But I will not stop so you can stop the hating

To fell or succeed I don't know what's worse (shit)

When love turns to hate and niggas rather you dead
Lord have mercy, Jesus Christ

The way I feel that'll probably be my worst one
The other one after that will better than my last
So real talk yall can kiss my ass

So all that ridiculing man I'm not the one




It's called self respect I bow down to no man
I say all that to say You Cant Ban The Snowman
