I for an I

I was born with hatred in my heart
That's the only language I was taught as a child
And it's universal, I always get my point across
Yes, I'm a ticking home-made bomb
It's just a matter of time
'Til I give back what I've been given
And this curse keeps on spreading

I for an I for an I for an I for an
I, I for an I for an I for an I for an I

You raised me, you shaped me, you...
Raped me, you blamed me, you...
Failed me, you aped me, you...
You

I can't remember how it began
The bloodstains of the past generations just were in my hands
This anger's boiling deep inside me
And I don't know how to stop it
I spread it, I for an I

I for an I for an I for an I for an
I, I for an I for an I for an I for an
I, I for an I for an I for an I for an
Why, I for an I for an why foreign I for an I

Break the cycle or it will never end
You are not to blame for your ancestors' sins
But you got to shed the old skin
Burn the old blueprint
Or risk reprinting history all over again

Hurt people hurt hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people hurt hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people hurt hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people

Hurt people hurt hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people hurt hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people hurt hurt people, hurt people
Yes...

Ain't it funny how some things go
Ain't it funny
Ain't it funny how some things turn out the way they were meant to be
