Hate Me Now Lyrics


Begging your pardon
And mind you I ain’t trying to start no debate
No, but I got a question
Some of y’all gon’ love but surely some of y’all gon’ hate

See I’ve had women beg me for honesty
Been regretted cause the truth can be so mean
I’ve heard keep it real, I’ve heard a lot of me
Which way do I go? Do you even know?

But you get so mad when I tell you the truth
Honesty’s all that I got
Cause lying ain’t doing you no favors
Hate me now, love me later
Hate me now, love me later
Hate me now, love me later

You curious about the girl at the store
Is you serious?
Do you really wanna know?
I’m all for you
But yeah, she was beautiful
And now you’re mad
That’s just the way it goes
The truth can hurt
At first you will reject it
But later on I know you will respect it
So here’s a deal
You get out your field
At least you can say I kept it real

You tell me that you don’t wanna be lied to
But you get so mad when I tell you the truth
Honesty’s all that I got
Cause lying ain’t doing you no favors
Hate me now, love me later
Hate me now, love me later
Hate me now, love me later

See I’ve had women beg me for honesty
Been regretted cause the truth can be so mean
I’ve heard keep it real, I’ve heard a lot of me
Which way do I go? Do you even know?

They tell me that you don’t wanna feel like you
But you get so mad when I tell you the truth
Honest is all that I got
Cause lying ain’t doing you no favors
Hate me now, love me later
Hate me now, love me later
Hate me now, love me later
