I finally Hate u (album version)

Lyrics

[Intro - dark sub-bass rumble, sparse 808s, deep male spoken-sung vocal, vinyl crackle]
Yeah...
Mmm...
I gave you my trust, you gave me a scar

[Verse 1 - repeating bassline, cold R&B groove, low-register vocals, muted turntable scratches]
You put dirt on my name, told the world I was the villain
Smilin’ in my face, then you twist it when you spill it
Talkin’ bad ’bout me with the ones you said you loved
Now I hear my name in mouths that never knew my blood
Comin’ home late, drunk as fuck, eyes red, heart hollow
Lyin’ through your teeth like tomorrow’s somethin’ we can follow
You said “baby, I’m yours,” but your touch never matched your tone
Now I see the truth in the cold light when I’m alone

[Pre-Chorus - tension rises, beat strips back, layered harmonies, echoing ad-libs]
And I tried to ignore it
Tried to call it love
But your whole damn story
Was a mask made of dust
You was fake when you held me
Fake when you stayed
Now the love of my life
Is the reason it changed

[Chorus - heavy 808s return, bassline on repeat, deep powerful vocal, turntable cuts, full R&B bounce]
I’m ready to get out this relationship immediately
You crossed every line, now you don’t get to come near me
Talkin’ all that slick shit, made me a joke to your friends
But I see through the smoke now, this is where it ends
You been fakin’ the funk, baby, I finally know
All that “I love you” talk was a lie in the glow
I don’t want your touch, don’t want your late-night calls
I used to love you deep, now I hate you after all

[Verse 2 - darker groove, turntables mixed with the beat, colder synth layers, deep male vocal with restrained anger]
You was out with my bros, movin’ sneaky in the shadows
Smilin’ in the daylight, but the night time told me sorrow
Too many missing pieces, too many stories don’t align
Too many whispers in the room, too many crossed-out lines
You said it wasn’t nothin’, said I’m trippin’, said I’m crazy
But the truth don’t need permission when the lies are gettin’ shady
I watched the whole thing crumble while you played me like a fool
Now the mirror don’t lie, and I’m finally done with you

[Break - beat pauses, bass drops out, tense silence, breathy spoken vocal]
Pause...
Listen...
You had me blind, but not anymore

[Bridge - beat switches, minimal kick and eerie keys, deep vulnerable vocal turning hard]
I gave you my heart, you gave me a reason to leave
Gave you my peace, you gave me pain I can’t receive
No more excuses, no more “we can work it out”
I know what you did, and there’s no saving us now
You can keep the memories, keep the lies, keep the mess
I’m done being loyal to somebody who gave me less

[Final Chorus - beat switches harder, massive 808s, repeated bassline, chopped vocals, ad-libs]
I’m ready to get out this relationship immediately
You crossed every line, now you don’t get to come near me
Talkin’ all that slick shit, made me a joke to your friends
But I see through the smoke now, this is where it ends
You been fakin’ the funk, baby, I finally know
All that “I love you” talk was a lie in the glow
I don’t want your touch, don’t want your late-night calls
I used to love you deep, now I hate you after all

[Outro - bassline repeats, filtered turntables, fading ad-libs, cold reverb]
Yeah...
I hate you...
For what you did to us...
Bass keep runnin’... just let it ride...
