Look, I know you're tryna spin out some positive shit, yeah, yeah-eah
Take my whole struggle and say I embody some shit, yeah, yeah
Like how I'm such a big inspiration to those across the nation
Grew up with a similar lack of proper helpin' hands
Or some such crap, not sayin' that truth lacks
But my tale ain't as hopeful or beautiful as all of that

All by spite (all by spite)
That's the way that I knuckle down (that's the way I knuckle down)
All this time (all this time)
It's by hate that I push through now (it's by hate I push through now)
Don't try to make me, don't try to make me (no, no)
Some perfect baby, some perfect baby (no)
All by spite (all by spite)
That's my sole motivation now (my sole motivation now)

I don't think I can make a diff'rence keepin' my story as is, I'm bettin'
It's not quite a heroic motivation, you'd have to really twist it
There's no fund to gain cash for, that's not my intention
No orphanage that's set to be destroyed, no super-rare sickness (no, no, no)
Let's avoid the real obvious flip of the coin
And say I'm super selfish, devoid of proper empathy and non-crude joy
Got my goal but I'm no asshole, well, a little bit, just not in whole
And I won't let you cover it up with some trite "misses his mother" junk
You won't get the story you're anglin' for, I know how you lead questions, bud
My background's on the light side of hell
But there's zero lush violins here to swell
I'm just pissed off as hell, there's no "better myself", bud

All by spite (all by spite)
There's no niceness in what went down (zero niceness had gone down)
All this time (all this time)
It's my rage that gets me through now (my rage that gets me through now)
Don't try to make me, don't try to make me (no, no)
Some flawless baby, some flawless baby (no)
All by spite (all by spite)
Don't be tryin' that twee shit now (don't be tryin' (yeah) twee shit now)

You can say that I can't be bitter, I look way too chipper
For somebody motivated by pure hate, did somethin' change to make me veg out?
Somethin' could still, that's a big doubt 'cause I still wanna rip out
Ev'ry hair, don't think it's fair to compare, no, ev'ry other fool to sit down
And complain a bunch, man, they complain a bunch, must be like a hundred of 'em
They're so damn pissy about ev'rything that they see, lot of garbage in front of them
Now, they might need humblin' a tad but I know that their life sucked really bad
I just wish they were shuttin' the hell up, energy that they keep wastin'
Lots of things worth the hatin', anti-admirin', but it just isn't all that inspirin'
To see them whine without improvin' their lives, don't dare misinterpret my rhymin'
There's a reason that these people all gripe: to get the word to ev'rybody
'Cause a good chunk of ev'rybody has the same tale, sucks for ev'rybody, pain
I may sound like a douche but I just want you to hold back
On the bitchin', better to do somethin' about it, that's what my young self planned to do
I never stopped bein' real pissed, used it as a tool
To make sure that nothin' turned out badder, improvin' my life and those who are just like me: sick of this shit
It's simple as a principle, it's like Bruce Banner just less physical
And I won't lie, trick or mislead you and lay on schmaltz like the pictures do, it's hate
That keeps me goin' through all of the shit days, I'm not just doin' a comic bit, mate
It's an absolute slog for thick brains to think what I say is cover for big pain

All by spite (all by spite)
There's no deep inner angst I've found (no deep inner angst I've found)
All this time (all this time)
Live to dismantle bullshit now (live to break up bullshit now)
Don't try to make me, don't try to make me (no, no)
Some harmless baby, some harmless baby (no)
All by spite (all by spite)
May have peace one day, that's not now (may have peace one day, not now)
