H.A.T.E. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay
Uh huh
We doin’ what we gotta do, we gotta survive
Livin’ life on the edge, feelin’ alive
Smokin’ on that snowman, feelin the high
Yeah we feelin the high, yeah we feelin alive
We doin’ what we gotta do, we gotta survive
Livin’ life on the edge, feelin’ alive
Smokin’ on that snowman, feelin the high
Yeah we feelin the high, yeah we feelin alive
If you don’t pay up, I’ma take what I deserve
Yeah I always set the bar, stay ahead and set the curve
Put on for my city, I put on for all my burbs
If you think you put in work, then watch how I g-go berserk
Hit the gas and then go skurt, can’t be mad that yo girl flirts
I just hit you with the re-up, bet she still hits me up first
Hit the gas and then go skurt, uber to the ends of earth
Reflections in my rearview as I’m parked up on the curb, aye
We do what we gotta do, we gotta survive
Livin’ life on the edge, feelin’ alive
Puffin’ on that snowman, feelin the high
Yeah we feelin the high, yeah we feelin alive
We doin’ what we gotta do, we gotta survive
Livin’ life on the edge, feelin’ alive
Smokin’ on that snowman, feelin the high
Aye we feelin the high, say we feelin alive
Same old thing, wake up and go to work
Money makes the world go round, that’s earth
Chasin’ all yo dreams, is what keeps you goin’
Lyrical veins, is what keep you flowin
In the studio, burn one with the fam
On the microphone with luie and dan
Always speakin clear so you could understand
My name is ray-banz but she call me the man
You want it, I got it
If not I’ll go get it
You fucked up, you sorry
But I aint forgivin'
You miss me, you lookin’
Can’t find me, stop searchin’
Gone off this bottle
Tipsy and cursing
All up in the whip speedin’ and swearvin’
No seatbelt on, ten shots, stomach burnin’
She thirsty, she fishin’, she hopin’, she wishin’
She’s wildin’, she’s fucked up, she’s bitchin’
We doin’ what we gotta do, we gotta survive
Livin’ life on the edge, feelin’ alive
Smokin’ on that snowman, feelin the high
Yeah we feelin the high, yeah we feelin alive
We doin’ what we gotta do, we gotta survive
Livin’ life on the edge, feelin’ alive




Smokin’ on that snowman, feelin the high
Yeah we feelin the high, yeah we feelin alive

My God, this is great
Also, stay calm for a second and realise that's only YOU made all this chaos. Only because YOU. That's amazing

Elijah Perkins

You literally just brought hell to earth

This is epic

Tadeo Escudero

Took you a 30 minute massacre to full an already almost full rank 10 bar?

Also try Widowmaker with "Acrobat"+"Fast Reflexes" using AK47 and Desert Eagle (I think this the best loadout in survival mode! :D)

Matrix50

@Gun5l1ng3r Yeah, that is great too! :D

Gun5l1ng3r

It's great if you like to go fast with low health points. But I would rather be a tank so Psycho Cop with Bodybuilder and Mule would work for me. Using M16, Ak47, and grenade launcher or flamethrower with molotov would work best with a tank build would work best in my opinion.

Meekins

Good run!
