ProG - Why They Hate Me lyrics

[Verse 1] Lost in time Lost in rhymes Done with peace signs cause you're in a decline Signed a few papers, you should probably resign In a chair I recline cause I finally realize that I have it, and don't lack it Voice as my gun so you know I pack it We hit it back and fourth till you lost a racquet One day I'ma have racks you'll have Ramen noodle packets As I sit in the dark and my brain lights a spark That my rhyme's a real art to all those since the start You were here when we starved So you'll be here while we feast The game is a puzzle and you're a crucial piece But a message to the phonies Talk sh** on the low key When I got a crew you'll be the only ones lonely Think you're a horse, but you're more like a pony I'll get played by these stations, like my name is Sony [Pre-Hook] All the haters the same All the haters the same All the haters the same All the haters don't wanna see me in the game [Hook] Maybe they hate me cause they ain't me Maybe I'm a masterpiece, but they can't paint me Maybe they hate me cause they ain't me Maybe I'm a force, but they can't restrain me Maybe they hate me cause they ain't me Maybe I'm a masterpiece, but they can't paint me Maybe they hate me cause they ain't me Maybe I'm a force, but they can't restrain me [Verse 2] I'm me and there's nothing I would change If you're gonna be fake, get up out my lane Cause I'm ridin' too fast If you're not first, you're last And I'm a new me so screw my past And screw my feelings, I guess they don't matter Hate after hate I can sense a new pattern And I can sense worse, talk behind my back I got proof of your smack-talk and that's a damn fact But all of you got so many opinions Do what Simon says, just a bunch of little minions Look into my eyes, say what you gotta say But don't ever talk when my back is turned away And I've turned some dreams into reality A studio and a name that suits my personality But personally, I got higher ambitions To make it to the top I gotta beat my competition [Pre-Hook] All the haters the same All the haters the same All the haters the same All the haters don't wanna see me in the game [Hook] Maybe they hate me cause they ain't me Maybe I'm a masterpiece, but they can't paint me Maybe they hate me cause they ain't me Maybe I'm a force, but they can't restrain me Maybe they hate me cause they ain't me Maybe I'm a masterpiece, but they can't paint me Maybe they hate me cause they ain't me Maybe I'm a force, but they can't restrain me [Verse 3] Quest for a spot on a roster of a label And a paper and a pen just sittin' on the table With a blank line that says; 'Sign Here' Inviting me to work, guess it says, 'Grind Here' And I'm willing to grind for anyone that believes Between the lines is probably something you should read Cause you're so ignorant, but ignorance is bliss I climbed up a mountain to learn you'd push me off a cliff
