Lyrics The Hate U Give - OBK

And the hate that you give
Is the hate that you get
Hood niggas don't know what love is
So by the book of the streets we live
And the hate that you give
Is the hate that you get
Hood niggas don't know what love is
So by the book of the streets we live

I see my momma cry I know they want me dead
My momma looking in my hand baby what is dat
This world is dangerous
My Life a game of risk so imma play dis game until I fucking win
These ops are oppositions I know you think I'm tripping
How we have the same color but you always switch
That's not the only issue we gotta worry bout these badges and these nigga in blue
Put us in a cage like some animal
Couple years they let us go to a world we never know
Some people get the worst and get killing on the spot
Now his face on a shirt and the blocking is getting hot
The block is chanting and screaming they got a meaning no freedom we take they people it's even
I'm aint preaching to the choir division don't make us higher
The law we undermine it We hate it but can't fight it
A victim I can't deny it The pain I live in silence
I live and die trying Cuz violence I can't abide in
I'm losing em call me Biden
This my declaration I'm fighting for betta day
I'm striving for betta change I'm moving can't stay in place
My history ain't die in vein Our hands are all stained
I'm screaming yeah fuck hate Cuz hatred don't show changes
See hearts but not faces See people but not races

And the hate that you give
Is the hate that you get
Hood niggas don't know what love is
So by the book of the streets we live
And the hate that you give
Is the hate that you get
Hood niggas don't know what love is
So by the book of the streets we live
