[Verse 1] Concrete don’t care who you are I learned that young, still got the scars Heads turn when I pass, mouths start running Same old script, same old nothing I see it all from the observer’s eye Don’t even blink, don’t even try You can measure my steps, clock my pace I’m still gone when you finish the hate [Chorus] Haters gonna hate, that’s the job they chose Talkers gonna talk till they choke on the smoke I keep walking, chest out, head high This road don’t stop ’cause you decided to cry Haters gonna hate — let ’em I don’t even look back [Verse 2] Mixed blood, mixed world, still one man walking White boy roots and the other side talking They pick the piece they wanna use against me I keep both, they only get the enemy Empath in the chest but the face stay stone Feel every shot, still I walk alone You can throw the shade, throw the name, throw the past I’m already three blocks ahead of that [Chorus] Haters gonna hate, that’s the job they chose Talkers gonna talk till they choke on the smoke I keep walking, chest out, head high This road don’t stop ’cause you decided to cry Haters gonna hate — let ’em I don’t even look back [Bridge – drop to drums and bass, spoken] You ever notice the ones who hate the loudest are the ones standing still? I’m not arguing. I’m just moving. [Final Chorus – bigger, gang vocals on “let ’em”] Haters gonna hate, that’s the job they chose Talkers gonna talk till they choke on the smoke I keep walking, chest out, head high This road don’t stop ’cause you decided to cry Haters gonna hate — let ’em Walk on. Walk on. I don’t even look back. [Outro – fading footsteps] One foot. Then the other. Still here. Still gone.
