[Intro]
Ah
See, they say hatin' is hereditary, aha
Which means if yo daddy was a hater, and you mama is a hater, then yo broke-ass gonna be a hater, you hear?
It's just in your blood to obe one, man
But, it's cool 'cause i guess it's all part of the game, you know
You feel me? Don't hate tho, look at this
[Verse 1]
Here's a story 'bout a nigga named Hate
Who lived next door to this cat named Great
See Great did everything Great that he put his mind to
But Hate had a mind-state he was confined to
Had a chick named Misery, the neighborhood ho'
And the company she kept, you know how that go?
Me, I stayed on Prosperity Street and Success Lane
Was taught comin' up in the streets to respect game
This nigga Jealousy was always telling me how Envy don't like me
Envy wanna fight me, see Envy was a shiesty type a nigga
Who showed his discontent politely
Snake in the grass ass nigga that'd cross you soon as he get the chance
Type a nigga that'd throw salt on your plans
Teamed up with Hate, tried to shit on Great
'Cause when you make it to the top
This is what you'll await
With that said
[Chorus]
You see, If you ever wanted to ever be anything
There'll always be somebody that'd shoot down any dream
There'll always be haters, thats the way it is
Hater nigga marry hater bitches and have hater kids
And they be one big hater family...
It's gon' be one big hater family...
It's gon' be one big hater family...
It's gon' be one big hater family...
[Verse 2]
I studied the secret, know the laws of attraction
Knew what the consequences were for my actions
I laid the foundation but they acting
Like I didn't do nothing on my own to make this happen
Like, nigga was writing but I was rapping (Damn)
But everybody took the credit when it happened (Why?)
And I'm almost dead, I can feel it though
But niggas catch feelings when they feeling they ain't near you though
And there you go, your true colors show
He say, she say, it wasn't really nothing though
I'm still here, still down, still around
Lets do lunch this week 'cause next week I'm out of town (Damn, dawg)
Now they telling my mama he act different (Why?)
Just cause my black berry went to my assistant (Okay)
But shit is wicked on these mean streets
Some of my friends sleep and ya'll trying to win but then again
[Chorus]
If you ever wanted to ever be anything
There'll always be somebody that'd shoot down any dream
There'll always be haters, thats the way it is
Hater nigga marry hater bitches and have hater kids
And they be one big hater family...
It's gon' be one big hater family...
It's gon' be one big hater family...
It's gon' be one big hater family...
[Verse 3]
You was on the outside looking in
But now you're on the inside looking out
And as you think back to the things you did
When you was trying to get on, no one helped you out
Now when you ride by the haters (Look at the six)
And when you wave to the ladies (Look at his wrist)
Now everybody need a favor (Listen to this)
My definition of a hater, that's what this is
[Chorus]
If you ever wanted to ever be anything
There'll always be somebody that'd shoot down any dream
There'll always be haters, thats the way it is
Hater nigga marry hater bitches and have hater kids
And they be one big hater family...
It's gon' be one big hater family...
It's gon' be one big hater family...
It's gon' be one big hater family...
