because my father was absent
I never look back with no disregard
I wouldn't change a thing, we are who we are
Take a look around man see the world is crumbling
See I been to Hell so I know what′s coming
Better stand for something or you fall for nothing
The world is tripping, the Left is fumbling
Right is right, that's why we call it
Even broken crayons still have a color
White or Black I still call you Brother
Open your eyes they're taking freedom from us
I ain′t never backed down, I ain′t never starting
To earn this spot, you gotta take it from us

I'm ridin′ dirty down 95 with a bottle of shine, ya
Cuz I'm so gone (Cuz I′m so gone),
My mind is so gone (Cuz I'm so gone), Im′ livin' reckless
Southbound blowin' Mary Jane, a buck 30 in the fast lane
Cuz I′m so gone (Cuz I′m so gone),
Man I'm so gone (Cuz I′m so gone), I'm livin′ reckless

(I'm livin′ reckless)
