The love is fake
But the hate is real
The love is fake
But the hate is real
I got your back
I never lie
Save that shit
I've heard that bullshit before
My loyalty cannot be matched
Save that shit
I've heard that bullshit before
I ride for you
I die for you
Save that shit
I've heard that bullshit before
I'm there for you
I care for you
Save that shit
I've heard that bullshit before
When somebody hates you
Please believe this shit's real
They wish you bad luck
They wish you bad health
They want to see you sick, miserable and in pain
They want to see you choke
They want to see you broke
The hate is real
It's uncut
It's pure
It's not rare
It's easy to find
Ignorance breeds hate
Hate breeds war
Been that way since the beginning of time
The love is fake
But the hate is real
The love is fake
But the hate is real
I hate racists, so I'm guilty too
I'm from LA where the red try to kill the blue
I'm from the place where the kids hate the fuckin' cops
Where the street violence never stops
Hate is jealousy but some's deeper than that
The hater wants you gone
Dead on your back
Love ain't always fake but I don't trust it
Hate will have you killed and won't discuss it
When somebody tells you they love
That could be just a figure of speech
They might like you they might be cool with you
But when somebody hates you that shit is real
They fuckin hate you
