LYRICS:
On our knees we pray
As we waste away
And we dig our grave
Dead on arrival
I close my eyes and contemplate on why I choose to be great
I find myself tryin to escape from where I’m supposed to be safe
Or maybe I should pray like I’m supposed to be saved
Sometimes I feel like getting even but I choose to behave
I’m mentally locked in a prison and I need bail
But the internet will kill me quicker than the streets will
And if that shit doesn’t kill me than the police will
Or maybe all the refills on the E pills or the lean will
I wish I was more flourished, I wish I had more courage
I feel like there’s more purpose, or maybe it’s all worth it
I wanna keep on learning, but I couldn’t be more nervous
when I keep lookin for answers and I gotta keep on searchin
The tables keep on turnin
Tryin to call up to Jesus but the phone keep on ringin
I think I need more service, the calls seem more urgent
And all I see is more murders, the soldiers keep on servin
I wonder if it’s all worth it, I wonder
On our knees we pray
As we waste away
And we dig our grave
Dead on arrival
In this mess we made
Fill our lungs with hate
Just to numb the pain
Dead on arrival, Dead on arrival, Dead on arrival
I can't breathe
Got my head on the guillotine
Slipknot around my neck come and take a seat
Watch ‘em bury me down til I'm six feet deep in the underground
Dead is the land of the free
Don't give just take every time you need
Don't give just take though it's killin me
Don't give just take every time you need
Don't give just take
On our knees we pray
As we waste away
And we dig our grave
Dead on arrival
In this mess we made
Fill our lungs with hate
Just to numb the pain
Dead on arrival, Dead on arrival, Dead on arrival
I can't breathe
Am I not worth saving?
Am I not worth saving?
On our knees we pray
As we waste away
And we dig our grave
Dead on arrival
In this mess we made
Fill our lungs with hate
Just to numb the pain
Dead on arrival
Yea
Dead on arrival, Dead on arrival
(Dead) (Dead) (Dead) (Dead)

I've never been asked why I Prevail is my favorite band, but to save anyone the burden of doing so: I Prevail is my favorite band, of all time to come, because I connect with them. Their music has been a light in my times of darkness, they've been a fuel to my furnace, when I needed to let out anger properly. How do I feel connected? The themes I hear in their music, about certain mental issues, aggression from love in their song "Love Lust and Liars". These guys truly understand what half the world feels. And although humanity itself will never coexist to fix that, I Prevail does their best to not only help, but to entertain and speak out for others, through their music. No other band in this God created universe will ever connect into my heart and soul, better than I Prevail has. To see how far they've come, is no different than seeing family grow up. These young talented men are beyond deserving of the top charts. I'll see you men in Cincinnati in November.

Love this band for what they stand for, the talent obviously. I'd just like to say every music video they have put out on trauma, imo have been gold. Shout out to the producer for your hard work and dedication!! Glad Joyner was a part of this also, good collaboration!!

[@adrianluciano6082]

wayne dixon the band was part of the project not Joyner

[@waynedixon2464]

Isn't it an I prevail song featuring Joyner Lucas? Their the original artists of the song?!

[@katelynmoore3774]

This has been one of my favorites since the album was released, seeing the video and associating it with recent events is even more of a reason to love these guys. Eric and Bryan are such amazing vocalists and there is such emotion behind the music. It's truly wonderful.

[@apollodog2226]

Why am I just finding out Joyner did a song with I Prevail. Better late than never I guess

[@joshawablackburn7241]

The entire world needs to hear this song. We stand together we life together if not we die together we need to become one against the oppressive

[@infiniteasshole3358]

" we need to become one against the oppressive " This is the truth!!!

[@LouSassles]

That’s why race is always pushed about. The people together are more powerful than the people divided. There’s bigger evils that don’t want to see the people together.

[@megakazuya123]

The ones oppressing people are Democrats and the left. Specifically black democrats, I know first hand as a black conservative

[@joshawablackburn7241]

I love how everyone of I prevails music videos have just as much story as the songs

[@ONLYINOHIO--]

Fav I P song 100%

[@loveisloudermusicfan]

Trauma has been one of the albums that have hit me the hardest. I Prevail is never afraid to speak out and express what they’ve been dealing with which has helped me face what I have been dealing with too. They never disappoint!! Another job well done boys!!!

[@chuckydombroski]

Terrible song. Terrible band.

Horrible band lol so many better bands than this ironic shit 😂 Joyner the only reason I’m hearing this band again. Joyner the only reason this shit got plays 😭 even their instrumental is basic asf

[@talhaimran9588]

Chellapo Judging from this one song I’ve heard they were pretty decent. Besides how many more bands do u know that would even make a song like this

[@thebookofjordan]

Personally loved Lifelines! Reviewed this song in my channel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaeVdISwl9usd6M

[@iqbalmabbit]

I got goosebumps all over my body when he scream "I can't breathe" omg

[@KayosHybrid]

The editing for the guy getting shot at 2:31 is sick. The synch with the beginning of the riff and how sudden the explosive movement is makes it look horrific

[@BeeTeeDubz]

Every little detail of this video is so powerful and deep... The pain on the kid's face as he shoots his classmates is a really haunting detail. 3 years later and it doesn't really feel like anything is different. I hope this song isn't relevant for the unforeseeable future 😢

[@slagchester8258]

Joyner has come a long way since I’m Not Racist and still packs powerful messages along with incredible Story Tellers like I Prevail, much love and respect ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rsalinas432]

Joyner’s been killing it way before I’m not a racist. His story telling goes back to frozen, I’m sorry, etc.

[@heatherb.678]

Respect👊

[@farhandikamursyid1300]

Ross Capicchioni is still fire. It's actually his older song way before "Sorry". A really powerful storytelling about a crime story, told from two sides.

[@Khunny_Funt]

@@farhandikamursyid1300 absolutely. First time I heard Joyner was when he debuted into Atlantic records with happy birthday. Shit gave me chills for the whole song

[@samanthaburgess4828]

I've been listening to joyner since his first few songs he had posted on KZbin. I knew he would blow up once his music landed on the right ears. My favorite song to this day is Mansion. Not one I ever really hear anyone mention, but they should lol.

[@BluesBeta]

When he screams “I can’t breathe” it takes a whole new meaning but still fits flawlessly with the songs message.

[@SLiNCOrE]

This song always brings me to tears, because i can't understand how humanity could get so cruel and dumb ... Thank you guys for this "Mirror" of our society

[@donalddodge2949]

I wish Joyner had another verse, this song is absolutely amazing though

[@TheKarret]

Saaame He should maybe try to do something with Corey Taylor or something; that might be pretty cool.

[@nineteen96]

right

[@timothyalexanderlewis]

Joyner Lucas's career is so young but he is already a legend.

[@amaterasu9211]

Legend since im not racist

[@kazern95]

hiis career isnt young man you just fresh

[@timothyalexanderlewis]

​@@kazern95 I've heard most of his stuff. In my opinion, he really didn't start going mainstream until about 4 years ago when he released the mask off remix. 4 years may seem like a lot to some but to me, it's really not that long in the grand scheme of things. In those 4 years, he has managed to do more than a lot of other rappers. In 2017 he started remixing "mumble rappers" songs with one of the best flows in the industry. That same year he managed to make the song I'm not racist which made most people who watched it speechless. In 2018 he got a song with Eminem one of the greatest rappers of all time. In 2019 he got a song with Logic. In 2020 he managed to drop one of the best projects in years. He even made a song about his idol Will Smith and then Will hopped on the song. His career might be young but he has done so much with it.

[@roosterthingie4188]

It's too bad that good music will always get buried under crap. This song hasn't gotten the attention it deserves.

[@chanceaustin_]

Timing couldn’t be more perfect. What a world we’re in

[@joshfreeman5488]

1:04 "All I see is more murders, while the soldiers keep on serving.. and I wonder, is it all worth it". Deep, very deep. And no one has caught it yet or atleast not spoken on it. Man I'm Aussie, but the soldiers serving, fighting, sacrificing their all, to give us everything we have.. yet we're destroying our own lives, our own freedom and throwing away our own rights with all our senseless acts just spits in the face of every soldier fallen, or still serving. There's a big difference between being free, and being selfish.. and we often blur the lines. "Watch them bury me down, till I'm 6ft deep in the under ground, dead is the land of the free" Most powerful lyrics going around, alive we are never free. Especially while we continue to do what we do.

[@kaitlintart7745]

This is powerful. This may cause shell shock for some, but I've been seeing all of this for years. As have many others. We are killing ourselves. NO ONE wins here. Thank you, I Prevail and Joyner. I Prevail has long been my favorite band, and them taking this stance makes me love them even more. Joyner, I'll be looking you up today. Mad talent. You gained another fan. Thank you guys.

This is damn amazing. Hit me hard, I ain't scared to admit I cried. My ex-husband was violent, I survived, PTSD is no joke , family members couldn't handle the pain and committed suicide, I was abused mentally and physically growing up and I fight my demons everyday. I survived so my children will know that no matter what, we ARE ALL in this together. Now...i know my purpose. Love Joyner 💘, you guys made a great song. Thanks

[@zacharyhowe202]

Anyone else get chills from the “I cant breath” portion, bring tears man!

[@austintyler7901]

100%

[@Swiftyyyyyyyyyy]

This song is too underrated. For a Joyner collab with I prevail, the message. People missing it.

[@xIndicaxHigh]

Even tho i never made music. It makes me want to remix this song to my own version & say how i feel about the world.

[@lindsayeller8649]

This song gives me the chills. Holy shit.

[@TechDove]

I was hoping there would be more Joyner , but this is great.

[@terribleatbest7939]

Agreed! I got so hyped seeing the mixture but was disappointed how little he was in it. Still a top song though.

[@james-sz9un]

yeah just sticking him in the beggining it didnt flow very well its a bit disappointing seems very low effort

[@NeverSnipeThis]

I feel like Joyner could have been added at 2:49 to make him a greater part of the song, missed opportunity imo.

[@amanfromnowhere1388]

I expected joyner raping in the middle of the song, or on the last part maybe

[@gabemcclin8942]

This is the song that's gonna make I Prevail Popular as they deserve.....

[@MotivatedPiller]

They already are popular. You need to check out all of their music especially hurricane (official music video), as they have a few versions out to tell you their story about themselves as they grew.

[@ricksterdrummer2170]

Fiat500TurbskiBoi 587.000 followers ain’t that popular dude. That’s like a standard rock fanbase. But as the guy above said, it’ll change with this song.

@@ricksterdrummer2170 this song actually came out quite a long time ago lmao

[@Chr1s747]

They sorta hit their intro peak back in '14-'15 with their cover of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space". Its only been a matter of who stuck around to listen to them. They're a good band and this music video with them having Joyner Lucas come in with a strong verse helps prove it.

[@karissabianconi8164]

If you've ever been to one of their shows, you'd know. They already toured with ADTR, been nominated for a grammy, and now this collab. I'd say they're quite popular

The volume of truth and realism is for real in this. It speaks out

[@chaoticchaos894]

This song fits to a T what the world is going through at this exact moment. Not only that but it brings together one of the most popular upcoming rap artist in Joyner. And a super talented hardcore band like I Prevail and they mix it beautifully. How is this not an anthem right now !

[@BennyCiel]

it was written about a year ago aswell they almost knew this shit was coming

[@wyvernslayer4530]

Joyner is one of the only rappers of this decade who isnt shit

[@override83]

The more I watch this, the more I'm seeing the subtle things in the video itself. Why is the pregnant lady's reflection colored but she isn't? Did you notice how scared and sad the kid shooting up the school seemed to be? As soon as child services took the baby, the mothers color faded instantly. This is some heavy, harsh and realistic vision of today's society.

[@wendull811]

I noticed the lady in labor is being yelled at showing signs of a abusive relationship / domestic violence.

[@flareboy166]

I noticed how when the white guy was going to shot down those 3 black men, their colors instantly faded to black and white. I think it's a symbol showing that they are dead

[@peternorth1721]

Its almost as if the people you demonize as being “the problem” have their own problems and fears too...its almost as if we arent all as inherently evil as we are made out to be? HMMMMM

To be clear, I'm very sure that the child is being removed by ICE

Literally I applaud my guy Joyner Lucas like he’s really one of the realist rappers in the world rn and I just love how he speaks the truth in his songs and him teaming up with I prevail is a dream come true because of the messages they also bring in their songs.

[@TxcticalMC]

Make this video trend. It can open the eyes of the people in the US. I'm not even close to being from the US or even living there but All I can say is that all these other countries need to unite and come together to make sure they're safe, or else it could spread more to us all. The fact that I'm 14, loving this type of music genre AND understanding everything in this music video means that this is a serious thing. I wish I could help more. Stay safe guys. How I see this video is that: The persons who aren't filtered grey are the ones who once had hope or something to live for. But we can see that colour or "life" leave them once what they live for is gone. If we don't stop, listen, and act on what is right in front of us. The whole world will be colourless.
