Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ay since we came on the scene we been hated on mostly
Niggas talk shit but they watch real closely
Ay put that thang on that nigga tell that nigga you don't know
Bitch nigga you don't know me nigga you don't know me
Now its a bunch of niggas hatin on the mob since we came on
Niggas talkin shit cause they broke and they ain't on
Tell them muthafuckas that them suckas got the game wrong
You seen us on MTV and our album on the shelf
4-5 hundred strong and we ain't need no fuckin help
Fuck a hype man we can crank the show up by ourself
And play them hatin ass muthaufuckas to the left
I ride in the back wit lil buss niggas
All of em back wit em black wit em black pumps wit them black slacks and black macs
And all of em gutta thoreau with that gangsta
Nigga we blow perk we don't blow reggie with them wankstas
I'm trapped out on the curb and errbody in my squad
You know we keep that expensive ass herb
For all these fuck niggas who plottin and hatin on me
Ha ha you already slow I keep a K on me
[Chorus: 2x]
Since we came up on scene we been hated on contemplated on
But that shit don't even phase me homes (phase me homes)
Niggas smile up in yo face and turn around and turn around and steady hatin
We one of the reasons that yo song is in heavy rotation
Who can say they made a classic hit that gets the club jumpin
Started in 2001 4 years passed and today its still bumpin
Always on the fuckin grind niggas tryna stop our shine
You'll never get the best of us cause we too tough and we gon ride
We gon ride and leave you counterfits behind playa but this click gon shine
You hatin cause I got mines but its all good that's just you
L12's get the L in they face
Flaw niggas get no props they get put in they place everyday
That's just how it is that's just how it goes
So I stay up on my toes and chose my money over hoes
Mobbin over esub dammit ay lil stupid bitch
MOB that be the click and you don't really know about me
[Chorus: 2x]
You know we stars now in them duece dueces
Hand out the brain nigga throw them dueces
Or I might throw it back I'm in the bichevy
Niggas hatin on me because my pockets heavy
Dreads in my head I got my mind right
My next day say I'm 30 so the time right
I do alotta flexin yeah I be puttin on
I guess that's that's the reason why you boys be hatin on
I'm known to get it on rain sleet or snow
I sack em fat they start runnin off like some hoes
Niggas hatin cause they bitches jumpin out they clothes
Suckin him and suckin me the greatest nigga yeen know
Of course you seen us in the magazines I be you got our posters
Or maybe two or three cd's why you niggas tryna roast us
Girl its nothin cause we focused cause MOB be bout them presidents
Keep takin notes and snappin pictures cause that shits iirelevant
[Chorus: 2x]
The lyrics to Crime Mob's "Hated On Mostly" exude a sense of defiance in the face of haters and naysayers. The chorus sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the group acknowledging that they have been hated on since they first came on the scene but remain unbothered. The first verse specifically calls out those who talk negatively about the group or their music because they are not successful in their own right. Crime Mob asserts that they are the real deal and that their success has been earned independently, without the need for a hype man or any outside help.
The next verse provides a glimpse into the group's gritty and streetwise aesthetic, with references to drug use, gang culture, and a general disregard for authority. The line, "I'm trapped out on the curb and errbody in my squad, you know we keep that expensive ass herb" underscores the group's connection to the drug trade, which is a common theme in many hip hop songs. They also make it clear that they are not to be messed with, with the line "ha ha you already slow, I keep a K on me" indicating that they are armed and dangerous.
The final verse is the most boastful and celebratory of all. Crime Mob flaunts their success and popularity, citing their hit songs and magazine features as evidence of their fame. They are unfazed by those who hate on them and instead choose to focus on making money and advancing their careers. The final line, "Keep takin notes and snappin pictures cause that shits iirelevant" is a nod to the paparazzi and other media outlets who try to profit off of their fame, but ultimately don't matter to the group's success.
