Listen: Jill Scott "Hate on Me"

If I could give you the world

On a silver platter

Would it even matter

You’d still be mad at me

If I could find in all this

A dozen roses

Which I would give to you

You’d still be miserable

In reality

I’m gone be who I be

And I don’t feel no fault

For all the lies that you bought

You can try as you may

Break me down but I say

That it ain’t up to you

Gone and do what you do

Hate on me hater

Now or later

Cuz I’m gonna do me

You’ll be mad baby (go head and hate)

Go head and hate on me hater

I’m not afraid of

What I gotta to pay for

You can hate on me

Ooh if I gave you peaches

Out my own garden

And I made you a peach pie

Would you slap me out

Wonder if I gave you diamonds

Out of my own womb

Would you feel the love in that

Or ask why not the moon

If I gave you sanity

For the whole of humanity

Have all the solutions

For the pain and pollution

No matter where I live

Despite the things I give

You’ll always be this way

So go head and hate

Hate on me hater

Either now or later

Cuz I’m gonna do me (I’m gonna do me)

You’ll be mad baby (go head and hate)

Go head and hate on me hater

I’m not afraid of

What I got I paid for

You can hate on me

Hate on me hater

Either now or later

Cuz I’m gonna do me (I’m gonna do me)

You’ll be mad baby (go head and hate)

Go head and hate on me hater

I’m not afraid of

What I got I paid for

You can hate on me

You cannot hate on me

Cuz my mind is free

Fill my destiny

So shall it be

You cannot hate on me

Cuz my mind is free

Fill my destiny

So shall it be

You cannot hate on me

Hate on me hater

Cuz my mind is free

Now or later

Fill my destiny

Cuz I’m gonna do me

So shall it be

You’ll be mad baby

You cannot hate on me

Go head and hate on me hater

Cuz my mind is free

I’m not afraid of

Fill my destiny

What I got I paid for

So shall it be

You can hate on me

You cannot hate
