When The Hate Come

(album: Live At Daddy Macs - 2023)

Yo, life is just like chess, you can't play dumb
But keep playing ya part until ya day come
Gotta get back to work, soon as ya break done
Soon as you doing summing, right, that's when the hate come

Soon as you doing summing, right, that's when the hate come

Yo, don't compare me to my first week ticket sales
If the fans determine yo' worth, then you really failed
I'm doing what I love, I could be sitting in a shell
They hype you up to live a life until you in a cell
Keep us distracted from what's really going on
Now we stuck in the phones, it's curated and openly wrong
It's giving chronic agitation without playing the victim
Gotta watch ya back every time you wit' 'em
Fooled me once but you won't fool me twice

Yo, life is just like chess, you can't play dumb
But keep playing ya part until ya day come
Gotta get back to work, soon as ya break done
Soon as you doing summing, right, that's when the hate come

Soon as you doing summing, right, that's when the hate come

Peace, king, I striked out, I'm back to re-swing
Manifested, now my haters complain to my street team
Can't reach me, I'm turning parties into freak scenes
Had to raise the standards, so I gave Mike and Keys a ring
To each his own, they sleep, but won't be 'sleep for long
The leaders you follow, we don't like what they leaning on
We don't sip the tea
Miss me wit' all of the gossip, that's a godly fee
Possibly, I might even listen to what you offer me, I know the rule

Yo, life is just like chess, you can't play dumb
But keep playing ya part until ya day come
Gotta get back to work, soon as ya break done
Soon as you doing summing, right, that's when the hate come

Soon as you doing summing, right, that's when the hate come

Yo, loyalty over relevance
The success that I expect, I can't measure it
Sometimes I sit and reflect, it's too devilish
Still moving delicate, check the development
I know better, now, huh, ho niggas gon' help them hold niggas down
They say don't educate, just put a hole in they crown
Motivated from the days my phone wouldn't dial
Check me out now
The Wright one wit' a king disease, like God's son

Yo, life is just like chess, you can't play dumb
But keep playing ya part until ya day come
Gotta get back to work, soon as ya break done
Soon as you doing summing, right, that's when the hate come

Soon as you doing summing, right, that's when the hate come
