Hate Me Now

[00:37.23] Escobar Season has returned

[00:43.43] It's been a long time, been a long time comin'

[00:50.88] Looks like the death of me now

[00:54.59] But you know, there's no turning back now

[00:58.33] This is what makes me, this is what I am

[01:02.86] You can hate me now, (Q.B.) but I won't stop now (real niggas)

[01:08.47] Cause I can't stop now, (Bravehearts) you can hate me now (c'mon)

[01:13.52] But I won't stop now, cause I can't stop now

[01:19.09] You can hate me now, you can hate me now

[01:28.91] Don't hate me, hate the money I see, clothes that I buy

[01:32.10] Ice that I wear, clothes that I try, close your eyes

[01:34.81] Picture me rollin', sixes, money foldin'

[01:36.93] Bitches, honeys that swollen to riches, Nas get in ya

[01:39.86] Most critically acclaimed Pulitzer Prize winner

[01:42.51] Best storyteller, thug narrator, my style's greater

[01:45.17] Model dater, big threat to a lot of you haters

[01:47.56] Commentators ringside try watchin' my paper

[01:50.48] Almost a decade, quite impressive

[01:52.34] Most of the best is in the essence

[01:53.66] For this rap shit that I stand for

[01:55.52] Expandin' more to the big screen, Bill Gates dreams

[01:58.18] But it seems you'd rather see me in jail with state greens

[02:00.87] Want me off the scene fast, but good things last

[02:03.56] Like your favorite MC still makin' some mean cash

[02:06.48] First rapper to bring a platinum plaque back to the projects

[02:09.14] But you still wanna hate, be my guest, I suggest

[02:17.38] You can hate me now, (Q.B.) but I won't stop now (real niggas)

[02:22.77] Cause I can't stop now, (Bravehearts) you can hate me now (c'mon)

[02:28.08] But I won't stop now, cause I can't stop now

[02:33.65] You can hate me now, you can hate me now

[02:44.05] You wanna hate me then hate me, what can I do

[02:46.16] But keep gettin' money, funny I was just like you

[02:48.85] I had to hustle hard, never give up, until I made it

[02:51.78] Now y'all sayin' "that's a clever nigga, nothin' to play with"

[02:54.43] Hate on me, I blew but I'm the same O.G

[02:56.82] People warn me, when you're on top, there's envy

[02:59.74] Took my niggas out the hood, but you doubt on us

[03:02.47] Sayin' we left the hood but can't get it out of us

[03:04.85] My bad, should I step out my shoes, give 'em to you?

[03:07.79] Here's my cars and my house, you can live in that too

[03:10.71] Criticize when I flow for the streets, hate my dress code

[03:13.09] Gucci this, Fendi that, what you expect, ho?

[03:16.28] Nickname Esco, took this game to its threshold

[03:19.20] Best flow, I bet the whole U.S. know

[03:21.32] Try to make it like you the realest, but who the illest?

[03:23.98] Think we all know the answer to that, cause niggas feel this right

[03:32.48] You can hate me now, (Q.B.) but I won't stop now (real niggas)

[03:37.58] Cause I can't stop now, (Bravehearts) you can hate me now (c'mon)

[03:42.90] But I won't stop now, cause I can't stop now

[03:48.21] You can hate me now, you can hate me now

[03:58.57] It's a thin line between paper and hate

[04:00.70] Friends and snakes, nine millis and thirty-eights

[04:04.50] Hell or the pearly gates, I was destined to come

[04:08.74] Predicted, blame God, he blew breath in my lungs

[04:09.81] Second to none, wicked turn wives to widows

[04:11.93] Shoot through satin pillows, the desolate one

[04:14.34] Took a little time to claim my spot

[04:16.48] Chairman of the board until this game stop, and I side with the Lord

[04:19.41] Ride for the cause while drivin' niggas shot at my doors

[04:22.06] Plottin' I'm sure to catch me with they Glocks to my jaws

[04:24.71] Tried stickin' me up but I flipped on these ducks

[04:27.48] Instead of me, ambulances were picking them up

[04:30.41] Niggas fear what they don't understand, hate what they can't conquer

[04:34.15] Guess it's just the theory of man

[04:35.76] Became a monster, on top of the world, never fallin'

[04:38.69] I'm as real as they come from day one, forever ballin'

[04:41.69] C'mon

[04:46.95] You can hate me now, (Q.B.) but I won't stop now (real niggas)

[04:52.08] Cause I can't stop now, (Bravehearts) you can hate me now (c'mon)

[04:57.67] But I won't stop now, cause I can't stop now

[05:02.73] You can hate me now, you can hate me now

[05:08.08] You can hate me now, (C'mon, niggas!)

[05:11.26] But I won't stop now (Do it now! Get this shit over with!)

[05:14.46] It ain't gon' never stop, niggas!
