Don't Hate for Me
Dizzy Fae Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Realization, oh the temptation
I enjoy the way you chew
Pull up shawty and we′ll seat for two
You beam with excitement
Well I'll keep my composure
Your experience can′t scare me
Roll up shawty I don't care what they assume

I can be patient as I do what I do
And you should be patient in a room full of tunes
You're grown as hell, I don′t really care what you do
If you fuck with me then you should think twice ′bout what you prov
Don't wait for me, don′t wait for me
Don't get comfy, don′t hate
Don't hate for me, don′t wait
Don't wait for me, don't hate
Don′t wait for me, don′t wait for me
Don't get comfy, don′t hate
Don't hate for me, don′t wait
Don't wait for me, don′t hate
I can be patient as I do what I do
And you should be patient in a room full of tunes
You're grown as hell, I don't really care what you do
If you fuck with me then you should think twice ′bout what you prove
I must′ve mistaken
'Cause now I am laced in
You can′t keep me by a tie
Titles bore me, let's explore the untold
We don′t need 'em in our business
And I′ll let that sink in
Stop once you get to thinkin'
I don't want to hurt a cat like you

You should be patient as I do what I do
Your kin may be mad ′cause I might be bad for you
I′m getting grown as hell, I gotta care what I do
Shouldn't fuck with me ′cause I'm not thinking much about you
Don′t wait for me, don't wait for me
Don′t get comfy, don't hate

Don't hate for me, don′t wait
Don′t wait for me, don't hate

I'm getting grown as hell, I gotta care what I do
I am becoming more mature and responsible, so I have to be more mindful of my actions

Shouldn't fuck with me 'cause I'm not thinking much about you
You should not mess with me because I am not putting much thought or attention towards you
