Hate it or love it [Remix] lyrics

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
