Glee Cast - Hate on Me (sung by Mercedes in the show; sung by Jill Scott)
Mercedes' Version : Here
Jill Scott's Version : Here
If I could give you the world
On a silver platter
Would it even matter?
You'd still be mad at me
If I can find in all this
A dozen roses
That I would give to you
You'd still be miserable
'Cause in reality
I'm gon' be who I be
And I don't feel no faults
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may
Bring me down but I say
That it ain't up to you
Gonna do what you do
Hate on me hater
Now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad baby
(Go 'head 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
Ooh if I gave you peaches
Out of my own garden
And I made you a peach pie
Would you slap me hard?
Wonder if I gave you diamonds
Out of my own room
Would you feel the love in that
Or ask why not the moon?
If I gave you sanity
For the whole of humanity
And had all the solutions
For the pain and pollution
No matter where I live
Despite the things I give
You'll always be this way
So go ahead and
Hate on me hater
Now or later
Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad baby
(Go 'head 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
Hate on me hater
Now or later
Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad baby
Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
You cannot hate on me
Now or later
Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad baby
Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
Hate on me hater
Now or later
Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad baby
Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
*Note: some of the lyrics aren't that accurate... According to my ears, of course. For example, when she sang "Would you slap me hard?", to me it sounded like "Would you slap me huh?" and... "Wonder if I give you diamonds, out of my own room", to me it's "Out of my own womb". :)*
Tchyea~ Hate on me, haters. :)
A thought came onto me when I was doing my EMB just now in the library... hahaha
People can do all sorts of bad things to you, (insulting you, ignoring you, hit you, frame you, betray you, backstab you... and the list goes on...) and you can only do two things: either 1) react, or 2) ignore.
What would you do if something bad happens to you?
I normally would choose to react by ignoring them, but... how long can my bubble hold on before I finally burst up? That, I don't know. And... until now, I'm still glad that my bubble hasn't burst. yet.
So why am I typing this, you ask? If I am still happy with my current friends and so on?
Well, long question short answer, coz I feel like it. :)
I have been spending too much of my time being afraid of what people might think of me and how they would react if I did this or that. I have spent nearly three quarter of my life being such an introvert, and I was never really able to let myself shine. I always let my friends shine brighter than me, because I thought that was the way things should be.
But, I realized that... Sometimes I deserve to shine as well... I, too, have to right to be shining brightly in front of my friends. I don't want to be the one who will have to watch my friends get the sweet fruits first while I get the last piece of fruit and the fruit turns out to be bad. I don't want to keep putting my friends before me. After all, it's my life, and not theirs that I am living, right?
If you think I will be selfish from now on, well, you're wrong, actually. Coz I don't plan on being selfish, but I'm saying that I want to just let myself be heard instead of doing the hearing all the time. I voluntarily lend my ears for those who needed an ear or two, but no one has ever done the same for me.
Okay, so maybe I have. And I'm grateful. I really am. :)
But still, after thinking about all the sacrifices that I have poured in for my friends and received naught a thing in return has sometimes really pissed me off. There was never a genuine "thank you" coming from them, and it just appears to me as if they only need me when they are in trouble or what... Is that what friends are for, I think not.
So you see, I will not spend anymore of my precious time thinking about how my friends will react to my actions. I have the right to update my Facebook status every 3 minutes and I have the right to tweet until Twitter goes into Over Capacity mode. I have every single right as every other people out there. So if you're annoyed by my constant updates, there are two things that you can do in Facebook. 1) Hide me. 2) Delete me from your list of friends.
In Twitter, you can unfollow me. I don't mind. I don't care. The less people to read my thoughts, the better. In my case, the less, the merrier. ;)
But let me just tell you one thing. If one day you realize that something has been missing or is incomplete in your life, let me tell you that the thing that you're missing is me. :)
And hell yes, I am being an overconfident brat right now. Well, like the blog's title says, "Hate on me, haters~"
I don't give a damn about you and your opinions. I live as myself. Not a part of you that you wished you were. Alright? Kapisch? :)
Tata~
