To make a motherfuckin' million is this industry and
I know you recognize I'm threatin' to shut 'em down
Strike 'em down like lightin' it's quite excitin'
To be the player that I be once again call me
The capital T-E-see pimpin' hoes tighter then a nigga

Don't knock me, just watch me, as I rise to the top
Black Connection nigga, and I be slangin' all night
Sleepin' all day, can't figure out how I turned out that way

Or will my face end up on tee shirt's
My family cryin' with all this playa hate'n goin'

So I'm a stick to the G-Code,

Break out the bacon soda, break out the cola
Whip it for a hour, bring it back like a boulder

Yo look for me, or you get struck down
Ain't no goin' down my attitude is straight rude
When I was lookin' out for us, you was lookin' out for you
My enemies are around me, and in my face
They got my crossed out and locked down in that place
But I'll be back and down for an 187, it get's the job done
Because I brought my Mock-11, fully automatic
Prepare to handle static, rat-a-tatta
Won't y'all look at all these nigga's scatter
Before I let the bullet's go, I watch the nigga break
To his knee's and cry just like a hoe
{Bitch ass nigga}

The song Love N Hate by V is a powerful and emotive expression of the rapper's struggle with the jealousy and hate he feels from those around him. The chorus is an anguished cry for understanding, with V asking why everyone is "player hatin'" him. He suggests that it might be because of his success in the U.P.T. (University Park, Texas), where he is known as the "incredible, un-takeable T-E-see." V's verse describes his determination to succeed in the music industry, overcoming the obstacles and threats from the "slangers, gang bangers, rappers, and kidnappers" he associates with. He acknowledges that he is rough around the edges, but that he will always keep to the "G-Code" and stay true to the friends and allies who have been with him from the beginning.
The second verse is more confrontational and focused on the violence that V feels is necessary to maintain his position in the rap world. He talks about his ability to bust heads and necks and his connections with the mob, all in service of the almighty dollar. He is wary of those who claim to be “down” for him but really only care about their own interests. V's final verse is a warning to those who would cross him, with his bounty hunter skills and his fully automatic weapons.
Overall, Love N Hate is a searing indictment of the backstabbing and hate that V perceives around him. It is a powerful expression of the struggles that many rappers face as they try to succeed in an industry that can be as ruthless as it is rewarding.
