Haters

Are people who want what you have
They want what you got
But don’t have a pot to piss in
Or a window to throw it out

They are irritated
Seemingly discombobulated
And will smile in your face
But want to take your place

They talk about you behind your back
Such a cowardly act
Wishing they could be behind the wheel of your automobile
Your identity they’d quickly steal

Sometimes they cringe at your presence
Highly upset about your motivation
Say all kinds of negative things about you
And the oxymoron is that they would love to do what you do

They comment on everything
From your hair to your clothes, your car to your house
They become so fixated on you
They don’t know how to shut their mouth

Always talking trash
Like a loud mouth in class
So worried about you
Things in their lives start to slip through

You have to watch a Hater
Pay close attention
Like watching a T.V. show
Before the intermission

They can be slick
They can be bold
Plots and plans to bring you down
Their hearts are very cold

Hateration is real
Not false, but true
You never know if you got a Hater
Who is in your Crew

So keep an eye out and your ears open
For some things that may come to light
Don’t be surprised if you ever discover
A Hater to your left and to your right

Sometimes they are the ones you never thought
Would act in such a way
And always remember
A Hater dreams to live life in your shoes everyday!
