Jermaine Dupri
Hate Ourselves
[Intro: Bone Crusher]
Listen let that music hit you for about 5 seconds
There are thingz in life
We of people need to get, need to get our weight up
Together the struggle starts today people
Listen here we go
[Verse 1: Bone Crusher]
In life sometimes things ain't what they seem
Some say they love you don't mean a damn thing
Sometimes it makes me wonder why
This pain it hurts me deep inside
Cuz all I wanna do is give love
But all day wowdees mean mug
So it brings the thug in me
And all I want is my family wit me
To share in this love of life
For my lil shorties to eat right
It's the short life that we live
And there's a lot that you can give
Get up yo weight people…
[Chorus]
Tell 'em
Tell 'em
Why we hate ourselves sooo
Please let me kno
Why we hate ourselves soo
Guess that's how goes
[Verse 2: Big Gipp]
The wars the battles the tussles the struggles
From nobody to a legend
Gipp in here
I command your attention
As if I was a band, you the people in the stand understand
I keep my lyrics slum and rigid
Young prospects watch, my feet don't miss my pivot
Don't matter my year, my gives stay consistent
I went from born to blazed
To beautiful days and beautiful ways
Laying down the truth for a bankhead, respect it
I try to interject it, I say through the music and the medic
Im dedicated to my pen and my pistol
My family and my hood I wish you nothing but good
[Chorus]
Tell 'em
Tell 'em
Why we hate ourselves sooo
Please let me kno
Why we hate ourselves soo
Guess that's how goes
[Verse 3: Khujo]
We don't love ourselves, cuz we hate who we see off in the mirror
A people that don lied to us
In the quipped to 24 7
Show us in the good book, if we go off to heaven, reverend
We swervin' in our innocence
Taking off in yo G 44 tell the truth about my ken 44
Po Po scared my up honey, and gave her a stroke
Jammed her up wit coke, strung out on soaps
Just listen a beat, ain't no love in these streets
And it's a shame what a n***a gotta do to feed his family
Trappin, scrappin, head stung
I made my mistakes in the past, but I was young and dumb
Learn from the thug, learn from the bars, learn from the ghetto, learn from the slum
I forget bout the struggle, I can't get by without the help from my sister and my brothers
[Chorus]
Tell 'em
Tell 'em
Why we hate ourselves sooo
Please let me know
Why we hate ourselves soo
Guess that's how goes
[Verse 4: T-Mo]
Never say never, I'm clever
Cutter butter brother
Shut her motherfuckin' lips wit my clip
Take a trip, take you way up in yo whip
A legendary, underestimated, underrated, hated by the critics
But I spit it, make em git it
Kick it when I hit yo city
Hook me up with the best greens they serve
I took a bird in the red eye
I'm workin' till I'm dead eye
The mission never ends
I'm up for them lazy ass
Mo gon clap dough, silly from they growth
True n***as they know, stay together till it's over
Staring out the window of my old home
We older
I'm never sober
I'm never sober
[Chorus]
Tell 'em
Tell 'em
Why we hate ourselves sooo
Please let me kno
Why we hate ourselves soo
Guess that's how goes
