Do you know what it takes to even pick up a pen? To sit and record the thoughts that overflow in your head All of your deepest and twisted, personal, innermost secrets Then to say it out loud and then maybe even repeat it Talking about all the times that you've been mistreated Embarrassed, abused, confused, and emotionally beaten And bruised, 'til you excuse yourself to hide all your feelings Not knowing someday you'd have the urge to reveal 'em It's not as easy as it sounds Trust me, I know I've been writing almost 10 years and nobody knows To extend to the public a private piece of your soul In hopes that this accomplishment will help you to grow But that depends how it goes Well, it depends who you show There's a lotta people out there who Just want you to know That you suck and you should give up They're just trying to help But I think that they just need To do some writing themselves So keep hatin' Yeah, one day you might have an album 'Til then, just keep on shoutin' From the top of your mountain It feels great 'Til one day you have the urge to create And people hate And then finally you feel ashamed So keep hatin' Yeah, one day you might have an album 'Til then, just keep on shoutin' From the top of your mountain It feels great 'Til one day you have the urge to create And people hate And then finally you feel ashamed Not anyone can write a poem It's like speaking another language That you only learn by living With years of pain and anguish It's a skill you have to earn Called 'the art of being anxious' Cuz it burns you like a Phoenix 'til you rise up from the ashes I haven't eaten for days Why do you think they call it 'starving artist'? Cuz you're sick to your stomach until your art has been processed Until you're properly expressed you feel constantly nauseous Then as soon as you put it out you gotta deal with the nonsense Of haters taking cheap shots, they think they're so clever Think unraveling me will help you pull yourself together? Like bringing me down will help to get you elevated While you just skate by in life, your life is just being wasted And all I have to do is just sit back and picture your face And rhymes just start to flow 'til I'm spitting all over the place I tear it down until I build myself back up 'til I say I really needed that and now I'm feeling okay So keep hatin' Yeah, one day you might have an album 'Til then, just keep on shoutin' From the top of your mountain It feels great 'Til one day you have the urge to create And people hate And then finally you feel ashamed So keep hatin' Yeah, one day you might have an album 'Til then, just keep on shoutin' From the top of your mountain It feels great 'Til one day you have the urge to create And people hate And then finally you feel ashamed So keep hatin' cheap skate I'll keep this as a keep sake So I can play it anytime I'm feeling my spirits break And remind myself why I do this in the first place To try to find some comfort In this uncomfortable space And then remember how it takes Taking a risk to be brave Then feel the instant reward That's always being repaid No longer a slave to my emotions Now my emotions are slaves Cuz I'm whipping them back into place While they're digging your grave And I could write one for you So you better watch what you say I got people hatin' on me almost everyday And I'll eventually get you No matter how long it takes It's not the thrill of the kill It's the hunt and the chase And it'd be nice to get noticed But I don't need to be famous If I just pace myself then maybe I won't feel the need to chase it But I still gotta race Because it runs in my veins Just know that it's not if you win or lose It's how you play the game So keep hatin' Yeah, one day you might have an album 'Til then, just keep on shoutin' From the top of your mountain It feels great 'Til one day you have the urge to create And people hate And then finally you feel ashamed So keep hatin' Yeah, one day you might have an album 'Til then, just keep on shoutin' From the top of your mountain It feels great 'Til one day you have the urge to create And people hate And then finally you feel ashamed To be hatin'
