Got haters playin' catch up due to how far I came
Years of making changes, it feels like night and day
Can't entertain the haters
Nah, I can't entertain the haters
Got haters playin' catch up due to how far I came
Years of making changes, it feels like night and day
Can't entertain the haters
Nah, I can't entertain the haters
They critique me like a pundit
Can't slip up, keep it a hunid
All the hate soundin' redundant
But it's always in abundance
The criticism is rarely ever constructive
But to be fair, I can see why we always reluctant
To go into the depths of our issues and faults
We gotta keep it moving, we can rarely ever take halts
The best way to deal with hate might not be to ignore it
But I can't contemplate how to deal with the outcome, it's horrid
After the negativity, what are you left with
You realize you won't be accepted
Your competence was tested
The relationships you invested in
May cease to even stay existin'
Yeah, maybe I should've listened
Yeah, maybe I should've listened
What am I without any communital comfort
Just a shattered ego despite the things that I've done for
Myself and my close ones
Now my health getting worsened
I could've listened to the naysayers
They'd bring me down and I'd feel the layers
Of doubt and fear, they'd plant in my mind
But I realized, they were just wasting my time
I blocked the noise and focused on my grind
I put in the work, it'll pay off in due time
Doing all of this in attempt to live my best life
(to live my best life)
I can't lie, I let 'em get to me one at a time
But these days, I've learned to take 'em one at a time
Superficial what they dish out, keepin' it grimy
Flock to words they know will only hurt for the timin'
Obviously, there's a piece of mama lookin' down
Taught me to refresh myself, wish I could give her the crown
Put it in the music, 'cause when I have made a sound
It's only been joyful, listen to me right now
It'll only hurt for the moment
It'll only feel like your world is spinnin' 'round
But you cannot stop yourself from growin'
Like them kids talkin', they cannot hold you down
Gotta show 'em they are not controllin'
You can take charge of your life, or they can watch you drown
Your choice, you only got one voice
Use it to lift your soul, ain't such a place to go but
(up) Got haters playin' catch up due to how far I came
Years of making changes, it feels like night and day
Can't entertain the haters
Nah, I can't entertain the haters
Got haters playin' catch up due to how far I came
Years of making changes, it feels like night and day
Can't entertain the haters
Nah, I can't entertain the haters
As we journey deeper into Aishvin's world, we find a complex truth
Despite his determination not to entertain the hate that shadows him
A powerful motivator whispers in his heart
It's a longing for validation from those close to him
He would improve for anyone who holds some meaning to him, maybe for a special someone
