Why do you hate me Why do you hate me Why do you hate me Please tell me why, why do you hate me America, why do you hate me Mr officer, why do you hate me Yo Donnie, why do you hate me Yeah you damn right that I’m angry I’m young, black and gifted For far too long I been a witness To these hatin' ass racists Dirty looks on they faces Some people do recognize the problems But they be complacent Nah they ain't really down to solve 'em And others refute oppression when it's blatant In times of injustice your silence is a statement This is America where the cops are assailants Land of the free, home of the brave Where they killed the indigenous and turned 'em into slaves Things Dr King rebuked we dealin' with today God forbid you speak up they’ll twist what you say Why does the color of my skin make you so afraid Why is it that people of color always get portrayed As thugs, killers and addicts I ain't gonna have it You the ones thats out here with the evil habits Always playin' stupid but your heart full of malice Some of you have a real chemical imbalance What we dealin' with is tragic And I won't be silent Did you peep how it was a white cop in disguise In Minneapolis that started the whole damn riot Caught on film and his ex-wife identified him But they don't wanna talk about that They’d rather change the narrative to fit their agenda God bless the white people that actually defend us You get unpaid leave, bail, and found not guilty We can be innocent and we get a life sentence So don’t you pretend that your system don’t resent us If I resist you’ll kill me If I comply you’ll kill me If I’m polite you’ll kill me God I hope cameras in site before you kill me Through your bullshit I see the innuendos When I walk by and you roll up your windows Wow But thanks for the hashtag it was a real nice memento You know what it feels like to see flashing lights and fear for your life I don't fear for myself but I fear for my wife They’ll even break into your home broad daylight And they'll kill you And they’ll still find a way to ask Well, hmm, what did he do? Shits crazy Don't throw salt in my wounds and then pretend you don't hate me Why do you hate me Why do you hate me Why do you hate me Yeah you damn right that I’m angry America, why do you hate me Mr officer, why do you hate me Yo Donnie, why do you hate me Yeah you damn right that I’m angry
