They gon hate me for this lifestyle
They gon hate me for this lifestyle
Yeah
Genius
Yes they gon hate me for this lifestyle
Cause my
Skin black I fit the profile
I'm tryna
Reverse the curse that stuck as a child
I gotta
Release the stress without going wild
Yes they gon' hate me for this lifestyle
Cause my
Hair nappy and could go the mile
I'm tryna
Collect my earnings, let the money pile
I gotta
Make em angry with this lifestyle
Tryna keep my ship afloat
It's funny how I'm shackled down
Looking through these weary eyes
See the pain in every frown
Feeling lost but never found
It don't help when ya skin is brown
Ready to go get the crown
Hope you know the time is now
Can't afford to be a target
Everyday its open season
Black male gunned down
Now watch em justify the reason
Every day, every evening
Honestly what is the meaning
Guess it's just a power trip
And to stop me from breathing
Hard living, hood gentrified
Job say I'm not a good fit but overqualified
Sorry I ain't good enough for kids to personify
Hate me you all you want
You can pray and hope for my demise
Devil's lies
Why they gotta hate on me
I'm just tryna feed my family tryna live low-key
Got these demons got all around me
But my soul ain't cheap
Cause I'll be damned if I'm dreaming
And I go follow some sheep
Yes they gon hate me for this lifestyle
Cause my
Skin black I fit the profile
I'm tryna
Reverse the curse that stuck as a child
I gotta
Release the stress without going wild
Yes they gon' hate me for this lifestyle
Cause my
Hair nappy and could go the mile
I'm tryna
Collect my earnings, let the money pile
I gotta
Make em angry with this lifestyle
I know they hate to see me winning
Cause I keep mastering my craft
And playing my position
They say hate a weak emotion
Most known condition
But even if I'm off balance
You know I ain't tripping
Focused on the mission
Black fist clutching dollars
Knowledge like a scholar
Never go against my own
I make the circle larger
Cause if the plan expand far
Then we going farther
Gotta stay above water
Try to reach the harbor
Been alive to see so much
The things we seen'll leave your mind struck
Running from them black trucks
We dip and they call backup
Hoping it don't be the day that they gon test yo luck
They love us in them handcuffs
I just wanna live my life free
Cause all the money and the fame it don't excite me
I've been up and I've been down to reach some sanity
But this the lifestyle that we live
It's a reality
Yes they gon hate me for this lifestyle
Cause my
Skin black I fit the profile
I'm tryna
Reverse the curse that stuck as a child
I gotta
Release the stress without going wild
Yes they gon' hate me for this lifestyle
Cause my
Hair nappy and could go the mile
I'm tryna
Collect my earnings, let the money pile
I gotta
Make em angry with this lifestyle
