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...
