Some People Hate lyrics
by Paul Anka
[Intro: Refrain]
That old fashioned word
It's a word called love
Called looooove
Called looo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-ove
[Intro: Jay-Z]
Oh, this must be the way the n*gga Pac felt when he made
Me Against the World, All Eyez on Me
Y'all n*ggas got me feelin' like all eyes on me, me against the world
Mmm, y'all got me on my sh*t
Thought n*ggas would appreciate what I did to this game
Being that I'm flesh of your flesh, blood of your blood
Come from the same hood you come from
We share basically the same stories
Thought n*ggas would appreciate what I came and did
Since ninety-six, every year
Something must be seriously wrong with the world
I know y'all ain't hating
[Chorus: Jay-Z & (sample)]
(Some people hate) Don't tell me n*ggas is hating
(Some people hate) Uhh, nah, you know what I think?
(Some people hate) I think...
(I think they've lost their minds) Think y'all lost your mind
Y'all got me on my sh*t
[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
Raw, rough and rugged, when addressing the mass public
My attitude is f*ck it 'cause motherf*ckers love it
Got a chip on my shoulder the size of the Golden Nugget in Vegas
And f*ck being famous, I came to get the butters
I came from the gutter, my success in this game
Is sort of like Pro-jectic Justice
A payment for brushes with police officers
A peace offering from the Gods for the streets I was tossed in
Til I'm deceased in a coffin
I'ma be a beast on these beats releasing early and often
Please, your disdain for the brothers ain't gon change the numbers
It's the strengthening of chain among us
Please we ain't afraid of none of ya's; who want it with us?
Ain't nuttin changed since the ninety-six summer, c'mon
[Chorus: Jay-Z & (sample)]
(Some people hate) Yeah
(Some people hate) Uh, uh, uh
(Some people hate) Yeah! You know what I think?
(I think they've lost their minds) They say success breeds envy
[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
I guess it's just the penalty of leadership
I guess I'm what n*ggas wanna be and sh*t
Or n*ggas just bored wanna be in sh*t
'Fore they get to rappin', start believing it, think they Ali and sh*t
I roll with the punches so I survive
I bob and weave, move my feet from side to side
I'm back, stronger than ever, surprise, surprise
They try to take me out the game but I's alive
It's like a old Negro spiritual, but I mastered Tobey
With a splash of Monster Kody, shoot faster than Kobe, n*gga
You bast*rds know me, the one and only
Big homie from the Roc, I think you pastors lonely
You need Jesus in your life
It's either that or y'all gon' make me
Put the double Desert Eagles in your life, n*gga
[Chorus: Jay-Z & (sample)]
(Some people hate)
(I know n*gga's ain't hating man, let me find out)
(Some people hate) Jealousy is a weak emotion, man
(Some people kill their brothers)
C'mon man, be stronger than that.. you know what I think?
(I think they've lost their minds) You'll be alright though
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Au contraire, n*gga, I am here 'cause I earned this sh*t
By riding out when n*ggas had learners' permit
We bring then knives out or we let them burners spit
I bring them pies out if n*ggas wanna burn the strip
Bring your rides out, bring your buggy eyes out
Turn your six, I laid back in the Maybach
n*gga this the payback, I know you b*tch n*ggas from way back
n*ggas wanna clown, but the pound, it don't play that
Get yourself found drowned where the lake at
Run up on 'em notoriously, take that, take that
And then we coming where your wake at
Eight maniac cats strapped with gats, you can hate that
Face facts, fake rap cats
Can't take back what I took back to the Brook, look
[Outro: Sample]
Some people hate
Some people hate
Some people kill their brothers
I think they've lost their minds
And I'm hung up.. ohh..
