On April 2nd, 2008, the song was posted to YouTube by user thiefofsoul92, under the “Deftones - White Trash (Resident Evil)” name. The description was edited to say:
“I apologize for the error in the original name of the video ... Initially I didn't not know to whom the song would be, so I decided to put pictures of the groups which can probably perform the song...”
On March 5th, 2013, user Inequity Records posted a cover of the song to YouTube. In the description, they said they didn’t know who originally made it, and they said they found it on the internet “years ago” under the “Rare” name.
On June 17th, 2025, the same day it had a channel made for it in the FMM Discord Server, the song was identified by YouTube user ObscureMetalHardcoreArchive as White Trash by Coexist after they searched through old band websites and MP3.com pages, they found the page for this song, which included the lyrics.
In a recent comment, former band member "Joe" confirmed that the band was working on getting the CD digitized, saying: "We're working on getting the album and some other stuff uploaded".

Lyrics
[Spoken Interlude]
I don't know who told you that, but we'll s... we will sell a colored man, a... boat, just as quick as we will anybody
We're color blind down here, hell it don't make a damn 'f you're Vietnamese, they come from Brazil, I don't give a shit but whoever said that about me I wish they'd come by and tell me themselves
I would sell a black man a boat, quicker than a cat can lick 'is ass, and that's... that's... the way I feel about it now
I's brought up that way, we didn't know any prejudice, we were all, just brothers together and that's the way I feel about it now
[Intro]
Yeah!
White trash!
[Verse 1]
You wanna know what I can't explain
Your father's blows to your head, they caused damage to your brain
He used to beat you down just for kicks
When he used to beat you down, you was only six
How's it feel to have a house on wheels?
Your mother's turning tricks, just to keep hot meals on your table
But you are not too concerned
'Cause a white trash life is all you have learned!
[Chorus]
Redneck, skin head, corn fed, inbred, low life, bad breath (Life sucks!)
Welfare, don't care, wouldn't dare go there, you'd be better off dead (White trash!)
Redneck, skin head, corn fed, inbred, low life, bad breath (Life sucks!)
Welfare, don't care, wouldn't dare go there, you'd be better off dead (Being white trash!)
[Verse 2]
Ridin' around in your '78 truck
On a weenie wheel but you know what, you just don't give a fuck
A bed full of empty cans you can recycle for a buck
With a net hat on your head that says "Life Sucks"
Only four teetheses and three of 'em in your pocket
You only want Skynyrd, so us metal heads won't stop it
Broken down Pinto in your yard, you need parts, you got it!
I don't know your life so I don't fuckin' knock it!
[Chorus]
Redneck, skin head, corn fed, inbred, low life, bad breath (Life sucks!)
Welfare, don't care, wouldn't dare go there, you'd be better off dead (White trash!)
Redneck, skin head, corn fed, inbred, low life, b[ad breath (Life sucks!)][1]
Welfare, don't care, wouldn't dare go there, you'd be better off dead (Being white trash!)
[Bridge]
I look to the sky and fade away
Forget all the things I have to say
Reality breaks my life in two
A whole other world I never knew
A whole life filled with just mistake
I have nothing left to take
[Verse 3]
And it goes like this..
You dropped out of school in like the midst of eighth grade
'Cause you thought you was 'bout to like really get paid
Well, diddley shit is like what you really made
With a bitch ass boss who treats you like a slave
So you grab the twelve gauge to go put him in his grave
'Cause your so tired of working those twelve hour days
Reality it seems like ya stuck in the same maze
With no clear signs for better days
[Chorus]
Redneck, skin head, corn fed, inbred, low life, bad breath (Life sucks!)
Welfare, don't care, wouldn't dare go there, you'd be better off dead (White trash!)
Redneck, skin head, corn fed, inbred, low life, bad breath (Life sucks!)
Welfare, don't care, wouldn't dare go there, you'd be better off dead (Being white trash!)
[Verse 4]
Woke up late but still had to wake and bake
'Cause last night I drank that diesel fuel and now I got a stomach ache
An evening filled with dudes who playerhate and instigate
And bitches on my jock who I know are fuckin fake
Like KitKat I'm sayin' give me a break
'Cause at times like now I done took all I can take
If I was black I think I'd have to say, "N*ggas, please"
Playahaters suck my ass and you bitches suck on these
[Chorus]
Redneck, skin head, corn fed, inbred, low life, bad breath (Life sucks!)
Welfare, don't care, wouldn't dare go there, you'd be better off dead (White trash!)
Redneck, skin head, corn fed, inbred, low life, bad breath (Life sucks!)
Welfare, don't care, wouldn't dare go there, you'd be better off dead (Being white trash!)
Coexist
Coexist was a nu metal and metalcore band from New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
The band consisted of Joey Knesel on vocals, Ben Weller and Joe Panno on guitars, Jody Linell on bass, and Jimmy Mathis on drums.
They were described in their mp3.com page as “[straying] away from the norm and [sounding] like no other band, but [they have] been compared to a mixture between Rage, Iron Maiden, and Meshuggah.”
In 2001, they released their first and only album, Chaos And Creation, which included this song.
They later changed their name to Minus Infinity after discovering that another band by the name of Coexist from Austin, Texas had copyrighted the name.
