  • Hate and war, the only things we got today
    An' if I close my eyes
    They will not go away
    You have to deal with it
    It is the currency
    Hate, hate, hate
    The hate of a nation
    A million miles from home
    An' get war from the junkies
    Who don't like my form
    I'm gonna stay in the city
    Even when the house fall down
    I don't dream of a holiday
    When hate an' war come around
    Hate and war
    I have the will to survive
    I cheat if I can't win
    If someone locks me out
    I kick my back in
    An' if I get aggression
    I give it to them two time back
    Every day it's just the same
    With hate an' war on my back
    Hate and war, I hate all the English
    Hate and war, they're just as bad as wops
    Hate and war, I hate all the politeness
    Hate and war, I hate all the cops
    I want to walk down any street
    Looking like a creep
    I don't care if I get beat up
