I Hate You )
Tank Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saved you
Gave you everything
Cause you were mine
I loved you
Now I hate you
Whew!

Truth about a roni she's
A special kinda girl,
From the first moment she,
Changed my whole world,
A nigga fell in love so deep,
I couldn't help myself,
She wasn't a make for me,
I couldn't see nobody else,

But she was on the move, seein other dudes,
I had to be the only one that didn't know,
She was getting by, had me on a ride,
Disguised as an angel,
You needed me,
And for you I was there
But you lied to me,
And how could you dare?

When I saved you, I made you,
I gave you everything cause you were mine,
I loved you, loved you,
Now I hate you,
(Listen to me y'all)

Truth about a roni she
Was everybody's girl,
I thought that she belonged to me,
So I gave her the world,
And it's crazy how I just didn't see,

All the dirt she was doing to me,
All the things that I believed,
Why did she do this to me?

But she was on the move, seein other dudes,
I had to be the only one that didn't know,
She was getting by, had me on a ride,
Disguised as an angel,
You needed me,
And for you I was there,
But you lied to me,
And how could you dare?

When I saved you, I made you,
I gave you everything cause you were mine,
I loved you, loved you,
Now I hate you, oooo I hate you

Why when I put nothing before you?
Why when I did nothing to spoil you?
Why when I was straight up with you?
Why when there wasn't a thing I wouldn't do?
Who put you up to this?
Damn I put my trust in this,
I put my heart in this,
And this is how you thank me?

When I saved you, I made you,
I gave you everything, cause you were mine,
I loved you, loved you,
Now I hate you, I hate you, I hate you,

I said I hate, hate, hate, hate,
I said I hate, hate, hate you,




I said I hate, hate, hate,
I said I hate, hate, hate you
