I know there′s a lot of folks dealing with a lot

It's been one hell of a last two years

(Once again, I′m locked in with TP, we finna make a hit)

Hurt people, hurt people

Hurt people, hurt people (facts)

Let's examine the fact why people, hurt people

Poor, rich or white or Black

all share this Earth, people (well, damn)

Hurt people, hurt people

Hurt people, hurt people (facts)

Let's examine the fact why people, hurt people

′Cause they hurt, so they hurt people (go)

I′m thinking 'bout the words

I had to search, people (the right ones)

Let′s talk about how hurt people

hurt people (even your day ones)

Some put 'em in the dirt, I mean they murk people

So sad to see your homeboy on a shirt, people (damn)

I pray one day we all know gon′ know our worth

people (Lord)

Our curse, we Black, so it started from birth, people

I heard this lady killed her husband

he wasn't sleeping with her (whoa)

But her pops had left her mom

she been had daddy issues (damn)

Saw my partner shoot his brother

over a couple dollars (bruh)

It gets deep ′cause they grew up

without no fucking father (sad)

My daddy loved me

but didn't love me like that fucking bottle

I watched my mama fight her sisters

I was just a toddler (mom)

Hurt people (hurt) hurt people

Hurt people, hurt people

Let's examine the fact why people, hurt people

Poor, rich or white or Black, all share this Earth, people

Hurt people, hurt people

Hurt people, hurt people

Let′s examine the fact why people, hurt people

′Cause they hurt, so they hurt people

They say that hurt people, hurt people

well, I'm the fucking model (true)

Them niggas robbed me a couple times

then I turned to the robber (woo)

I had to look straight in the mirror and say

"I′m the problem" (you)

Life kept giving me tests

I didn't even know how to solve them (well, damn)

I damn near went completely numb

I wasn′t even feeling shit (no)

I had a lot of pent-up trauma I wasn't dealing with

Self-medicating, a pint a day leads to an early death

Oh, that′s the Wop y'all want? Well

hope that y'all don′t hold y′all breath

The shit I said and did, I'm grown, I had to blame myself

Now there′s no one to blame 'cause

I′m the only one that's left (myself)

A nigga tried to claim my body just to gain a rep

But he′s so hurt and desperate

really, that's a cry for help (help)

Hurt people, hurt people

Hurt people, hurt people

Let's examine the fact why people, hurt people

Poor, rich or white or Black, all share this Earth, people

Hurt people, hurt people

Hurt people, hurt people

Let′s examine the fact why people, hurt people
