Nas - Hate Me Now (Official HD Video) ft. Puff Daddy

Escobar Season has returned It's been a long time, been a long time comin' It's life or death for me now But you know, there's no turnin' back now This is what makes me, this is what I am Feel me? Let's go

You can hate me now (Q.B.) But I won't stop now (real niggas) 'Cause I can't stop now (bravehearts) You can hate me now (c'mon) But I won't stop now (well, you hate me, I'm gon' hate you too, it's as simple as that) 'Cause I can't stop now (die motherfucker, die motherfucker, die!) You can hate me now (you don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck) You can hate me now

Go down any way you want it to go down (do it now) Weak, jealous motherfuckers (do it now, do it now)

Don't hate me, hate the money I see, clothes that I buy Ice that I wear, flows that I try Close your eyes, picture me rollin', Sixes, money foldin' Bitches, honeys that swollen to riches, Nas get in ya

Most critically acclaimed Pulitzer Prize winner Best storyteller, thug narrator, my style's greater Model dater, big threat to a lot of you haters Commentators ringside try watchin' my paper

Almost a decade, quite impressive Most of the best is in the essence for this rap shit that I stand for Expandin' more to the big screen, Bill Gates dreams But it seems you'd rather see me in jail with state greens

Want me off the scene fast, but good things last Like your favorite MC still makin' some mean cash First rapper to bring a platinum plaque back to the projects But you still wanna hate, be my guest, I suggest

Money is power, motherfucker! I got millions of thugs on salary (do it now)

You can hate me now (I won't stop) But I won't stop now (I can't stop) 'Cause I can't stop now (you can hate me) (now) You can hate me now (I hate you too) (do it now!) But I won't stop now (you can hate me now) (c'mon) 'Cause I can't stop now (c'mon) You can hate me now (you can hate me now) (do it now!) You can hate me now

Do it now! I told you, do it now! Let's go

You wanna hate me, then hate me; what can I do? But keep gettin' money? Funny, I was just like you I had to hustle hard, never give up, until I made it Now y'all sayin': "That's a clever nigga, nothin' to play with."

Hate on me, I blew, but I'm the same OG People warned me: "When you're on top there's envy" Took my niggas out the hood, but you doubt on us Sayin' we left the hood, but can't get it out of us

My bad, should I step out my shoes, give 'em to you? Here's my cars and my house, you can live in that too Criticize when I flow for the streets, hate my dress code Gucci this, Fendi that - what you expect, hoe?

Nickname Esco, took this game to its threshold Best flow, I bet the whole U.S. know Try to make it like you the realest, but who the illest? Think we all know the answer to that, 'cause niggas feel this, right?

You think I'ma come this far And let you niggas stop me now? I hate you too!

You can hate me now (I won't stop) But I won't stop now (I can't stop) (now) 'Cause I can't stop now (you can hate me) (do it now!) You can hate me now (I hate you too) (c'mon) But I won't stop now (you can hate me now) 'Cause I can't stop now (you can hate me now) You can hate me now (you can hate me now) (do it now!) You can hate me now (do it now!)

I like this, I like the way this feels (let's go)

It's a thin line between paper and hate Friends and snakes, nine milli's and .38s Hell or the Pearly Gates; I was destined to come Predicted, blame God, he blew breath in my lungs

Second to none, wicked turn wives to widows Shoot through satin pillows, the desolate one Took a little time to claim my spot Jamming up the border to this game stop, and I side with the Lord

Ride for the cause while drivin' niggas shot at my doors Plottin' I'm sure, to catch me with they Glocks to my jaws Tried stickin' me up, but I flipped on these ducks Instead of me, ambulances were pickin' them up

Niggas fear what they don't understand Hate what they can't conquer, guess it's just inferior man Became a monster, on top of the world, never fallin' I'm as real as they come, from day one, forever ballin', c'mon!

You ain't never seen a nigga like me ever in your life And that's what you can't understand!

You can hate me now (I won't stop) But I won't stop now (I can't stop) 'Cause I can't stop now (you can hate me) You can hate me now (I hate you too) But I won't stop now (you can hate me now) 'Cause I can't stop now (you can hate me now) You can hate me now You can hate me now

You can hate me now (c'mon, niggas!) But I won't stop now (do it now! Get this shit over with!) It ain't gon' never stop, niggas! (I can't stop)
