all the tension in the world today
all the little girls fillin up the world today
with the good comes the bad - the bad comes the good
but i'm gonna live my life like i should
now all the critics wanna hit it
to shit-can how we did it
just because they don't get it
but i'll stay fitted - new era committed
now this red cap gets a wrap from his critics

do we always gotta cry
do we always gotta live inside a lie
life's just a blast, it's movin' really fast
you better stay on top or life will kick you in the ass
follow me into a solo,
remember that kid so what you wanna do
and where you gonna run when you're starin' down the cable of a...
mic pointed at your grill like a gun
limp bizkit's rockin' the set
it's like russian roulette when you're placin' your bet
so don't be upset when you're broke and you're done
‘cause i'm gonna be the one till i jet

i know why you wanna hate me
i know why you wanna hate me
i know why you wanna hate me
‘cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
i know why you wanna hate me
i know why you wanna hate me
now, i know why you wanna hate me
‘cause hate is all the world has even seen lately

does anyone really know the secret
or the combination for this life, and where to keep it
it's kinda sad when you don't know the meanin'
but everything happens for a reason
i don't even know what i should say,
‘cause i'm an idiot, a loser, a microphone abuser
i analyze every second i exist
beatin' up my mind every second with my fist

and everybody wanna run,
everybody wanna hide from the gun
you can take that ride through this life, if you want
but you can't take the edge off the knife - no sir
and now you want your money back
but you're denied, ‘cause your brain's fried from the sack
and there ain't nothin i can do,
cause life is a lesson - you learn it when you're through

i know why you wanna hate me
i know why you wanna hate me
i know why you wanna hate me
‘cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
i know why you wanna hate me
i know why you wanna hate me now,
i know why you wanna hate me
‘cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
i know why you wanna hate me
‘cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
