“Hate It Or Luv It”, the tenth cut on Central Cee’s debut mixtape Wild West, is an ode to his rise throughout the UK Rap scene and is a testament of in which ways he successfully proved his doubters wrong.
[Intro]
Hate it or love it, the underdogs on top
Can't see my guys as much, the block got hot and they want that drop
The music ting just popped, just in time 'cause the spot got hot
Stop that, start that, get that wok, gotta take that risk and collect that...
[Verse 1]
Hate it or love it
We're forced to grow up quick in the hood that I live in, it ain't no kidding
Love and hate, a similar ting, you can hate or love me, there ain't no difference
It got hard, we made it work, I thought 'bout winning, you thought 'bout quitting
Somethin' in my mind told me it weren't time to slide, went back and aborted that mission
Flex got slappеd with seven 'cause hе got caught in the kitchen slipping
I held him down and sent some flowers 'round to his missus when she was tripping
The phone was off, show man the same love as if the phone was ripping
A lot of man missing, as soon as my bro went jail and the O stop flipping
[Chorus]
Hate it or love it, the underdogs on top
Can't see my guys as much, the block got hot and they want that drop
The music ting just popped, just in time 'cause the spot got hot
Stop that, start that, get that wok, gotta take that risk and collect that guap (That guap)
Hate it or love it, the underdogs on top
Can't see my guys as much, the block got hot and they want that drop
The music ting just popped, just in time 'cause the spot got hot
Stop that, start that, get that wok, gotta take that risk and collect that guap
[Verse 2]
Hate it or love it
It can get awkward when these girls ask me "What do you do for a living?"
They see the chain and get intrigued, I say "I do music, innit"
When I touch the mic, I speak my mind and that's when the truth starts spilling
My day one done me dirty, I still rock with him, I'm too forgiving
But don't get it twisted (Twisted)
I'll cut man off and I'll keep it moving, I'm antisocial
My people skills, they need improving
You see your own people moving snaky when they don't feel included
But me and mine are fine, if I'm eating food, they're eating too
[Chorus]
Hate it or love it, the underdogs on top
Can't see my guys as much, the block got hot and they want that drop
The music ting just popped, just in time 'cause the spot got hot
Stop that, start that, get that wok, gotta take that risk and collect that guap (That guap)
Hate it or love it, the underdogs on top
Can't see my guys as much, the block got hot and they want that drop
The music ting just popped, just in time 'cause the spot got hot
Stop that, start that, get that wok, gotta take that risk and collect that guap

Writing these songs is almost like a diary for me now, a chance to get things off my chest. I’m not sure where it comes from but I’m quite observant. I’ve always been that way. I can learn from other people’s mistakes—whether that’s people around me, or people I don’t know that I see out at the pub....
