People
jr. FRZa Lyrics

Hurt people
People who are hurt emotionally or mentally

Hurt people
People who are hurt emotionally or mentally

It's not equal
Not everyone experiences emotional or mental pain in the same way or to the same degree

This endless cycle yeah
This pattern of emotional or mental pain and suffering that seems to never end

Hurt people
People who are hurt emotionally or mentally

Hurt people
People who are hurt emotionally or mentally

It's not equal
Not everyone experiences emotional or mental pain in the same way or to the same degree

This endless cycle yeah
This pattern of emotional or mental pain and suffering that seems to never end

What's so sad to see
It's unfortunate to witness

In this society
Within our culture or community

We take it all for granted
We fail to appreciate what we have and focus on what we lack

We follow misery
We tend to gravitate towards negativity or negative emotions

We fall for tyranny
We submit to power or control that is oppressive or cruel

Are you hearing me
Are you listening and understanding what I'm saying

Stay numb and suppress it
Avoid or ignore your emotional or mental pain

Relapse to depression
Return to a state of low mood, sadness, or hopelessness

That emotional tension
That buildup of emotional or mental strain

React in aggression
Respond with hostility or violence

Just in a split second
In a very short amount of time

Hatred becomes a weapon
Feelings of intense dislike or anger are used to harm others

Aimed at your direction
Directly targeted towards you

When you're triggered
When something causes a strong emotional or mental reaction

There's no guessing
There's no uncertainty or doubt about what will happen

Ego injured
Self-esteem is harmed

Stay defensive
Remain guarded or protective

I can see it in your eyes
I can tell by looking at you

It's not hard to recognize
It's easy to see and understand

When you stare at a reflection
When you look at yourself, either literally or metaphorically

I said I wonder if we noticed
I'm asking if we have recognized or acknowledged

That our problems steal our focus
That our issues consume our attention and energy

Maybe nature or we chose it
Perhaps it's human nature or we've made a deliberate decision

But these eyes ain't really open
We're not truly aware or perceptive

We don't show up
We don't actively participate or engage

We just phone in
We only make a minimal or half-hearted effort

Even to the folks who's closest
Even to the people who are closest to us

Thinking everybody owes us
Believing that others are obligated to help or support us

These leaders lost as Moses
These authorities or figures of influence are confused or misguided

But the desert ends
The difficult or barren period comes to a close

Seen of best of men
Even the greatest or most moral individuals have faced hardship

Have to recompense
Have to make up for or make amends for

We all got shadow side
We all have darker, hidden aspects of ourselves

Don't over play your innocence
Don't act as if you are blameless or without fault

I can just imagine that your ravaged by past damages
I can envision that you are deeply affected by previous emotional or mental harm

Healing is the answer babe
Recovery and moving past pain is the solution

Don't throw away your bandages
Don't discard the things that have helped you heal or cope

Why must we suffer
Why do we have to endure emotional or mental pain

Why do we hate each other
Why do we feel intense and negative emotions towards others

Where there's no peace
In situations where there is conflict, tension, or turmoil

There's no room to be lovers
There's no space for positive and loving emotions or relationships

Just enemies
Just adversaries or opponents

That's fueled by what is uttered
That is driven by what is said or expressed

We need to breathe
We need to take a moment and calm down

Then think
Then reflect or consider

before we hurt one another
Before we cause emotional or mental harm to each other

Tell me now tell me now
Please communicate with me

Really how you feel
Truly share your thoughts and emotions

If we can learn to understand
If we can comprehend and empathize with others

Then we can overcome and heal
Then we can move past hardship and recover

From the traumas in our past
From the emotional or mental pain we've experienced in previous experiences

That we block and we conceal
That we hide or repress

It's a symptom from this trap
It's a result of this pattern or cycle that we're stuck in

That was instilled to keep us ill
That was created to maintain our emotional or mental distress

Stuck inside world that need to change
Trapped in a society or environment that requires improvement

I know we all just tryna maintain
I know we're all just trying to make it through

I know we all wish we never felt pain
I know we all desire a life without emotional or mental suffering

I hope forgiveness is all that remains
I hope the ability to forgive is what remains for us
