Hate Me Now (featuring Puff Daddy) - Nas

Its been a long time

been a long time comin'

Looks like the death of me now

But you know, there’s no turning back now.

This is what makes me.

This is what I am.

You can hate me now (QB)

But I won’t stop now (Real Niggas)

Cause I can’t stop now (Bravehearts)

You can hate me now (C'mon)

But I won’t stop now

Cause I can’t stop now

You can hate me now

You can hate me nooow

Do it now, Do It now,

do it now

Don’t hate me, hate the money I see, clothes that I buy

Ice that I wear, clothes that I try

Close your eyes, picture me rollin,

sixes, money foldin

Bitches honeys that swollen

the riches, nas get in ya most critically acclaimed pulitzer prize winner

best storyteller thug narrator my style’s greater

model dater, big threat to a lot of you haters

commentators bring aside try watchin my paper

almost a decade quite impressive

most of the best is in the essence

for this rap shit that I stand for

expanding more to the big screen

bill gates dreams

but it seems youd rather see me in jail

with state dreams

want me off the scene fast

but good things last

like your favorite m.c.

still makin’some mean cash

first rapper to bring a platinum plaque

back to the projects

but you still wanna hate, be my guest

I suggest

Do it now

Do it now, I told you do it now

You wanna hate me then hate me what can I do?

but keep gettin money

funny I was just like you

I had to hustle hard never give up until I made it now y’all sayin that’s a clever nigga

nothing to play with

hate on me, I blew but I’m the same ol G People warn me, when you’re on top there’s envy

took my niggas out the hood but you doubt on us sayin’we left the hood

but can’t get it out of us My bad, should I step out my shoes

give 'em to you?

here’s my car and my house

you can live in that too

criticize when I flow for the streets

hate my dress code

Gucci this, Fendi that

what you expect hoe

nickname esco

took this game to its threshold

best flow I bet the whole U.S. know

try to make it like you the realest

but who the illest?

think we all know the answer to that

cause niggas feel this right

Do it now

Its a thin line between paper and hate

friends and snakes, nine millis and thirty-eights

Hell or the pearly gates

I was destined to come

predicted, blame God, he blew breath in my lungs

second to none, wicked turn wives to widows

shoot through satin pillows, the desolate one

took a little time to claim my spot

chairman of the board until this game stop

and I side with the Lord

ride for the cause

while driving, niggas shot out my doors

plottin, I’m sure to catch me with they glocks to my jaw

try stickin me up but I but I flipped on these ducks

Instead of me ambulances were picking them up niggas fear what they don’t understand

hate what they can’t conquer

guess its just a theory of man

became a monster, atop of the world

never fallin

I’m as real as they come

from day one, forever ballin

c’mon

(Do it now, do it now)

(do it now, do it now)

(c'mon)

(Hate me now, hate me now)

(C'mon niggas, c’mon niggas)

(do it now, get the shit over with)

(it ain’t gonna ever stop niggas)
