this is in response to Nas' track Hate Me Now:

Yes, I Will Hate You.......Now

now I truly hate no man/but some apparently think I do/ when some MCs come 
through/ and I question if they still true/ not to themselves but to their 
craft/ I just heard Nas' shit and laughed/ he thinks the reason we 
criticize/ is cuz we got that monster wit' the green eyes/ fuck you for when 
you think/ that my opinions and your papes be linked/ cuz when I tell ya 
that you fell off/ I say my reasons and you scoff/ you all materialistic now 
kid/ "well see today that's how I live/ and I 'keep it real' on each 
narrative/ so that's the lines I give"/ naw son, you squander skills/ 
limiting vocab to dolla bills/ I don't care you got a mil/ and I've already 
had my fill/ of a hundred other MCs/ who speak on the same shit/ and these 
wack beats don't even fit/ man, you used to have a gift/ what the fuck 
happened to it?/ hittin' hard in early days/ now only talk on how that paid/ 
seems the financial subject matter/ is the only time your teeth'll chatter/ 
but on deep shit you hold back or silent/ but that's what we all admired/ 
and got some of us emcees inspired/ so we dissapointed as you mired/ in an 
apparent artistic rut/ where money & women the only subject/ and if you'd 
re-define these lines/ you'd re-earn our respect/ but instead you claim I'm 
hatin'/ say I don't get the statement you makin'/ well, that point is well 
taken/ but it's time for you to awaken/ up to what the facts are/ ain't 
jealous of your home or car/ we just pissed cuz you a rap star/ who only 
raps on where you are/ instead of where you from/ and where your people 
should be goin'/ cuz son all you be showin'/ is the cash that you be 
blowin'/ on iced-down jewelery, cars & clothes/ but all that this truly 
shows/ is that from what I see/ you lost all originality/ and this money 
that you stressin' teaches wrong lessons/ to the young ones looking for 
guidance/ so don't let this point devide us/ return to your post beside us/ 
as we spread knowledge across the nation/ and make money a non-factor in the 
equasion/ cuz money ain't everything but as I speak true/ you'll just state 
back that I hate you
