Xxxtentacion Revenge
XXXTentacion died two years ago, his life cut short during a fatal shooting in broad daylight. As his fans were left grappling with the sudden nature of his murder, many struggled with facing the finality of it. In many ways, it seemed like the young Floridian artist was only beginning to develop as an artist. His creative mind seemed to operate at a breakneck pace, leaping from idea to idea without a moment to spare. Sometimes it led to half-fleshed out skeletons — other times, lightning in a bottle.
Though it’s far from his most iconic single, the simple brilliance of “REVENGE” played a pivotal role in solidifying Triple X’s potential. At first, skeptics were quick to write him off as an abrasive and confrontational SoundCloud rapper. Yet here he was, penning melancholic ballads on an acoustic guitar, revealing his natural melodic touch in the process. Lyrically, the track tells the story of a timeless theme, its opening line citing the proverb “on the road to revenge, dig two graves.” Despite its brevity, XXXTentacion manages to imbue the song with weight, even his simplest reflections resonating through the subtle pain in his voice.

Lyrics
[Intro]
I think I, I think I finally
Found a way to forgive myself
From mistakes I made in my past
I think that’s the first step, right?
You agree?
[Verse]
I’ve dug two graves for us, my dear
Can’t pretend that I was perfect, leavin’ you in fear
Oh, man, what a world, the things I hear
If I could act on my revenge, then, oh, would I?
Some kill, some steal, some break your heart
And you thought that I would let it go and let you walk
Well broken hearts break bones, so break up fast
And I don’t wanna let it go, so in my grave I’ll rot
I’ve dug two graves for us, my dear
Can’t pretend that I was perfect, leavin’ you in fear
Oh, man, what a world, the things I hear
If I could act on my revenge, then, oh, would I?
Some kill, some steal, some break your heart
And you thought that I would let it go and let you walk
Broken hearts break bones, so break up fast
And I don’t wanna let it go, so in my grave I’ll rot
[Chorus]
In my grave, I’ll rot
In my grave, I’ll rot
In my grave, I’ll rot-ot-ot
In my grave, I’ll rot
In my grave, I’ll rot-ot-ot
In my grave, I’ll rot
[Outro]
In my grave, I’ll rot
I’ll rot, I’ll rot, I’ll rot
Is my pain your freedom?
Is all of my pain your freedom?
Enjoy
