You think I don't, feel any pain
When I'm near you, I feel nothing at all
The dirt runs, through my veins
Becoming numb from my very thoughts

Unclean
You cannot wash away the life
So why do you try? (Try, try)
Unclean
You cannot wash away your crimes
So why do you try? (Try, try)

You always take and you never give
But it seems like my debt's never paid
I'm stained with dirt from the inside out
This is a statement I can't wash away

Unclean
You cannot wash away the life
So why do you try? (Try, try)
Unclean
You cannot wash away your crimes
So why do you try? (Try, try)

I can see how unclean it gets, I'm leavin' it
I do not believe this shit, I'm breezin' it
Why you put the sleaze in it?
Ya unclean, unseen, and I'm leavin' it
Bouncin' out, reroutin', love and hate
You'll waste your days, yo you got to contemplate
I get my head on straight, I won't accommodate
Your evil ways, ya trapped, can't find the gate
Time to break, another minute I won't wait
Go find another little boy that you can dominate
Doin' your part, your heart, and your mind is late
I'm on time, clear mind, and so I'ma stay BACK

I cannot take this anymore (What the hell have you done to me?)
I cannot take this anymore (Every time I'm near you I feel unclean)
I cannot take this anymore (What the hell have you done to me?) (I'ma stay BACK)
I cannot take this anymore (Every time I'm near you I feel unclean)
KRS-One, but stay back

Unclean
You cannot wash away the life
So why do you try?
Unclean
You cannot wash away your crimes
So why do you try? (Try, try, try)
Unclean
Unclean
Unclean
