[*Z-Ro talking*]
Say Q, man feel this here
I don't know why these muthaf**ers be hatin' us the way they do
Every muthaf**in' day, all muthaf**in' day long
We just can't get no muthaf**in' rest
That's why I drink & smoke so muthaf**in' much.
You feel me? Get off my dick.
[Chorus: Z-Ro]
Why you be Hatin' Me day & night lately?
Your mad at me 'cause I don't buy the dreams that your sellin' lately.
[Z-Ro:]
I needed to get up off my rump & stack something
I was tired of walkin' around ready to plack something
Big heads, screwdrivers, spark plugs to break the gla**
Hold my bases of sellin' dope, anything to get that cash
I was gettin' grown faster than average n***as
Bills & mouths to feed, I needed cabbage n***a
Did a little rappin' on the side, but I was full time grind
'Til they ran up & 51 11 & shut it down
When I got out, I wanted to get some work & do it over
Instead I picked up a pen & got to jottin' in a folder
n***as was bobbin' they head, b**hes was bobbin' they head
The first time in my life I didn't worry 'about no feds
But I wasn't out the woods yet round shife too
n***as be k**in' each other over limelight fool
I ain't with it, f** a million, I just want what I earn
But they don't like it when I holler KMJ because it burns.
[Chorus: Z-Ro]
Why you be Hatin' Me day & night lately?
Your mad at me 'cause I don't buy the dreams that your sellin' lately.
[Z-Ro:]
If you wanna jam, you can grab a hold of my funk
But if you plan to take me off my game like I'm a chump
I won't punk about it, I'm a do my thing
Dumpin' on n***as from the turnin' lane
But it's burnin' man 'cause that's how it go down
n***as be tryin' to get you when you live in H-Town
And you throwed in the game
Wanna get you for your mouthpiece or your name
Have you givin' up hits havin' no change
Havin' more overdue bills, no strings
Not me, no more, it's a new day
I'm in a new ride & it's lookin' too gray.
Remember if you sew it it'll read right back
So when you treat somebody wrong the Heavens will handle that.
[Chorus: Z-Ro]
Why you be Hatin' Me day & night lately?
Your mad at me 'cause I don't buy the dreams that your sellin' lately.
[Z-Ro:]
Got a name for myself now, sellin' them tapes
I still be travelin' I-10 but I ain't sellin' no weight no more
Blue over gray 4 do' in & out the lanes
Steady keepin' my melodies runnin' in & out your brain
But I need my money 'cause ain't no workin' for free
If it ain't 2500 no appearances from the Z, man
Got to get my feet, man, got to be treated fair
Tryin' to put me on a back burner, I'm out of there
A veteran to the game, you can't do me like no hoe
When my crib got flooded you didn't help me, you let me float
Now you wanna exercise your contractual right
But if you f** me the first time, it ain't gon' be a twice
Recognize ain't no hate in my heart 'cause I'm a guard
I don't hate nobody, I just hate it when times get hard
In my new situation I'm havin' rich n***a troubles
Without the switch, I'd have in a ditch n***a troubles.
[Chorus: Z-Ro]
Why you be Hatin' Me day & night lately?
Your mad at me 'cause I don't buy the dreams that your sellin' lately.
