The Things That Hate Us

See I come from a time when

They didn't put rear view mirrors on the passenger sides of vehicles

[Verse 1]

And this is for those that still drink malt liquor

Put the poison in your body just to pass out quicker

When death calls best believe it's gonna get all

Emotional cause I ain't goin to hell without my menthols

Damn cable TV got me trapped in

Girls acting dumb and cops beating black men

Overfill, overkill, tryin to deal

Call the toll free and order my some diet pills, aight?

Got me looking at the sugar in the Kool-Aid that you made

You need to chase it down with some toothpaste

Still stuck to the simple things

Yep, the struggle in between a couple of Krispy Kremes

I have to ask if you could pass that half in half

To get my coffee back on track

Big ups to all the carbonated hiccups

The energy drinks and the suicide big gulps

Gonna find happiness in the fast food

Supersize, a triple bypass heart attack too

Distract you with these colorful tattoos

To cover up the fact that we feel like bad news

[Hook]

Uh, we love the things that hate us

Push snooze again girl, I don't want to wake up

America the beautiful, that's how she played us

Wasn't that cute, it must have been her make up

Tryin to grab everything that she gave us

Just take it back in the math on that pay stub

Lookin at the neighbours like wait up (wait up)

Uh, we love the things that hate us

[Verse 2]

Pain killers help find some feeling

Crack the Vic in half just to break the time seal and

Take it by yourself on the living room carpet

Do a little bump just to clean your apartment, huh

I seen your wife, she's not the truth

I understand why you like to pay them prostitutes, yes

Strip clubs, gun shops, oh Jesus

Right next to the liquor store for your convenience

Everybody say "Ho" for the Cuervo

You can drive if you promise to be careful

Turn the radio up and light a doobie

And keep actin' like life is like a movie

This is for the needles you shared

Cause them after school TV specials is too square

Cook the coke for your own consumption

On some JoJo dancin old school, what's your function?

As American as herpes and hot dogs

Got lost between the mustard and the hot sauce

Unprotected sex with that one you just met

You ain't even got all your Hep shots yet, it goes

[Hook]
