  • The closing track from V sends out a message of purpose.

    It's your life. It's do or die

    J-Dog recalled to Scene For Dummies: "We were s---faced drinking in the rain under an awning on Wilcox Avenue in Hollywood at three in the morning. That's how the chorus came about."

    "It's true," added Johnny 3 Tears with a smile. "I love when ideas come about organically. It's personal, but it's a statement for everyone. It might be cliché to say, but it needs to be repeated: You can't waste your f--king time. It's a self-affirmation. Every moment you waste worrying is a moment you could've been done something that might actually have consequence by the day you die."
