”They gon’ love you a little different when you at the top…”
Ain’t that the truth!
Today’s jam is ‘LoveHate Thing’ by Wale ft. Same Dew. The song is the second track off of the Nigerian-American rapper‘s latest album, The Gifted, which has been in stores since June 25th.
When asked about the premise of the song, Wale tweeted this:
The idea behind “lovehate thing” is what comes with shine.Passive aggressive hate from those closest to u. I feel like everybody can relate
On the hook, crooner Sam Dew sings:
While Wale raps:
I lost a lot of friends and they ain’t even dead
When I was on my way up, why you ain’t see the stairs?
Lord father if I opted to follow them
My heart would tear from my dreams let me know that you here
And it’s rare when I’m anywhere with too many heads
Niggas jealous and never tell it until they stare
How could you blame us envy?
We do the same thing for a living
This is definitely one of my favorite songs right now.
