Hey ladies, yo! Bamaniaré ladies, yo!
They called us thieves— I didn’t say it
They called us liars — I didn’t say it
They said that we sleep around— I didn’t say it
Haters always find a reason to hate
Yeah, yeah guys, yo! Soudaniaré guys, yo!
They called you thieves— I didn’t say it
They said you commit crimes— I didn’t say it
They said that we sleep around— I didn’t say it
Haters always find a reason to hate
Chorus:
Let’s take a seat, sit back,
Haters always have a reason to hate
Hey guys, yo! Guys across the world, yo!
They called you thieves— I didn’t say it
They said you commit crimes— I didn’t say it
They said that you sleep around— I didn’t say it
Haters always find a reason to hate
Yeah, there’s so much hate!
Those two-faced friends
They’ll always find a reason to hate
Those enemies in the family
They’ll always find a reason to hate
Those so-called friends
They’ll always find a reason to hate
Those damn hypocrites
They’ll always find a reason to hate
Ladies, there’s nothing wrong with you
Haters always find a reason to hate
A woman’s wicked husband...
Haters always find a reason to hate
Oh yes, people are bad! People, they’re bad!
People are bad, they’re BAD!
Lowdown people are bad
Really though, they’re BAD!
A mean-spirited rival is no good
Oh, their mean-spirited words!
They lied about me and said,
‘Koné, you’re a worthless thief’
Two-faced friends are bad
They speak… and they hate
Hey ladies yo, Bamaniaré ladies, yo!
They called us liars— I didn’t say it
They called us thieves— I didn’t say it
They said that we sleep around— I didn’t say it
Haters always find a reason to hate
Yeah, guys, yo! Soudaniaré guys, yo!
They called you thieves— I didn’t say it
They said you commit crimes— I didn’t say it
They said that you sleep around— I didn’t say it
Haters always find a reason to hate
A reason to hate,
Haters always find a reason to hate
