[Verse One]
I ask myself why I'm so hateful
Maybe just part of my nature
People say I'm fucked in my mind
Feels like there's nothing left inside

Walking now on different dirty streets
But the same old feeling still exists
Hate is like a shade that will never leave
Leave me alone I don't need sympathy

[Pre-Chorus]
What goes around
Comes around
You're going down
Down

[Chorus]
Straighthate
Straighthate
Straighthate
Straighthate

[Verse Two]
Criticize and call me negative
You never face life or reality
Separate myself from the rest
What the fuck do you expect?

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
Straighthate
Straighthate
Straighthate
Straighthate
Straight fucking hate

What goes around
Comes around

[Bridge]
Grow up in the ghettos
Made me real
To deal with my fears
Motherfucker you don't understand
Pain and hate

Sepultura is a Brazilian heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte. Formed in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the band was a major force in the death metal, thrash metal and groove metal genres during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their later experiments drawing influence from alternative metal, world music, nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal.

The first Sepultura show was on December 4th, 1984. The band played two songs that never were re-recorded or released.

The band name comes from a Portuguese translation of Motörhead’s song “Dancing on Your Grave” which is “Dançando na sua Sepultura”. Sepultura means “grave” (sepulchre) in Portuguese (and in some other Latin-based languages). Originally, they wanted to call the band Tropa de Choque (Shock Troops), but found that the name had been used before.
