Jay Z - Some People Hate

[Intro: Refrain]

That old fashioned word

It's a word called love

Called looooove

Called looo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-ove

[Intro: Jay-Z]

Oh, this must be the way the nigga Pac felt when he made

Me Against the World, All Eyez on Me

Y'all niggas got me feelin' like all eyes on me, me against the world

Mmm, y'all got me on my shit

Thought niggas would appreciate what I did to this game

Being that I'm flesh of your flesh, blood of your blood

Come from the same hood you come from

We share basically the same stories

Thought niggas would appreciate what I came and did

Since ninety-six, every year

Something must be seriously wrong with the world

I know y'all ain't hating

[Chorus: Jay-Z & (sample)]

(Some people hate) Don't tell me niggas is hating

(Some people hate) Uhh, nah, you know what I think?

(Some people hate) I think...

(I think they've lost their minds) Think y'all lost your mind

Y'all got me on my shit

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

Raw, rough and rugged, when addressing the mass public

My attitude is fuck it 'cause motherfuckers love it

Got a chip on my shoulder the size of the Golden Nugget in Vegas

And fuck being famous, I came to get the butters

I came from the gutter, my success in this game

Is sort of like Pro-jectic Justice

A payment for brushes with police officers

A peace offering from the Gods for the streets I was tossed in

Til I'm deceased in a coffin

I'ma be a beast on these beats releasing early and often

Please, your disdain for the brothers ain't gon change the numbers

It's the strengthening of chain among us

Please we ain't afraid of none of ya's; who want it with us?

Ain't nuttin changed since the ninety-six summer, c'mon

[Chorus: Jay-Z & (sample)]

(Some people hate) Yeah

(Some people hate) Uh, uh, uh

(Some people hate) Yeah! You know what I think?

(I think they've lost their minds) They say success breeds envy

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]

I guess it's just the penalty of leadership

I guess I'm what niggas wanna be and shit

Or niggas just bored wanna be in shit

'Fore they get to rappin', start believing it, think they Ali and shit

I roll with the punches so I survive

I bob and weave, move my feet from side to side

I'm back, stronger than ever, surprise, surprise

They try to take me out the game but I's alive

It's like a old Negro spiritual, but I mastered Tobey

With a splash of Monster Kody, shoot faster than Kobe, nigga

You bastards know me, the one and only

Big homie from the Roc, I think you pastors lonely

You need Jesus in your life

It's either that or y'all gon' make me

Put the double Desert Eagles in your life, nigga

[Chorus: Jay-Z & (sample)]

(Some people hate)

(I know nigga's ain't hating man, let me find out)

(Some people hate) Jealousy is a weak emotion, man

(Some people kill their brothers)

C'mon man, be stronger than that.. you know what I think?

(I think they've lost their minds) You'll be alright though

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]

Au contraire, nigga, I am here 'cause I earned this shit

By riding out when niggas had learners' permit

We bring then knives out or we let them burners spit

I bring them pies out if niggas wanna burn the strip

Bring your rides out, bring your buggy eyes out

Turn your six, I laid back in the Maybach

Nigga this the payback, I know you bitch niggas from way back

Niggas wanna clown, but the pound, it don't play that

Get yourself found drowned where the lake at

Run up on 'em notoriously, take that, take that

And then we coming where your wake at

Eight maniac cats strapped with gats, you can hate that

Face facts, fake rap cats

Can't take back what I took back to the Brook, look

[Outro: Sample]

Some people hate

Some people hate

Some people kill their brothers

I think they've lost their minds

And I'm hung up.. ohh..
