Tekster: Maino. Gotta Love Me.

Yeah.. Let me get it like this, listen..

[Verse 1]
The industry got Drake
But the streets got me
I watch them praise others
And then deny me
At first i was sayin' to myself
Well why me?
And then I thought about it
They simply not me

Just what I expected
How can I accept this?
Held my whole city down
I'm still not accepted.
Maybe I ain't bright enough
Songs ain't tight enough
Full-blooded weirdo
Pants ain't tight enough
Going to hard Maino
You need to lighten up
Never that, I'ma speak my mind, keep windin' up
Black flag wrapped on my face on my billboard
Look around, Diddy got a flag on his face y'all

Is this reality or my imagination?
But niggas really watchin' me is my evaluation
Watchin' how I move
Captivated by the thug in me
Studyin' my music
And act like they don't fuck with me
Look at me.
Please don't let these pussy niggas fool you
Even if you hate and gotta love me cuz I'm true fool
Too real, too hard, put that on my mother dawg
Deep down, everybody loves a underdog

[Chorus]
Even if you hate to admit it, you gotta love me
Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me
I done made somethin' from nothin', you gotta love me
You gotta love me, you know you love me
Even if you hate to admit it, you gotta love me
Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me
I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me
You gotta love me, you know you love me

[Verse 2]
If I tell you what's on my mind, they gon' say I'm angry
Tell you I'ma spazz out, they gon' say I'm crazy
Should I take it personal?
I feel like tryna blame me
Maybe I should brush it off, just the way the game be
Came in this game all black, no mistaking
Now HOV got on all black
I said it, am I hatin'?
Look at all these hypocrites, think that I don't see this shit

I ain't in they circle, I be on some different shit

I be on my own, all alone, like an exile
Guess I ain't cool enough to fit in with the in crowd
Is he such a bad dude?
Look at all his tattoos
Heard he got a temper, is it true he like to smack dudes?
This what they be askin'
They whisper while I'm passin'
Forget that I'm the only New York nigga with the smashes
In your eyes you realize you can't fuck with me
I reed-up, now you bitch niggas stuck with me

[Chorus]
Even if you hate to admit it, you gotta love me
Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me
I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me
You gotta love me, you know you love me
Even if you hate to admit it, you gotta love me
Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me
I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me
You gotta love me, you know you love me

[Verse 3]
Yeah..

The streets got me
How can they choose them, and not acknowledge me
At first I was sayin' to myself, well why me?
And then I thought about it
They simply not me.

Just what I expected
These niggas got they eye on me
They don't wanna let me in they secret society
I can hear the tone in their voice, that they follow me
Then they turn around and purposely not acknowledge me
You ain't gotta holla see, cuz you can never stop me
Hit you inconsistancy, I'ma make you watch me
Watch me.
Nothin' in the world gon' make me fuck with you
How you really hate me?
I'm so so lovable

[Chorus]
Even if you hate to admit it, you gotta love me
Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me
I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me
Even if you hate to admit it, you gotta love me
Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me
I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me
You gotta love me, you know you love me

Ohh..
