Either Hated or Ignored

$uicideBoy$'s song 'Either Hated Or Ignored' is a raw and unfiltered exploration of the struggles and defiance faced by the artists. The lyrics, delivered by NORFSIDE $HAWTY and RUBY SOHO, delve into themes of alienation, defiance, and the harsh realities of life. The song opens with NORFSIDE $HAWTY's aggressive declaration of independence and disdain for those who doubted their success. The repeated references to 'playa hataz' and the imagery of vultures circling a dead body underscore the sense of being constantly surrounded by negativity and opportunism.

The lyrics also touch on the artists' backgrounds and the challenges they faced growing up. The mention of 'white boy with the nappy hair' and the defiant middle finger to societal expectations highlight their refusal to conform. The aggressive tone and references to weapons and violence further emphasize their readiness to defend themselves and their vision at all costs. This defiance is not just against external forces but also against the internal struggles and doubts that come with pursuing a non-traditional path.

RUBY SOHO's verse shifts the focus to the personal toll of their lifestyle. The references to substance abuse, the fleeting nature of success, and the constant battle with inner demons paint a picture of a life filled with highs and lows. The repeated refrain of 'sing a sad ass song' serves as a poignant reminder of the pain and loss that underpin their journey. The imagery of 'another death in the 7th Ward' and 'another tally on the sword' speaks to the pervasive sense of mortality and the impact of their environment on their psyche. Ultimately, 'Either Hated Or Ignored' is a powerful testament to the resilience and raw emotion that define $uicideBoy$'s music.
