[Chorus]
I fucked her the first night and then I never called again
Next time lil' shawty seen me, I was ridin' with her friend
This alligator Kelly, not the Stacy, please
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby

[Post-Chorus]
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Hopped out the Lamborghini and she ate me
All this water on my sleeve, I need a jet ski (Yes, sir)

[Verse 1]
Hopped off a Delta to a private jet (Hopped off)
Hopped out, Beretta, then I shot his neck (Grrah)
Green face AP, I'm 'bout to call it Shrek (Green, green)
Throw me a baddie and I caught the catch (Go)
How you don't hate the game and hate me? (Me)
Lot of flaw and misconceptions what it be (Yeah)
I done came back from the dust, wipe off the leaves (Yeah)
I don't want none of these sluts from off the streets

[Chorus]
I fucked her the first night and then I never called again
Next time lil' shawty seen me, I was ridin' with her friend
This alligator Kelly, not the Stacy, please
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby

[Post-Chorus]
This baby blue Rolls-Royce done made lil' shawty drop her jaw
A nigga gettin' so big, I gotta get drove 'round by the law
Got tattoos up her sleeve, we on a shoppin' spree
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby

[Verse 2]
I just left the Cullinan up at Copenhagen (Skrrt-skrrt)
Rolls-Royce sittin' on my wrist, and, yes, it plain gold (Oh, oh)
I told that bitch, "Don't fall for that lil' chainsaw" (Oh, oh)
Turn it on from off and cut your name out (Yeah)
My watch and my rings and my chains cost (Oh, oh)
My boxers and my tank, they done came off (Oh, oh)
Fuck cops, 'til then I bang with my thang out (Yeah)
I drank sauces, yeah-yeah, yeah (Oh, oh)

[Bridge]
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby

[Chorus]
I fucked her the first night and then I never called again
Next time lil' shawty seen me, I was ridin' with her friend
This alligator Kelly, not the Stacy, please
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby

[Post-Chorus]
This baby blue Rolls-Royce done made lil' shawty drop her jaw
A nigga gettin' so big, I gotta get drove 'round by the law
Got tattoos up her sleeve, we on a shoppin' spree
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby

[Outro]
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby

Young Thug

Jeffery Lamar Williams (b. August 16, 1991), popularly known as Young Thug, is an innovative trap artist from Atlanta known for his experimental vocal styles on versatile production ranging from hard trap beats to experimental pop records. Thug is known as a pioneer for much of the 2010s generation of rap, and his constant cosigns, features, and chart presence cement his status as a leader in the streaming era and current rap scene.

While Young Thug released his first mixtape in 2011, it wasn’t until fellow ATL trap artist Gucci Mane took Thug under his wing in 2013 that he began to see great success as an artist. That year, Thug released his first major hit, “Stoner,” which quickly gained viral traction on social media, then “Danny Glover,” which propelled him to an even larger scale of success. After Gucci Mane went to prison in 2013, Thug saw success by re-aligning himself with Cash Money Records’s own Birdman and his newly-formed Rich Gang collective with the hit single “Lifestyle” and a collaborative mixtape before officially signing to 300 Ent. in 2015. Under 300, Thug continued to release many more singles, mixtapes, and features, gradually boosting his popularity before releasing his debut album, So Much Fun, which topped the Billboard 200 on August 31, 2019.

After 2015’s “Best Friend” became Thug’s first platinum single, his 2016 collaboration with Travis Scott, “pick up the phone,” became his new highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100. This would later be succeeded by “Havana” with Camila Cabello, the best-selling single of 2018. However, his current highest-charting song as lead artist is “Hot,” which topped the Rolling Stone 100 and peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing his previous biggest hit, “The London,” which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
