Hate Runs Deep
[Chorus]
Hate runs deep in the hearts of many
Hate runs deep in the guts of all
Cause your hate can judge a fate
When guns blaze at nighttime cause it's the right time for wrong
Hate runs deep in the hearts of many
Hate runs deep in the guts of all
Cause your hate can judge a fate
Cause n***as cuttin' they lifelines for crime, but we still movin' on
[Verse 1: Saukrates]
Index fingers touch rewind as my aura propels your mindstate
Leaving behind fake visions
You're blind cause it's hard to find
Lyrics flood the black market more than rock can steal
My stock's hot, cause it's realer than real when caps peel
Pay rent for cement, mother's hearts gettin' bent
'Cause nights is trife
And it's chllin' like a villain executin' his killin' but there's no blood spillin'
And it's just as illin', Prepare for head-fillin'
When you enter my jurisdiction of non-fiction
And lead-fillin'((/led feelin'?)) if you steppin' to mad n***as bitchin'
Cause the yang is regretful when you're letful
Bleedin' buckets of red from your head over duckets, fuck it
I'm living for next year, my dear
I say cheers and guzzle eleven beers to celebrate
The years of my life, I got mo' days than fo' days
Though some are po' days, optimistic I'll stay
For me, my grandmother will pray a check spray my way
Losin' sleep over victims of the creep
The well runs dry as n***as wish to die
He said goodbye watchin' his honey cry
From the other side of Ryker's glass eye
S guards no fraud
Eloquent speech will teach, though my hate runs deep, n***a
Word up yo, my hate runs deep
No lie
[Verse 2: Marvel]
Aiyo, my hate runs deep like still waters
The thought of all frustrations, bring forth innovations
I flip my rhetoric and direct it, with some
Egotistical mystical type of shit, to make their heads split
I bring complex sexual intercourse to microphones
Hittin' my slang with the anger from my childhood
Runnin' around with dirty stains in dirty Haines
Peepin' flirty dames, shit never stay the same
I used to write 'cause it was appropriate
But now I feel I gotta write for industries and associates
Some years back, I found a pillow to scream into
I was fiendin' through crates of legendary greats
And seein' through the whack individuals who left residuals of bullshit lying around
Fuckin' with n***as like me, 'cause now they're tryin' to be down
With my session, corrupt like projects in the recession
Consider it a blessing when Marvel hit the stage
Go home and write a page 'cause it's my daily routine
Vibrations are caught, and then I see the unseen
When I creep, you know my shit is deep, word up
[Chorus]
Hate runs deep in the hearts of many
Hate runs deep in the guts of all
Cause your hate can judge a fate
When guns blaze at nighttime cause it's the right time for wrong
Hate runs deep in the hearts of many
Hate runs deep in the guts of all
Cause your hate can judge a fate
Cause n***as cuttin' they lifelines for crime, but we still movin' on
[Verse 3: Saukrates]
N***as gettin' stuck in the alleyways of unlucky schemes for bucks
Stuck in that and short cuts
But I chose to fight those urges that were foul
And write prose in spite of foes lurking the prowl
So I live to see my child smile
To increase my chance, fertilize my side of the family branch
As my flows enhance the relationship of romance
Women get stuck in a trance, brothers dig my style as I intoxicate
Their minds with concise rhyming and give 'em the whole nine
My shit's natural, a prime
Generating inspirational thoughts
Bitches still get caught in the crossfire I duck
So the streets don't talk
No concern for the rebel as an average n***a got dissed
Pulled the trigger and missed
Now a casualty lies on the streets leakin'
Attitudes peakin', the levels settle when I'm speakin'
Momma's hands was reachin'
Thought there was black on the backs of many
The day they buried the child who died for the worth of a penny
This topic strikes me
MC Saukrates says shit unlikely
To cease, black please come back, fittin' stereotypes exact
Chemicals react when I rap
As a youth I never thought life could be so tough
Givin' half a deck, you never realize that you're bluff earnin' half a check
The moonshine traders, a drug deal parade
Receiving another wage, gettin' paid to get yourself a fade
Don't let cash burn fast no more
According to the world you're poor
[Chorus]
Hate runs deep in the hearts of many
Hate runs deep in the guts of all
Cause your hate can judge a fate
When guns blaze at nighttime cause it's the right time for wrong
Hate runs deep in the hearts of many
Hate runs deep in the guts of all
Cause your hate can judge a fate
Cause n***as cuttin' they lifelines for crime, but we still movin' on
