On “Hurt people”, Jussie talks about how angry and mean a broken-hearted person can become, scheming and trying to make others unhappy.
That’s the point of the album that he starts showing his pop side, singing over a beat made with happy kicks,claps and flutes.
(Verse 1)
Broken-hearted people are the first ones
Once things started they can be the worst ones
Love is a weapon if you don't use it right
Now we are watching you come for my life
(Hook)
Hurt people hurt people
They don't know why
Ah ah ah ah
Hurt people hurt people
They don't even try
Ah ah No oh ah ah
We all go through things in our lives
That don't make the shit all right
You don't hear me
Listen clearly
Hurt people hurt people
And then say good bye
And then say good bye
(Verse 2)
Hearted beating when you pull the fast ones
Lying, Scheming
What kind of life is that one?
What would the world remember you for?
Love gets knocked out and comes back for more
(Hook)
Hurt people hurt people
They don't know why
Hurt people hurt people
They don't even try
We all go through things in our lives
That don't make shit all right
You don't hate me
Listen clearly
Hurt people hurt people
And then say good bye
Hurt people hurt people
They don't know why
Hurt people hurt people
They don't even try
We all go through things in our lives
That don't make shit all right
You don't hate me
Listen clearly
Hurt people hurt people
And then say good bye
(Outro)
I ain't hurt no more
