I Hate U Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

1 Let me start off this letter saying I don't like you

2 Scared of you, but I will fight you

3 I stare at the ceiling and think about you

4 Curiosity killing me, thinking of when I'ma meet you

5 You introduced yourself to so many others, mothers, sisters and brothers

6 Children and babies, drive me crazy, I wonder

7 Why you love people that love people that do right?

8 Is it rocket science to you, or is it just your type?

9 One of my biggest fears

10 Is waking up four in the morning and gotta hear you met one of my peers

11 Or maybe a family member that you thought was cool

12 Or maybe a person that I'll never meet cause of you

13 You, son of a bitch, and I wish you never existed

14 And I swear I'd blow your brains out if you paid me a visit

15 But that's not realistic, cause you'll never write

16 But I'ma still send this letter off, P.O. Box

17 And when you get it

18 [Chorus]

19 Please take it personal

20 Please take it personal

21 Please take it personal

22 Because it's personal

23 Let me continue this letter saying I don't like you

24 I'm scared of you, but I will fight you

25 Should be ashamed of the moves you make

26 The pain you bring, the sorrow and the hearts you break

27 Every day you remind me that you're always there

28 Cause every time I come around, someone's getting shot down

29 And all I say is a prayer, so help me Lord

30 Then the Lord talk back, I can't help you boy

31 That's fucked up, my luck's fucked, was cursed before birth

32 And what's fucked up, I gotta live my life with the hurt

33 Of knowing that you're everlasting, dwelling upon the masses

34 Of the earth, fatal assassins snatch your bodies

35 Probably, on my notepad as I write

36 Why the fuck you wanna take my life?

37 Sooner or later, I'm tired and weary and my gray hairs are not in my favor

38 So when I write on this paper, it's real talk, so

39 [Chorus]

40 [Kendrick Lamar as 'Death' (screwed vocals)]

41 Let me start off this letter saying I don't like you too

42 And the reason why we haven't met because I've been busy dude

43 But ever since grade school I watched your every move

44 You slipped up a few times

45 I gave you a pass, so don't say I ain't sympathetic

46 But you can bet it, your curiosity, I'ma dead it

47 Everybody wanna know why I act this way

48 Let's just say, I had a bad day

49 Matter of fact everyday, gotta take it out on somebody

50 And you could probably find me wherever the wolves parade

51 I was born to be a killjoy, I'm a old brat

52 Conceived by Adam and Eve, so who you mad at?

53 Not me, see me, I'm just doing my job

54 And you ducking me is mos def an odd

55 So why send this letter as if I never knew you?

56 I'd rather knock on your door and just give it to you

57 [Ab-Soul talking]

58 It's everywhere, the streets, the corners

59 The coroners, the morgues

60 Cemeteries, hospitals

61 Heard about 'em when I was little

62 Tomorrow's not promised

63 Cause any day he can be knocking at your front door

64 War, genocide, homicide

65 Suicide, all coincide

66 Signed and sealed by the living

67 Make it, don't take it

68 [Chorus]
