Hate It or Love It [G Unit Remix; Bonus Track]
Curtis James Jackson, Allan Wayne Felder, Norman Ray Harris, David Darnell Brown, Christopher Charles Lloyd, Ronald Baker, Jayceon Terrell Taylor, Marvin Bernard
Yeah, let's take 'em back
Uh huh
Comin' up I was confused, my mommy kissin' a girl
Confusion occurs comin' up in the cold world
Daddy ain't around, probably out commitin' 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'd get a sheepskin coat
If I can move a few packs I'd get the hat, now that'd be dope
Tossed and turned in my sleep that night
Woke up the next mornin', niggas had stole my bike
Different day, same shit, ain't nothin' good in the hood
I'd run away from this bitch and never come back if I could
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
I told Dre from the gate "I'd carry the heat for ya"
First mixtape song I inherited beef for ya
Gritted my teeth for ya, G-G-G-G for ya
Put Compton on my back when you was in need of soldiers
At my last show I threw away my N.W.A. gold
I had the whole crowd yellin "Free Yayo!"
So niggas better get up outta mine
For I creep and turn your projects into Columbine
And I'm rap's MVP
Don't make me remind y'all what happened in D.C
This nigga ain't Gotti, he pretend
Mad at us 'cause Ashanti got a new boyfriend
And it seems your lil' rat turned out to be a mouse
This beef shit is for the birds and the birds fly South
Even Young Buck can vouch, when the doubts was out
Who gave the West coast mouth-to-mouth? (Hahaha)
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
From the beginnin' to the end, losers lose, winners win
This is real we ain't got to pretend
The cold world that we in, is full of pressure and pain
I thought it would change, it's stayin' the same
How many of them boys is witcha'
When you had that little TV you had to hit on to get a picture
I'm walking with a snub, 'cause niggas do a lot of slick talkin'
In the club 'til they coughin' on the rug
Ain't never had much but a Walkman and a bud
My role model is gone snortin' up his drug
Bad enough they want me to choke, my boy just got poked in the throat
Now it's an RIP shirt in my coat
Now I'm speedin', reminiscin'
Holdin' my weed in, never listen
If I see him I'ma lift 'em
And maybe that'll even the score
But if not, it'll be me on the floor
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
I started out at 15, scared as hell
I took 30 off a pack and I made them sales
As a youth, man I used to hustle for loot
With that lil' deuce-deuce and my triple fat goose
Sippin' Easy Jesus, rockin' a Alesis
My momma whipped me when she found my pieces
I look back on life and thank God I'm blessed
We the best on the planet so forget the rest
You know I'm still nice with my cook game
Look man, it's a hood thang; that's why I'm loved in Brook-lyn
I handle mine just like a real nigga should
If I do some time homey, I'm still all good
Let me show you what a thug 'bout, born to die
I took the bullets outta 50 put 'em in my fo'-five
And I ain't even got my feet wet yet
A seven figure nigga who ain't seen a worthy check
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Yeah, let's take 'em back
Sim, vamos levá-los de volta
Uh huh
Uh huh
Comin' up I was confused, my mommy kissin' a girl
Crescendo eu estava confuso, minha mãe beijando uma garota
Confusion occurs comin' up in the cold world
Confusão ocorre crescendo em um mundo frio
Daddy ain't around, probably out commitin' felonies
Papai não está por perto, provavelmente cometendo delitos
My favorite rapper used to sing, "Check check out My Melody"
Meu rapper favorito costumava cantar, "Confira minha melodia"
I wanna live good, so shit I sell dope
Eu quero viver bem, então merda, eu vendo droga
For a four finger ring, one of them gold ropes
Por um anel de quatro dedos, uma dessas correntes de ouro
Nana told me if I passed I'd get a sheepskin coat
Nana me disse que se eu passasse, eu ganharia um casaco de pele de ovelha
If I can move a few packs I'd get the hat, now that'd be dope
Se eu pudesse mover alguns pacotes, eu conseguiria o chapéu, isso seria legal
Tossed and turned in my sleep that night
Virei e revirei na minha cama aquela noite
Woke up the next mornin', niggas had stole my bike
Acordei na manhã seguinte, os caras tinham roubado minha bicicleta
Different day, same shit, ain't nothin' good in the hood
Dia diferente, mesma merda, não tem nada de bom no gueto
I'd run away from this bitch and never come back if I could
Eu fugiria dessa vadia e nunca voltaria se pudesse
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
Ame ou odeie, o azarão está por cima
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
E eu vou brilhar, mano, até meu coração parar
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
Vá em frente, inveje-me, eu sou o MVP do rap
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
E eu não vou a lugar nenhum, então você pode me conhecer

I told Dre from the gate "I'd carry the heat for ya"
Eu disse a Dre desde o início "Eu carregaria o calor por você"
First mixtape song I inherited beef for ya
Primeira música de mixtape eu herdei a briga por você
Gritted my teeth for ya, G-G-G-G for ya
Rangeu meus dentes por você, G-G-G-G por você
Put Compton on my back when you was in need of soldiers
Coloquei Compton nas minhas costas quando você precisava de soldados
At my last show I threw away my N.W.A. gold
No meu último show, joguei fora meu ouro N.W.A.
I had the whole crowd yellin "Free Yayo!"
Eu tinha a multidão inteira gritando "Liberte Yayo!"
So niggas better get up outta mine
Então, os caras é melhor sair do meu caminho
For I creep and turn your projects into Columbine
Antes que eu me arraste e transforme seus projetos em Columbine
And I'm rap's MVP
E eu sou o MVP do rap
Don't make me remind y'all what happened in D.C
Não me faça lembrá-los do que aconteceu em D.C
This nigga ain't Gotti, he pretend
Esse cara não é Gotti, ele finge
Mad at us 'cause Ashanti got a new boyfriend
Bravo conosco porque Ashanti tem um novo namorado
And it seems your lil' rat turned out to be a mouse
E parece que seu pequeno rato se transformou em um camundongo
This beef shit is for the birds and the birds fly South
Essa merda de briga é para os pássaros e os pássaros voam para o sul
Even Young Buck can vouch, when the doubts was out
Até Young Buck pode confirmar, quando as dúvidas estavam por aí
Who gave the West coast mouth-to-mouth? (Hahaha)
Quem deu à costa oeste boca-a-boca? (Hahaha)
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top

Desde o começo até o fim, perdedores perdem, vencedores vencem
This is real we ain't got to pretend
Isso é real, não precisamos fingir
The cold world that we in, is full of pressure and pain
O mundo frio em que estamos, está cheio de pressão e dor
I thought it would change, it's stayin' the same
Eu pensei que mudaria, está ficando o mesmo
How many of them boys is witcha'
Quantos desses garotos estão contigo
When you had that little TV you had to hit on to get a picture
Quando você tinha aquela pequena TV que tinha que bater para obter uma imagem
I'm walking with a snub, 'cause niggas do a lot of slick talkin'
Estou andando com um snub, porque os negros falam muito
In the club 'til they coughin' on the rug
No clube até que estejam tossindo no tapete
Ain't never had much but a Walkman and a bud
Nunca tive muito, além de um Walkman e um broto
My role model is gone snortin' up his drug
Meu modelo de papel se foi cheirando sua droga
Bad enough they want me to choke, my boy just got poked in the throat
Ruim o suficiente eles querem que eu engasgue, meu garoto acabou de ser esfaqueado na garganta
Now it's an RIP shirt in my coat
Agora é uma camisa RIP no meu casaco
Now I'm speedin', reminiscin'
Agora estou acelerando, relembrando
Holdin' my weed in, never listen
Segurando minha erva, nunca ouço
If I see him I'ma lift 'em
Se eu o ver, vou levantá-lo
And maybe that'll even the score
E talvez isso equilibre o placar
But if not, it'll be me on the floor
Mas se não, serei eu no chão

Bebendo Easy Jesus, balançando um Alesis
My momma whipped me when she found my pieces
Minha mãe me bateu quando encontrou meus pedaços
I look back on life and thank God I'm blessed
Olho para trás na vida e agradeço a Deus por ser abençoado
We the best on the planet so forget the rest

You know I'm still nice with my cook game
Você sabe que ainda sou bom no meu jogo de cozinhar
Look man, it's a hood thang; that's why I'm loved in Brook-lyn
Olha mano, é uma coisa de gueto; é por isso que sou amado no Brook-lyn
I handle mine just like a real nigga should
Eu lido com o meu como um verdadeiro negro deveria
If I do some time homey, I'm still all good

Let me show you what a thug 'bout, born to die
Deixe-me mostrar o que é um bandido, nascido para morrer
I took the bullets outta 50 put 'em in my fo'-five
Eu tirei as balas do 50 e as coloquei no meu quarenta e cinco
