Hate it or love it (Remix)
Ya, let's take em back
Uh huh
Comin' up I was confused: my momma kissin' a girl
Confusion occurs comin' up in the cold world
Daddy ain't around, probably out commitin' felonies
My favorite rapper used to sing "Ch-check out my melody"
I wanna live good, so should I sell dope
For a fo-finger ring, money and them gold ropes
Nana told me if I pass, could get a sheep skin coat
If I can move a few packs and get the hat, now that'd be dope
Tossed and turned in my sleep at night
Woke up the next morning, niggas done stole my bike
Different day, same shit, ain't nothing good in the hood
I'd run away from this bitch and never come back if I could
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me
I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me
I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
I told Dre from the gate I carried the heat for ya
First mixtape, I inherited beef for ya
Gritted my teeth for ya
G-G-G-G(G-UNIT!) for ya
Put Compton on my back when you was in need of soldiers
At my last show I threw away my NWA gold and
Had the whole crowd yellin' "Free Yayo"
So Niggas betta get up outta mine
Fo' I creep and turn yo' projects into Columbine
And I'm rap's MVP
Don't make me remind y'all what happened in DC
This nigga ain't Gotti
He pretend
He mad at us 'cos Ashanti got a new boyfriend
And it seems yo' little rat turned out to be a mouse
This beef shit is for the birds, and the birds fly south
Even Young Buck can vouch
When the Doc was out, who gave the West Coast mouth to mouth?
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me
I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me
I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
From the beginnin' of the end
Losers lose, winners win
This is real, we dont gotta pretend
The cold world that we in
It's full of pressure and pain
I thought it would change, it's stayin the same
How many of them balls was wit ya
When you had that little TV
You had to hit on to get a picture?
I'm walkin' with the snub
'Cos niggas do a lot of slip talkin' in the club
'Til they coughing on the rug
I ain't never had much but a walkman and a bud
My role model was gone
Snortin' up his drugs
Bad enough they want me to choke
My boi just got poked in the throat
Now it's a R.I.P. shirt in my coat
Now I'm speedin', reminiscin'
Holdin' my weed, he never listen
If I see him never livin'
Maybe that'll even the score
But if not, it'll be me on the floor
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me
I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me
I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
I started out at 15
Scared as hell
I took 30 off a pack
And I made them sales
As a youth man I used to hustle for loot
With that little deuce deuce
And my triple fat goose
Sippin' easy Jesus
Rockin' the leases
But mama whipped me when she found my pieces
I look back on life and think "thank God I'm blessed"
We the best on the planet, so forget the rest
You know I'm still nice wit my cook game
Look man
It's a hood thang
Thats why im loved in Brooklyn
I handle mine
Just like a real nigga should
If I do some time
Homie, I'm still all good
Let me show you what a thug 'bout
Born to die
I took the bullets outta 50
Put em in my .45
And I ain't even got my feet wet yet
A seven figure nigga who ain't seen a royalty check
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me
I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me
I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
