Plies - Why U Hate lyrics

rate me

When I asked the government, why ya'll hate us so much

When I asked the other color, why ya'll hate us so much

When I asked the law, why ya'll hate us so much

When I asked the prosocuters, why ya'll hate us so much

Is it our skin color or is it the way we talk

You hate us cause we us or you hate us cause we fought

Is it the way we live or is it the way we walk

We never had shit so it can't be nothing we bought

The shit ya'll took us through probably the reason we off

Our pride we still got it only thing we ain't lost

Defending ourselves shit that was something we was taught

We been through the roughest times but all of it ain't our fault

Wish I could add up the years in prison our peoples caught

The government done stripped us we ain't really have a choice

Yo people go to college my people go to court

Yo people was born with money my people was born broke

Yo people lived in mansions my people hung from ropes

Yo people had it made all my people had was hope

Yo people had help all my people heard was "no"

My people thought about it yo people cut our throats

The respect we had for one another shit wasn't even close

We had to entertain that was our only open do'

If we wanted to make it we had to rap, sang, or drive spokes

We could'ntafford a full ride shit my people po'

My people ain't mad yo people hate us though

But we the ones struggling so why ya'll hate us fo'

The police want us bad the judge hate us mo'

The jury think we guilty before we come through the do'

And ya'll will take out money but won't help us though

And ya'll biggest fear is to see my people grow

But our biggest fear is dying before we turn 24

And every law that's passed designed to sink us mo'

And every time we go to jail ya'll get paid tho'

But when we ask for money ya'll slam the do'

They say our president black but we can't tell though

We only got ourselve now that's what's real though

I know ya'll hate our guts that's how ya'll feel though

But ya'll ain't got to like us but let us live though

And cause we black bruh don't mean we steal though

And cause we from the ghetto don't mean we dumb though

We just as smart as ya'll but ya'll don't want the world to know

But all we want to know why ya'll hate us so much

Why ya'll hate us so much...
