The Game - Hate it or love it
Yea
Letґs takeґem back
Uh huh
Coming up I was confused
My mama kissing a girl
Confusion occurs
Coming up in a cold world
Daddy aint around
Probably out committing 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 get a sheep skin coat
If I could move a few packs
I get the hat
Now thatґll be dope
Tossed and turn in my sleep that night
Woke up the next morning
Niggaz done stole my bike
Different day, same shit
Ainґt nothing good in the hood
I run away from this bitch
And never come back if I could
[Chorus:]
[50 Cent]
Hate it or love it the under dogґs on top
And Iґm gon shine homie until my heart stop
[The Game]
Goґheadґn envy me
Iґm rapґs mvp
And I ainґt going no where
So you can get to know me
G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Unit
[Game]
On the grill of ma low rider
Guns on both sides
Right above the gold wires I four-fiveґem
Kill a nigga on ma song
And really do it
Thatґs the true meaning of a ghostrider
Ten gґz will take your daughter outta air forces
Believe you me homie, I know all about losses
Iґm from Compton, where the wrong colors, be cautious
One phone call, have your body dumped in Marcy
I stay strapped like car seats
Been banging since ma lilґ nigga, rob, got killed for his Barkleyґs
Thatґs ten years
I told Pooh in ґ95
Iґll kill you if you try me for my air-max 95ґs
Told Banks when I metґem Iґm a ride
And if I gotta die, rather homicide
I ainґt had 50 cent when ma grand-mama died
Now Iґm going back to Cali with ma jacob on
See how time fly?
[Chorus:]
[50 Cent]
Hate it or love it the under dogґs on top
And Iґm gon shine homie until my heart stop
[The Game]
Goґheadґn envy me
Iґm rapґs mvp
And I ainґt going no where
So you can get to know me
[50 Cent]
From the beginning to the end
Losers lose, winners win
This is real we aint gotta pretend
The cold world that we in
Itґs full of pressure and pain
Enough of me nigga now listen to Game
[Game]
Used to see 5-0 throw the crack by the bench
Now Iґm fucking with 5-0, itґs all starting to make sense
My Maґs happy, she aint gotta pay the rent
And she got a red bow on that brand new Benz
Waiting on Sha Money to land sitting in the range
Thinking how they spend 30 million dollars on airplanes
When thereґs kids starving
Pac is gone, and Brenda still throwing babies in the garbage
I wanna know whatґs going on like I hear Marvin
No school books
They use their wood to build coffins
Whenever Iґm in a booth
And I get exhausted
I think what if Marie Bank had got that abortion
I love you Ma
[Chorus:]
[50 Cent]
Hate it or love it the under dogґs on top
And Iґm gon shine homie until my heart stop
[The Game]
Goґheadґn envy me
Iґm rapґs mvp
And I ainґt going no where
So you can get to know me
“Hate It or Love It” sees Game and 50 Cent celebrating their rags-to-riches story over a sample of The Trammps‘ 1972 song, “Rubber Band.” This track was the third official single off Game’s 2005 debut album, and, along with “How We Do,” helped Game’s The Documentary go double platinum, reaching the number one spot on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts in May 2005.
