Hate Ourselves Songtext
von Bone Crusher

Listen, let that music hit you for about five seconds
You know it′s a lot of things in life
We as a people need to get, need to get our weight up, together
The struggle starts today people
Listen, here we go, yeah

In life sometimes things ain't what they seem
′Cause they say they love you, don't mean a damn thing
Sometimes it makes me wonder why
This pain, it hurts me deep inside
'Cause all I wanna do is give love (Give love)
But all they want is B-Move (B-Move)
So it brings out the thug in me (Huh?)
And all I want is my family with me (Tell ′em)
To share in the love of life
For my little shawties to eat right
It′s a short life that we live
And it's a lot that you can give
Get up and wait people (Tell ′em)


Tell 'em why we hate ourselves so
Please let me know
Why we hate ourselves so
I guess that′s how it goes

Yeah, the wars, the battles, the tussles, the scuffles
From a nobody to a legend, Gipp in here
I command your attention as if I was a band
You the people in the stands, understand?
I keep my lyrics slum and rigid
Young prospects watch my feet, don't miss my pivot
No matter the year, my gear stay consistent
I went from bones and blades to beautiful days and beautiful ways
Laying down the truth for a decade, respect it
I try to interject it, I say through the music
Need a medic? I′m dedicated
To my pen and my pistol, my family and my hood
I wish you nothing but good (Tell 'em)

Tell 'em why we hate ourselves so
Please let me know
Why we hate ourselves so
I guess that′s how it goes


Uh, we don′t love ourselves 'cause we
Hate what we see off in the mirror
Or people that′s been lied to and afflicted two-four-seven
Show us in the good book, where we go after heaven, Reverend
Swerving in your Benzes and taking off in your G4
Tell me the truth about my kinfolk
The po-po scared my aunt honey and gave her a stroke
I'm jammed up in coke, strung out on slopes
Justice ain′t no peace, ain't no love in these streets
And it′s a shame what a nigga got to do to feed his family
Trapping, scrapping for crumbs
I made my mistakes in the past, but I was young and dumb
Learn from the thugs, learn from the bums
Learn from the ghetto, learn from the slums
I can't forget about the struggle
I can't get by without the help from my
Sisters and my brothers (Ah, tell ′em)

Tell ′em why we hate ourselves so
Please let me know
Why we hate ourselves so
I guess that's how it goes

Never say never, I′m clever, cut 'em, butter gutter
Shut a motherfucker lips with my clip, take a trip to Ethiopia flip
A legendary underestimated, underrated, hated by the critics
But I spit it, make ′em get it, kick it when I hit your city
Hook me up with the best green they
Serve, I took a bird in the red eye
I'm working ′til I'm dead, I, the mission never ends
I'm up before them lazy-ass smoked-out kleptos
Stealing from they folk, true niggas stay low
Stay together ′til it′s over, staring
Out the window of my old green Rover
I'm never sober, I′m never sober (Tell 'em)

Tell ′em why we hate ourselves so
Please let me know
Why we hate ourselves so
I guess that's how it goes
