Earning the Hate
Earning the Hate: A Journey from Despair to Infamy
Lyrics
Hate is easily won
Hate is easily obtained.
But it's rarely deserved
Hate is seldom justified.
By the underserved
Hate often targets those who lack deserved opportunities or fairness.
My fate, from day number one
From the beginning of my life, I was seen as someone to despise.
Was the hated son
I was the unwanted and insignificant child.
The worthless one
I was considered without value or importance.
And I owned it
I accepted this perception of myself.
I played my part
I played the role assigned to me.
At first, I tried to fit in
Initially, I attempted to blend in with others.
I tried to pretend I was not the one
I tried to hide the fact that I was the one being singled out.
They said I was destined to be
Others predicted my fate.
But now look at me
But now, I've embraced this role; I've become the adversary.
I'm the enemy
I acknowledge and embrace my status as the enemy.
And I own it, my enmity
I claim ownership of my hostility.
I earned it in infamy
I've acquired it through notorious deeds or actions.
Fulfilling fate
By fulfilling what was expected, I've accepted my fate.
Earning the hate
Actively earning the animosity of others.
I never deserved before today
Previously, I didn't deserve this level of dislike.
In a terrible way
But now, in a dreadful way, it's upon me.
My name is great
My reputation or identity has gained significance.
Now that I've earned the hate
Now that I've obtained this hate, my name carries weight.
My prayer, down in the mud
My plea or desire, when I was at my lowest, is answered through suffering.
Answered in blood
It's responded to with bloodshed.
On the freshman lawn
Referencing a specific event in a location significant to the speaker.
My day, my very own dawn
My moment of personal triumph, the beginning of a new era for me.
Now my shame is gone
My embarrassment or dishonor has vanished.
Let my name live on
May my name be remembered positively.
And I own it, my destiny
I claim ownership of my predetermined future.
I earned it in infamy
I've gained infamy through my actions.
Fulfilling fate
By fulfilling my destined path, I've accepted the hate.
Earning the hate
Actively seeking or earning the aversion of others.
I never deserved before today
Previously, I didn't deserve this level of dislike.
In a terrible way
But now, in a dreadful way, it's upon me.
My name is great
My reputation or identity has gained significance.
Now that I've earned the hate
Now that I've obtained this hate, my name carries weight.
Fulfilling fate
Actively pursuing or accepting the hostility directed towards me.
Earning the hate
Previously, I didn't deserve this level of dislike.
I never deserved before today
But now, in a dreadful way, it's upon me.
In a terrible way
My reputation or identity has gained significance.
My name is great
Now that I've obtained this hate, my name carries weight.
Now that I've earned the hate
Actively embracing or fulfilling the destiny of being despised.
Fulfilling fate
Previously, I didn't deserve this level of dislike.
Earning the hate
But now, in a dreadful way, it's upon me.
I never deserved before today
My reputation or identity has gained significance.
In a terrible way
Now that I've obtained this hate, my name carries weight.
My name is great
Actively accepting or embracing the hostility directed towards me.
Now that I've earned the hate
Now that I've
