Hate It or Love It [G Unit Remix; Bonus Track]
Curtis James Jackson, Allan Wayne Felder, Norman Ray Harris, David Darnell Brown, Christopher Charles Lloyd, Ronald Baker, Jayceon Terrell Taylor, Marvin Bernard
Yeah, let's take 'em back
Uh huh
Comin' up I was confused, my mommy kissin' a girl
Confusion occurs comin' up in the cold world
Daddy ain't around, probably out commitin' felonies
My favorite rapper used to sing, "Check check out My Melody"
I wanna live good, so shit I sell dope
For a four finger ring, one of them gold ropes
Nana told me if I passed I'd get a sheepskin coat
If I can move a few packs I'd get the hat, now that'd be dope
Tossed and turned in my sleep that night
Woke up the next mornin', niggas had stole my bike
Different day, same shit, ain't nothin' good in the hood
I'd run away from this bitch and never come back if I could
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
I told Dre from the gate "I'd carry the heat for ya"
First mixtape song I inherited beef for ya
Gritted my teeth for ya, G-G-G-G for ya
Put Compton on my back when you was in need of soldiers
At my last show I threw away my N.W.A. gold
I had the whole crowd yellin "Free Yayo!"
So niggas better get up outta mine
For I creep and turn your projects into Columbine
And I'm rap's MVP
Don't make me remind y'all what happened in D.C
This nigga ain't Gotti, he pretend
Mad at us 'cause Ashanti got a new boyfriend
And it seems your lil' rat turned out to be a mouse
This beef shit is for the birds and the birds fly South
Even Young Buck can vouch, when the doubts was out
Who gave the West coast mouth-to-mouth? (Hahaha)
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
From the beginnin' to the end, losers lose, winners win
This is real we ain't got to pretend
The cold world that we in, is full of pressure and pain
I thought it would change, it's stayin' the same
How many of them boys is witcha'
When you had that little TV you had to hit on to get a picture
I'm walking with a snub, 'cause niggas do a lot of slick talkin'
In the club 'til they coughin' on the rug
Ain't never had much but a Walkman and a bud
My role model is gone snortin' up his drug
Bad enough they want me to choke, my boy just got poked in the throat
Now it's an RIP shirt in my coat
Now I'm speedin', reminiscin'
Holdin' my weed in, never listen
If I see him I'ma lift 'em
And maybe that'll even the score
But if not, it'll be me on the floor
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
I started out at 15, scared as hell
I took 30 off a pack and I made them sales
As a youth, man I used to hustle for loot
With that lil' deuce-deuce and my triple fat goose
Sippin' Easy Jesus, rockin' a Alesis
My momma whipped me when she found my pieces
I look back on life and thank God I'm blessed
We the best on the planet so forget the rest
You know I'm still nice with my cook game
Look man, it's a hood thang; that's why I'm loved in Brook-lyn
I handle mine just like a real nigga should
If I do some time homey, I'm still all good
Let me show you what a thug 'bout, born to die
I took the bullets outta 50 put 'em in my fo'-five
And I ain't even got my feet wet yet
A seven figure nigga who ain't seen a worthy check
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Yeah, let's take 'em back
Sí, vamos a llevarlos de vuelta
Uh huh
Uh huh
Comin' up I was confused, my mommy kissin' a girl
Creciendo estaba confundido, mi mamá besando a una chica
Confusion occurs comin' up in the cold world
La confusión ocurre creciendo en un mundo frío
Daddy ain't around, probably out commitin' felonies
Papá no está cerca, probablemente cometiendo delitos
My favorite rapper used to sing, "Check check out My Melody"
Mi rapero favorito solía cantar, "Revisa, revisa mi melodía"
I wanna live good, so shit I sell dope
Quiero vivir bien, así que mierda, vendo droga
For a four finger ring, one of them gold ropes
Para un anillo de cuatro dedos, una de esas cadenas de oro
Nana told me if I passed I'd get a sheepskin coat
Nana me dijo que si pasaba conseguiría un abrigo de piel de oveja
If I can move a few packs I'd get the hat, now that'd be dope
Si puedo mover algunos paquetes conseguiría el sombrero, eso sería genial
Tossed and turned in my sleep that night
Me revolví y giré en mi sueño esa noche
Woke up the next mornin', niggas had stole my bike
Me desperté la mañana siguiente, los negros habían robado mi bicicleta
Different day, same shit, ain't nothin' good in the hood
Día diferente, misma mierda, no hay nada bueno en el barrio
I'd run away from this bitch and never come back if I could
Huiría de esta perra y nunca volvería si pudiera
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
Odiarlo o amarlo, el perdedor está en la cima
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Y voy a brillar, amigo, hasta que mi corazón se detenga
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
Adelante, envidiame, soy el MVP del rap
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Y no voy a ninguna parte, así que puedes conocerme

I told Dre from the gate "I'd carry the heat for ya"
Le dije a Dre desde la puerta "Llevaría el calor por ti"
First mixtape song I inherited beef for ya
Primera canción de mixtape heredé la carne de res por ti
Gritted my teeth for ya, G-G-G-G for ya
Rechiné mis dientes por ti, G-G-G-G por ti
Put Compton on my back when you was in need of soldiers
Puse a Compton en mi espalda cuando necesitabas soldados
At my last show I threw away my N.W.A. gold
En mi último show tiré mi oro de N.W.A.
I had the whole crowd yellin "Free Yayo!"
Tenía a toda la multitud gritando "¡Libera a Yayo!"
So niggas better get up outta mine
Así que los negros mejor que se vayan de la mía
For I creep and turn your projects into Columbine
Antes de que me arrastre y convierta tus proyectos en Columbine
And I'm rap's MVP
Y soy el MVP del rap
Don't make me remind y'all what happened in D.C
No me hagas recordarte lo que pasó en D.C
This nigga ain't Gotti, he pretend
Este negro no es Gotti, él finge
Mad at us 'cause Ashanti got a new boyfriend
Enojado con nosotros porque Ashanti tiene un nuevo novio
And it seems your lil' rat turned out to be a mouse
Y parece que tu pequeña rata resultó ser un ratón
This beef shit is for the birds and the birds fly South
Esta mierda de carne es para los pájaros y los pájaros vuelan al sur
Even Young Buck can vouch, when the doubts was out
Incluso Young Buck puede dar fe, cuando las dudas estaban fuera

This is real we ain't got to pretend
Esto es real, no tenemos que fingir
The cold world that we in, is full of pressure and pain
El frío mundo en el que estamos, está lleno de presión y dolor
I thought it would change, it's stayin' the same
Pensé que cambiaría, pero sigue igual
How many of them boys is witcha'
¿Cuántos de esos chicos están contigo?
When you had that little TV you had to hit on to get a picture
Cuando tenías esa pequeña tele que tenías que golpear para obtener una imagen
I'm walking with a snub, 'cause niggas do a lot of slick talkin'
Voy caminando con un arma, porque los negros hablan mucho en el club
In the club 'til they coughin' on the rug
Hasta que tosen en la alfombra
Ain't never had much but a Walkman and a bud
Nunca tuve mucho, solo un Walkman y un porro
My role model is gone snortin' up his drug
Mi modelo a seguir se ha ido esnifando su droga
Bad enough they want me to choke, my boy just got poked in the throat
Ya es bastante malo que quieran que me ahogue, mi chico acaba de ser apuñalado en la garganta
Now it's an RIP shirt in my coat
Ahora hay una camiseta RIP en mi abrigo
Now I'm speedin', reminiscin'
Ahora estoy acelerando, recordando
Holdin' my weed in, never listen
Sosteniendo mi hierba, nunca escucho
If I see him I'ma lift 'em
Si lo veo, lo levantaré
And maybe that'll even the score
Y quizás eso equilibre la balanza
But if not, it'll be me on the floor
Pero si no, seré yo en el suelo
