Hatred and Love - Re-released Version

I've done some bad, don't be the one to tempt me
And I've done some good, but the good I've done don't exempt me
From feelin' envy, when I need a refill, empty
But I'll be the one if you let me
Or even if you don't, have you met me
I been thinkin bout, mistakes that I've made
I been holdin doubts, bout things I can't change
It's a crazy mind game, but the pain in my veins
Has paved the way for great things, trails to blaze and make gains
Ain't been through a lot but I been through enough
To know the difference 'tween hatred and love
Those two words can mean the same thing
When you hate that you love the things that bring pain
Sick of the victims, stuck in the system
Thinking everybody's out to get them
We all been a victim, guess you been forgetting
Bout the shit your given, it's a fucken privilege
Frowned upon, looked down upon
By people that don't stand the ground I'm on
Tossed aside, been left behind
Left in dust but I'm catchin up
I'm comin for the top and I'm not gonna stop
No I'm not gonna drop off, unless you're talkin
About the bars I'm droppin
When I walk in the booth I'm locked in
The kick is my heart, the keys are my blood
The words represent all the things that I love
Below and above, I'm showin the love
I grow from the love, cuz I know it's enough
The moment it's woven, I go through the motions
Like Moses devotion I open the sea, I know what I seek
Those who oppose me are mostly intrigued
Being the man that I'm hopin' to be
Standing up here with my cloak in the breeze
Not jokin' you see, I show my technique
I walk down the road for a moment of peace
I'm holdin' the key, I don't know what it's going to be
But I'm growin' at least, the world's my plate and I'm going to feast

Ya the world's my plate and I'm goin to feast
And I see the place that I'm goin to reach
I can read your face, I know you weep
I feel that pain, It goes so deep

I was there from the start, not prepared to depart
Not fair to the art, to tear it apart, I swear on my heart
I haven't laid it to rest, there's a pain in my chest
The more I think about it, the more insane that it gets

Every teen has a dream to be the king or the queen
They sing and we scream
Things that we need seem to recede, but we are ever so keen
If you ever believe you can have everything
Then you already win that's something I learned
And I already been in a place where it hurts
And I already sinned, now I have to repent
Worry bout this and worry bout that
Worry bout your future and doin your duty to clean up your act
Like I'm doin my duty to clean up my rap
You keep your feet on your path
I keep my head up, and even when fed up I keep with the facts
And it goes deeper than that, but I guess I'll just leave it at that
