[*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.
