yeah, I'm a Born Hater

Epik High's new album inspired me to dig up my rendition of "Born Hater" that i never posted.

(yes it's just the same text copy and pasted from my tweet—just b/c I always feel like the embed is on the verge of breaking or in case my twt account ever goes down LOL)

Honestly surprised at myself for never posting this all these years... If I'm remembering correctly I think I wrote this before Epik High announced their Born Hater cover contest—and then aaalllll the cool rappers started posting their versions and I got intimidated HAHA. It's a bit cringy but I'm embracing it as part of my story. :3 Still would likely consider it better writing than what I can do now!

Lyrics:

Yeah, I'm a Born Hater

Liquid hate in a syringe

The world's the worst nurse

Got an illness, swear I sinned

By choosing wings

Dunno which skies are stormy

Ain't got no smartphone to check it

Nobody to tell me but

They got plans

For me marathoning

Apparently

Built for this shit but lost the manual

Fuck belonging

Systematic Deathaholic

"You'll fit right into this mold"

And I can play but you're just

Asking to be trolled

Put away that hourglass

Telling us that our last

Glimpse of raw joy is sealed with child's laughter

Gotta be free, take a leap

Eat some mackerel

(Oop, that's my weeb showing)

I'm a Born Hater

Of the rules, puppetmasters

Paths, expectation, graduation, predictability, toxicity

Society's detailed bullshit

Now tell me what you hate my friend. :>
