I Hate Hip Hop Lyrics

[Intro]
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ah
Okay
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I'm not a Youtube rapper, come on, give me credit
I don't need to do reactions to get views, okay, I said it

Not a label rapper, I'm way too offensive
Go ahead and call me clickbait, I made millions independent
I'm not a mumble rapper, y'all understand every single word
I'm not takin' Xanax, rappin' 'bout money, liquor, and girls
Not a Soundcloud rapper, I got hits you actually have heard
I exist outside the internet, done shows around the world
Not a boom-bap rapper, I'm not stuck in 1990
I like Wu-Tang, but that vibe is kinda old and grimy
Not a conscious rapper, all those rappers sound like SJ dubs
Not a gangster rapper, cool enough without bein' a thug
I'm not country rap, I don't play guitar, I don't drive a truck
I don't chew tobacco, got the Chevy stuck in feet of mud

I'm not horror-core, I don't paint my face, I don't trip
I can only be myself and I am Tom MacDonald, bitch

[Pre-Chorus]
I think I gotta let 'em know, ayy, ayy, ayy
And let me say it from the soul, man
[Chorus]
I hate hip-hop
How dare you call me a rapper when all these rappers don't have nothin' left to say?
I hate hip-hop
It's full of liars and actors, these lil rappers are 'bout as real as they names
I hate hip-hop
Keep the glitz and the glamour 'cause all these rappers are puttin' kids in they graves
I hate hip-hop
The whole culture is cancer, they'll kill their momma for some clout and a chain

[Verse 2]
I'm not a mainstream rapper, I think they're pathetic
I don't compromise my vision just so I can sell some records
I'm not underground, that means it's hard to sell it
I got mass appeal, I've mastered bein' catchy with a message
I'm that whiteboy rapper, actually got that juice and caught a vibe
Copyin' Eminem don't mean that all you boomers really rhyme
Not a corny rapper, spittin' every song in double time
Say so much and don't say nothin', bunch of garbage in your lines
Not a lil rapper, I ain't auto-tunin' every song
I ain't makin' tunes exclusively 'bout drinkin' at the club
Not a candy rapper, I ain't makin' albums full of pop
I ain't Macklemore or Logic, Lil Dicky or Asher Roth
I ain't emo rap, I ain't sheddin' tears, I don't cut myself
I don't romanticize suicide or poor mental health
I ain't backpack rap, that's my grandad's rap
Please, don't take this as a diss, I'm just Tom MacDonald, bitch
[Pre-Chorus]
I think I gotta let 'em know, ayy, ayy, ayy
And let me say it from the soul, man

[Chorus]
I hate hip-hop
How dare you call me a rapper when all these rappers don't have nothin' left to say?
I hate hip-hop
It's full of liars and actors, these lil rappers are 'bout as real as they names
I hate hip-hop
Keep that glitz and the glamour 'cause all these rappers are puttin' kids in they graves
I hate hip-hop
The whole culture is cancer, they'll kill their momma for some clout and a chain

[Verse 3]
I'm so used to hearin' people hate, I get it
Hip-hop hates me and I hate it too, it's been this way forever
I don't move like them, I'll never be accepted
I got rich without a co-sign, I will hold you 'cause you're jealous
I don't want the clout, I don't need a friend, y'all can keep your beats
Never signed a deal so every dollar goes to me
I been humble, ain't been flexin', ain't been showin' off my blessin's
Maybe I should take a second to make sure y'all get the message
I'm in beast mode, check the teeth glow, I don't need dough
Everything is Fendi, Gucci, 'Sace, Louis V, oh
Nothin' new to me, no, too much green to keep, bro
Hundred thousand dollars every hour that I sleep for
I don't talk about it 'cause the way my momma raised me good
All these rappers hate me, if they don't, I'll say they maybe should
H-O-G, the army, they say crazy is as crazy does
So watch yourself, blood on our hands, don't bother us, we bathe in blood
[Chorus]
I hate hip-hop
How dare you call me a rapper when all these rappers don't have nothin' left to say?
I hate hip-hop
It's full of liars and actors, these lil rappers are 'bout as real as they names
I hate hip-hop
Keep that glitz and the glamour 'cause all these rappers are puttin' kids in they graves
I hate hip-hop
The whole culture is cancer, they'll kill their momma for some clout and a chain
