Are They Hatin’ On You
Posted by LaTara on April 13, 2008
You know sometimes people just hate to see you succeed at anything. Every little thing you do they have a negative vibe about it. The slang term for this type of attitude is “don’t hate on me”. It seems like no matter what you do, even for them, they have a problem with it.
For those who know me they know the Mary J. Blige and Jill Scott are two of my favorite authentic sisters. Jill Scott’s latest CD has a song on it that I sing whenever someone tries to push all up in my space and hate on me.
I am sharing these lyrics with every other authentic woman who has ever felt the stab of the negative vibe.
Hate on Me
by Jill Scott from The Real Things -Words and Songs
If I could give you the world
On a silver platter
Would it even matter?
You’d still be mad at me
If I could find in all this
A dozen roses
Which I would give to you
You’d still be miserable
In reality, I’m gon’ be who I be
And I don’t feel no faults
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may
Break me down but I say
That it ain’t up to you
Gone and do what you do
(Chorus)
Hate on me, hater
Now or later
‘Cuz I’m gonna do me
You’ll be mad, baby
(Go ‘head and hate)
Go ‘head and hate on me, hate on
‘Cuz I’m not afraid of it
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
Ooh, if I gave you peaches
Out of my own garden
And I made you a peach pie
[ Hate On Me lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
Would you slap me high
What if I gave you diamonds
Out of my own womb
Would you feel the love in that,
Or ask “why not the moon”?
If I gave you sanity
For the whole of humanity,
Had all the solutions
For the pain and pollution
No matter where I live,
Despite the things I give,
You’ll always be this way
So go ‘head and….
(Chorus)
Hate on me, hater
Now or later
‘Cuz I’m gonna do me
You’ll be mad, baby
(Go ‘head and hate)
Go ‘head and hate on me, hate on
‘Cuz I’m not afraid of it
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
You cannot hate on me
‘Cuz my mind is free
Feel my destiny
So shall it be

You know, I *knew* there was a reason I like you. (Jill Scott is one of my favorites too, and she just…well…sings it..)
Yes…that is a perfect song for so many reasons.
(Okay, this reply did not come off as deeply as was intended.)

These are powerful words and Jill bringing it out in the open through music is awesome. So many people “hate on you” for no reason at all. And like Jill said it wouldn’t even matter if you birthed them a diamond.
Tishia Lee, you need to get her CD.I really suggest the first one which if I am correct is self-titled. It is very good.
