Hate on Me
[MERCEDES]
If I could give you the world
On a silver platter
Would it even matter? You'd still be mad at me
If I can find in all this a dozen roses
That I would give to you, you'd still be miserable
'Cause in reality, I'm gon' be who I be
And I don't feel no faults for all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may bring me down when I say
That it ain't up to you, gonna do what you do

Hate on me hater
Now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby
(Go 'head and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me

Ooh, if I gave you peaches out of my own garden
And I made you a peach pie, would you slap me high?
Wonder if I gave you diamonds out of my own womb
Would you feel the love in that or ask "Why not the moon?"
If I gave you sanity for the whole of humanity
And had all the solutions for the pain and pollution
No matter where I live, despite the things I give
You will always be this way, so go ahead and
Hate on me hater
Now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby
(Go 'head and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
Hate on me hater
Now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby
(Go 'head and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me

Hate on me hater
Now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby
(Go 'head and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
Hate on me hater
Now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby
Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me, yeah
