Proven Lyrics

Cover art for Proven lyrics by Hatebreed

i think this song was about some people from the hardcore scene that hatebreed came from giving them shit for supposedly "selling-out" with releasing Perseverance on Universal Records, and hatebreed basically saying "we've been here for years and we're going to keep doing what we believe is right and we will be sticking around whether you think we will or not." and you know what? what hardcore band that started in 1995 is still around, let alone fucking revelant enough to keep releasing great records and still believing in the same values they founded the band on? that's right none except hatebreed.

this song reminds me of that line from the bane song Count Me Out "and i'll be here tomorrow, and i'll be here next year, just like this x on the back of my hand, i ain't going nowhere" (excluding the straight edge reference of course haha.)
