The Hate U Give Lyrics

And the hate that you give

Is the hate that you get

Hood niggas don't know what love is

So by the book of the streets we live

And the hate that you give

Is the hate that you get

Hood niggas don't know what love is

So by the book of the streets we live

I see my momma cry I know they want me dead

My momma looking in my hand baby what is dat

This world is dangerous

My Life a game of risk so imma play dis game until I fucking win

These ops are oppositions I know you think I'm tripping

How we have the same color but you always switch

That's not the only issue we gotta worry bout these badges and these nigga in blue

Put us in a cage like some animal

Couple years they let us go to a world we never know

Some people get the worst and get killing on the spot

Now his face on a shirt and the blocking is getting hot

The block is chanting and screaming they got a meaning no freedom we take they people it's even

I'm aint preaching to the choir division don't make us higher

The law we undermine it We hate it but can't fight it

A victim I can't deny it The pain I live in silence

I live and die trying Cuz violence I can't abide in

I'm losing em call me Biden

This my declaration I'm fighting for betta day

I'm striving for betta change I'm moving can't stay in place

My history ain't die in vein Our hands are all stained

I'm screaming yeah fuck hate Cuz hatred don't show changes

See hearts but not faces See people but not races

And the hate that you give

Is the hate that you get

Hood niggas don't know what love is

So by the book of the streets we live

And the hate that you give

Is the hate that you get

Hood niggas don't know what love is

So by the book of the streets we live
