(Uh) It's a JRN thang. Let's go (uh)!
Dear hater you ain't gotta be mad though (nope)
Dear hater you ain't gotta be mad though (uh-uh)
Dear hater you ain't gotta be mad (nope)
You ain't gotta be mad, you ain't gotta be mad though
Dear hater you ain't gotta be mad though (nope)
Dear hater you ain't gotta be mad though (uh-uh)
Dear hater you ain't gotta be mad
You ain't gotta be mad, you ain't gotta be mad though
[Verse]
Yeah I took a couple “L”s, but I dust it off
Saw the snakes in the grass so I cut ‘em off
Prayed the real from the fake with the Lord involved
Now they rattle when they speak I call it snake talk
Angelou, still I rise, call me Lazareth
Abraham. Let me claim my inheritance
Angel deep so none can touch the kid
Blood washed so none can touch the kid
I'm spitting truths from the booth like my tooth gone
People been fake call they face two-tone
Being Cain to my Abel man is so wrong
Praying for my enemies is the theme song
No curses out my mouth I'm a speak a blessing
Staying true to His Word is the true lesson
Dear haters of the world listen to me now
Keep your hands off the children of the crown

Dear hater you ain't gotta be mad though (uh-uh)
Dear hater you ain't gotta be mad
You ain't gotta be mad, you ain't gotta be mad though
[Verse]
Dear hater, no need to be where you are
Praying bad on others wishing on a star
Praying bad on yo friends in yo ignorance
Then you smile in they face and you play pretend
Put in overtime to make it to the friend zone
Just to come and drop the pass in the end zone
Dear haters listen to the words that I say
Let go of all the hate

[Verse]
Children of the most high so they gotta talk
Gotta talk about your life when you get ahead
Gotta talk about your car is it really his?
Tippy toes in the windows up in yo biz
But you gotta understand just one thing
While you spending time just wondering
Wondering why God them? Wondering why God him?
Step your dreams up and God will bless you
Step your dreams up and God will hear you
Step your prayers up and God will test you
Step your prayers up and God will make you
Step your work up and God will take you
Step your work up and God will bring you
Step your dreams up, step your prayers up
Step your work up, stop hatin' y'all
