Love Hate
Master P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only thing I could tell y'all, it ain't like what you think
I'll never speak on my people
[Chorus 4X: Master P]
Same thing make you laugh'll make you cry
They claim that they love you then they hate you at the same time
It's a shame mayne, I can't change mayne
They'd rather see me on the block catch two to the brain mayne
I'm tryin to be here for my son to get bigger
And you ain't real 'less you got a gun and droppin a nigga mayne
I try to change my life, I try to do right
But I feel like a felon on my third strike
Cops pull me over, try to harass me
I seen the R. Kelly tape but these young girls nasty mayne
And the ghetto is infected with AIDS
I've done seen so many young black males on the pave'
Died with they eyes open, leave momma's heart broken
Got that dope in the hood, niggaz still smokin
No education mayne, just inflation mayne
A bunch of ghetto people out here tryin to make it mayne
Niggaz'll test you when they know you a killer
My people livin for the lottery man scratch 'em and peel 'em
Damn
[Chorus]
[Halleluyah]
I pour out liquor for my niggaz who done fell victim
Whether they behind the trigger or the shell hit 'em, listen
I guzzle beers for my brothers that's missin
Whether they in a box or they locked in state prison nigga
Tattooed tears, to represent the day
Of the ones that caught that hot slug to the head mayne
This for my niggaz on the block misled
Who think they gotta hold glocks or cock rocks to cop bread mayne
Listen instead, I think I got a better plan
To bring you a brighter day, make you a better man
Switch the hustle, try to get your mind on
Gettin legit in the world, nigga get your grind on
Paper come in other ways, even though crime pays
Put down your 9 my nigga, use your mind today
And you'll see, your paper start to multiply
The same thing that make you laugh, man'll make you cry
[Chorus]
In the song "Love Hate," Master P discusses the complexity of relationships and society in general. He begins by stating that he will not speak negatively about his own community, but he then goes on to describe the struggles he faces every day. Master P acknowledges that he has enemies who are so jealous of his success that they would rather see him dead than happy with his family. He tries to be a good father to his son, but he feels like a target wherever he goes because he is a black man in America.
Master P then touches on the harsh realities of life for young people growing up in the ghetto. There is no education available, only inflation and a constant battle for survival. He has seen so many young black men die senselessly, often due to drugs or gang violence. He also speaks about the prevalence of AIDS in the ghetto, a disease that affects so many people. Despite all this pain, he knows that there is still hope for a better life. He encourages listeners to put down their weapons and focus on legitimate ways to make money, rather than resorting to crime.
The chorus of the song repeats the message that what can make you happy can also make you sad. It is a reminder that life is not black and white, and that people have to navigate a complex world full of contradictions and difficult choices.
