Why You Always Hatin? (feat. Drake and Kamaiyah)

YG's track 'Why You Always Hatin?' featuring Drake and Kamaiyah is a bold declaration of success and a direct confrontation of envy. The song's lyrics revolve around the theme of dealing with haters and the jealousy that often accompanies success. YG opens the song by addressing those who are not part of his inner circle, emphasizing the need for space and the reality that not everyone will celebrate your achievements. This sentiment is echoed throughout the song, with YG questioning why people are always hating on him and his crew.

The song also delves into the complexities of mixing friendships with business, as YG mentions that 'friends and business don't mix,' leading to a sense of brotherlessness. This line highlights the often isolating nature of success, where personal relationships can become strained due to professional achievements. The repeated references to material success, such as copping a Benzo and driving a Maybach through the projects, serve as both a testament to YG's accomplishments and a trigger for the envy he faces.

Drake's verse adds another layer to the narrative, discussing his own experiences with envy and the challenges of maintaining relationships in the face of fame. He mentions sliding into DMs and handling his business, all while dealing with people trying to box him in. The recurring question, 'Please tell me why you always hatin'?' serves as a rhetorical device, emphasizing the frustration and confusion that comes with being the target of unwarranted negativity. The song ultimately serves as an anthem for anyone who has faced jealousy and criticism on their path to success, encouraging them to keep pushing forward despite the haters.
