I know, I know

I know that when you look at me

That you’re hating what it is you see

I don’t, I don’t

I don’t know if it’s you or if it’s me

But your hatred is pretty clear to see

I march to a different drum

My beat got flavor

Full of sweetness to cancel out your bitterness

I’m not gonna stop

I’mma be who I am for eternity

You can stand over there looking sour

You can stand there for hours

But I ain’t gonna stop

The party do quit

Because somebody can’t get with it

I got a smile on my face

See can you savor it?

I ain’t gonna sugar coat or flavor it

So, listen to what I’m trying to tell you

I ain’t never gonna stop

I’m free to be me

I ain’t never gonna stop

I got my own beat

I don’t have to be like you, you, and you

With your shitty attitudes

I’m free to be me

And you’re free to be...

Chorus: A hater, a hater

A simple-minded shader

Like some trash floating in the clear blue sea

You’re trying to disrupt the flow in me

I said a hater, a hater

Hating on me

A shader, a shader

Just standing underneath my tree

I see you with the axe

But I’m ‘bout to relax

Cuz my soul you can’t hack

You’re a hater, a hater

A simple-minded debater

Can’t you see, can’t you see

I ain’t never gonna stop being me

Is it the way I walk and step?

Cuz this energy you can’t sap

I know it’s exhausting trying to bring me down

I can see it in your face

And that hard-etched frown

Keep on fucking with me

And you’ll be made a clown

You got that egg on your face

Now you’re in a fucked-up place

Calling me all out

Gotta listen to you shout

Can’t beat me with words

So, you gotta take it to another level

A level, a level, a lower fucking level

Barbaric and derelict your mind has to be

Left to fester and fizz out with ease

So, you mad at me

Cuz I got myself right

I can see the bright light

But your mind too small

And you hating on me

Don’t you know love

Is the only way to be free?

But you just can’t see

Cuz you’re too busy being...

Chorus: A hater...

I ain’t never gonna stop being me

I ain’t never gonna stop being me

Just because we got the same skin

Just because we come from the same place

Doesn’t mean I gotta walk, talk, and act like you

I’m American and I got the freedom and right

To choose what I like and do

Is it the way that I speak?

Is it the way that I act?

That makes you want to attack?

But evidently, it’s written clearly

You’re...

Chorus: A hater...

I ain’t never gonna stop being me...
