Eat the hate and drink their blood

You're dying as a never was

It's when, not if, I catch you ****ing up

Eat the hate 'cause I'm the judge

God will throw an uppercut

You're celibate 'cause no one wants to ****

...

Bang, bang, bang

...

I'll eat the hate

I'll eat the hate

I'll eat the hate

'Cause you'll complain

Either way

So eat the hate

...

Eat the hate, it makes me cum

Use your tongue to clean it up

Anonymous and hiding from my gun

...

Bang, bang, bang

What?

...

It's always gotta come to this

A petty nerd and a hypocrite

The world's still gonna turn around

If you're here or there or dead or found

...

I'll eat the hate

I'll eat the hate

I'll eat the hate

'Cause you'll complain

You'll complain

Either way

Either way

So eat the hate

Key Grammar Structures

• You're dying as a never was

  ➔ Present continuous used for a future result/state; Noun phrase as a predicative complement.

  ➔ The phrase "You're dying" isn't literal, but implies a decline in relevance or influence. "Never was" functions as a noun phrase describing a state of insignificance. The verb 'to be' links the subject to this description.

• It's when, not if, I catch you ****ing up

  ➔ Cleft sentence emphasizing 'when' over 'if'; Gerund as object of the verb 'catch'.

  ➔ The structure "It's X, not Y" is a cleft sentence. Here, it emphasizes that the *timing* of catching someone messing up is certain, not whether it will happen at all. "****ing up" is a gerund phrase functioning as the object of the verb 'catch'.

• God will throw an uppercut

  ➔ Future simple tense; Metaphorical use of a physical action.

  ➔ This line uses the future simple ('will throw') to suggest a divine intervention or punishment. The 'uppercut' is a metaphor for a sudden, forceful blow or setback.

• Eat the hate, it makes me cum

  ➔ Imperative mood; Colloquial and provocative language; Pronoun 'it' as a dummy subject.

  ➔ The line begins with an imperative ('Eat the hate'), directly addressing the listener. The second clause is deliberately shocking and uses slang. 'It' refers back to 'eating the hate' and acts as a grammatical subject, even though it doesn't have inherent meaning.
