  • If I could give you the world
    On a silver platter
    Would even matter? You'd still be mad at me
    If I can find in all this a dozen roses
    Which I would give to you, you'd still be miserable
    In reality I'm gon' be who I be
    And I don't feel no faults for all the lies that you bought
    You can try as you may bring me down when I say
    That it ain't up to you, go on do what you do

    Hate on me hater
    Now or later
    'Cause I'm gonna do me
    You'll be made baby
    (Go head and hate)
    Go head and hate on me hater
    I'm not afraid of
    What I got I paid for
    You can hate on me

    Ooh if I gave you peaches out of my own garden
    And I made you a peach cobbler, would you slap me out?
    Wonder if I gave you diamonds out of my own womb
    Would you feel the love in that or ask "Why not the moon?"
    If I gave you sanity for the whole of humanity
    Had all the solutions for the pain and pollution
    No matter where I live, despite the things I give
    You'll always be this way, so go ahead and

    Hate on me hater
    Now or later
    'Cause I'm gonna do me
    You'll be made baby
    (Go ahead and hate)
    Go ahead and hate on me hater
    I'm not afraid of
    What I got I paid for
    You can hate on me
    Hate on me hater
    Now or later
    'Cause I'm gonna do me
    You'll be made baby
    (Go ahead and hate)
    Go ahead and hate on me hater
    I'm not afraid of
    What I got I paid for
    You can hate on me

    You cannot hate on me
    'Cause my mind is free
    Feel my destiny
    So shall it be
    You cannot hate on me
    'Cause my mind is free
    Feel my destiny
    So shall it be
    You cannot hate on me
    (Hate on me hater)
    'Cause my mind is free
    (Now or later)
    Feel my destiny
    ('Cause I'm gonna do me)
    So shall it be
    (You'll be made baby)
    You cannot hate on me
    (Go ahead and hate on my hater)
    'Cause my mind is free
    Feel my destiny
    (I'm not afraid of)
    So shall it be
    You cannot hate
