Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I could give you the world on a silver platter
Would it even matter?
You'd still be mad at me
If I could find in all this a dozen roses
Which I would give to you?
You'd still be miserable
[Verse 2]
In reality
I'm gon' be who I be
And I don't feel no fault
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may
Break me down, but I say
That it ain't up to you
Gonna do what you do
[Verse 3]
Hate on me, hater
Now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby (Go 'head and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me, hater
I'm not afraid, uh
What I gotta to pay for
You can hate on me
[Verse 4]
Ooh, if I gave you peaches out my own garden
And I made you a peach pie
Would you slap me? I
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
[Verse 5]
No matter where I live
Despite the things I give
You'll always be this way
So go 'head and
[Verse 6]
Hate on me, hater (I don't mind, no, no)
Now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me (I'm gonna do me)
You'll be mad, baby (Go 'head and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me, hater
I'm not afraid, uh
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
[Verse 7]
Hate on me, hater (I don't mind)
Now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me (I'm gonna do me)
You'll be mad, baby (Go head and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me, hater
I'm not afraid, uh
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
[Verse 8]
(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 mad, baby
(You cannot hate on me) Go 'head and hate on me, hater
('Cause my mind is free)
(Feel my destiny) I'm not afraid, uh
(So shall it be) What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
(You cannot hate)
