Plies- "why u hate me", the title explains the ignorance itself. You is not spelled as "u", spelling you that way is called slang that was made up to shorten a word or by definition slang is; an informal nonstandard vocabulary composed typically of coinages, arbitrarily changed words, and extravagant, forced, or facetious figures of speech. In his song he contradicts himself by creating this song as to asking , why we hate him so much but he puts the blame on the typical aspects people tend to point the finger at, for instance the government or "the other color". Well, let's talk about "the other color". If you look at blacks vs. whites, my belief nowadays is that, blacks are just as racist, if not more now, as whites have ever been. So why do people like Plies think that it's the "white" people that oppress them when their word is only two colors in a rainbow world. According to this rap song white people make "their people" live in those shitty conditions, and we have that much power over them, then why haven't we just whipped their color out completely? Or why are there interracial marriages? Why are more blacks that are less qualified allowed into college over whites just because of their color? and why do we have a BLACK PRESIDENT if the "whites" are the "oppressers"? It just gets me so riled up when I hear "black people" talk about how whites are the reason they live in the ghettos when now, with all the advances we have made, they have the same opportunities as whites in the public system. When you ask the blacks that sit there and complain, ask them why they never went to school or succeeded in a professional matter? What I have learned is that they either didn't go to high school or ended up in jail therefore making his chances of getting a job impossible and inevitably wind up in the ghetto and "oppressed". I'm not saying that all black people are like this by any means, I'm also not a "racist" at all, I just can't stand when people talk ignorantly about certain issues or problems in our society and point the blame finger at everyone else but themselves when really, it's themselves.

Plies Why U Hate Me lyrics

when i ask the government,why y`all hate us so much?
when i ask the other color,why y`all hate us so much?
when i ask the law,why y`all hate us so much?
when i ask the prosecutor,why y`all hate us so much?
is it our skin color,or is it the way we talk?
u hate us cause we us,or u hate cause we folks?
is it the way we live,or is it the way we walk?
we never had shit,so it can be none we bought...
this shit y`all take us two, priory reason we off...
our priory still got it,only thing we ain`t lost...
defending our self shit,that was something we was told...
we been through the roughest time,but all ain`t our fault...
wish i can add up the years in prison our peoples caught...
the government is stripper,we ain`t really have to chose...
your peoples go to college,my peoples go to court...
your peoples born with money,my peoples born broke...
your peoples live in mansions,my peoples homes from robes...
your peoples had it man,all my peoples had was hope...
your peoples had help,all my peoples heard was no...
my peoples thought about it,your peoples cut our doughs...
respect we have for one another shit when even close...
we had to hear it tamed,that was only opened door...
if you wanna make we had it rough singing tried spooks...
we couldn't `t afford a full ride shit my peoples poop...
my people ain`t mad,your peoples hate us though...
but we the one`s struggling,so why you hate us for?
the police wanna us bad,the judge hate us more...

the jury thinks we guilty before we come through the door...
and y`all take our money,but y`all won`t help us though...
and y`all biggest fear to see my people grow...
but our biggest fear dying before we turn 24...
and every lord is pass,is trying sink us more...
and every time we go to till you got paid though...
but when we ask for money,y`all slam the door...
they say our president black,but we can tell though...
we only got ourselves,now that`s what real though...
i know u hate our guts,that`s how you fear though...
but y`all ain`t got to like us,just let us live though...
and cause we black bruh,don`t mean we still though...
and cause we from the ghetto,don`t mean we gone bro...
we just small as yours but y`all want the world to know
but all we wanna know...
why y`all hate us so much?
why y`all hate us so much?
why y`all hate us so much?
all we wanna know...
why y`all hate us so much?
why y`all hate us so much?
why y`all hate us so much?
all we wanna know...
