"Even Though I Hate It" (Verse 1) People always doubted, said I'd never touch the top, Now I'm in the basement cooking rhymes that never flop. I don't love the game, but I'm married to the grind, Waking up at 4 AM with fire in my mind. They laugh when I struggle, they cheer when I slip, But I keep my head high, never sinking this ship. I see fake smiles, hear whispers in the dark, But pressure makes diamonds, I'm igniting the spark. (Hook) People don’t believe I can make it, So I’m fucking with it even though I hate it. Told me give it up, said I'd never be the greatest, Now I’m going all in, no way I can fake it. (Verse 2) I don’t even love this, but I love proving wrong, Every verse, every beat, every word in my song. They tried to box me in, but I broke through the chains, Now they acting friendly, like they knew me from the pain. I put in the hours while they slept on my name, Now they waking up, trying to hop on the train. But I ain’t forget the shade, I remember all the hate, That’s the fuel in my tank, that’s the key to my fate. (Hook) People don’t believe I can make it, So I’m fucking with it even though I hate it. Told me give it up, said I'd never be the greatest, Now I’m going all in, no way I can fake it. (Bridge) Now they wanna talk, now they wanna ride, But where were they at when I swallowed my pride? Where were they at when my pockets were low? Where were they at when I had no hope? (Verse 3) Now I'm on stage, now they screaming my name, But I don't even smile, I remember the pain. This ain't for the money, this ain't for the fame, This is for the kid that they said had no game. I don’t need love, I just need respect, I don’t need friends, just a mic and a check. So I keep pushing, yeah, I keep staying strong, Even though I hate it, I prove them all wrong. (Outro – Hook Repeats) People don’t believe I can make it, So I’m fucking with it even though I hate it. Told me give it up, said I'd never be the greatest, Now I’m going all in, no way I can fake it., Rap,
