They wanna kill you, you're the cancer, you're the fucking problem
You're the pollution, you're the issue, and they wanna solve it
They wanna kill you, you're the cancer, how's that make you feel?

from El-P – True Story Lyrics on Rap Genius

These lines play with the title and an underlying theme of the album, “Cancer 4 Cure,” the disease reimagined as cure. Here the “you” is identified as a cancer in need of a cure, a problem in need of solving. For El-P, though, the problem is the solution.
