lyrics

I want you to hate me
I want you to hate me
I want you to hate me
I want you to hate me

You say that I cheat
The nature of the beast
I want to be your therapy
So, go ahead and hate me

I want you to hate me
I want you to hate me
Abuse me and use me
Humble me as if tragedy

Didn't happen last week
to the family
cause my pedigree
is less traumatic
out of the two
that's we...

A Dirty Mind
you say I have one
I misunderstood
where you came from

I misunderstood
why you stayed numb
I couldn't understand
anything that you
prayed for

Done
never no more
will we endure
Lack the vital nutrients
to insure

The statements
are thoughtless
and heartless
because my blackness
automatically
makes me target

In some circles
I know you say
that I think
that I'm perfect

I know you say my
friends are my minions
worshipping me
when I'm just a serpent

How will that
inspire change
How is that not
placing chains
How is that not
from a place
of generational rage

I say,
keep the love
keep the drugs
keep the club
keep the pub
keep the tub
I've never done
what they've done
An eldest son
who's not one
to use a gun
to fight for
his right to survive
in these last
days and times
in these last
days and times
in these last
days and times

Remind me
why we fighting' again
Remind me
that they're
only your friends

Remind me
that they're
only your friends
Remind me
that they're
only your friends
Remind me
that they're
only your friends

They're Your Friends (Not Mine)
They're Your Friends (Not Mine)
They're Your Friends (Not Mine)

Hate me…
Delete all our memories...

Despair is not seen
when the eyes are shut
under water is death
our hearing is rust…

Despair…
