Lyrics[]

Mercedes:
If I could give you the world on a silver platter
Would it even matter?
You'd still be mad at me
If I could find in all this a dozen roses
That I would give to you, you'd still be miserable

'Cause in reality
I'm gonna be who I be
And I don't feel no faults
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may, break me down but I say
That it ain't up to you, go on and do what you do

Mercedes with Will's Group:
Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be mad, baby (Will's Group: Go ahead and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me, hater, cause I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for, you can hate on me

Mercedes:
Ooh, if I gave you peaches outta my own garden
And I made you a peach pie, would you slap me high?
Wonder if I gave you diamonds out of my own womb
Would you feel the love in that or ask why not the moon?

If I gave you sanity for the whole of humanity
Had all the solutions for the pain and pollution

Mercedes with Will's Group:
No matter where I live, despite the things I give

Mercedes:
You'll always be this way, so go ahead and

Mercedes with Will's Group:
Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be mad, baby (Will's Group: Go ahead and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me, hater, cause I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for, you can hate on me

Mercedes with Will's Group (Will's Group):
Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be mad, baby (You cannot hate on me)
Go 'head and hate on me, hater ('Cause my mind is free)
'Cause I'm not afraid of (Feel my destiny)
What I got I paid for (So shall it be)

Mercedes:
You can hate on me

Tina:
You cannot hate on me (Mercedes: Hate on me, hater)

Mercedes (Will's Group):
Now or later ('Cause my mind is free)
'Cause I'm gonna do me (My destiny)
You'll be mad, baby (So shall it be) (Tina: So shall it be) (Hate on me)
Go 'head and hate on me, hater ('Cause my mind is free)
'Cause I'm not afraid of (Feel my destiny)
What I got I paid for (So shall it be) (Tina: So shall it be)
You can hate on me

Will's Group:

Mercedes with Will's Group:
Hate on me, hater (Will's Group: 'Cause my mind is free)
