3rd person.
It's a mistake, and it should read "she hates me".

Vedi adesso che cosa avevi dimenticato? Non ci avevi dato il contesto, per
cui le risposte iniziali non furono quelle che aspettavi.

A proposito di forme come queste, tempo fa andava molto questa canzone:

Non sono mai riuscito a capire perché è usato "That don't impress me much" e
non "That doesn't impress me much"...

 non "That doesn't impress me much"...
In general, it's bad English. There are some subcultures where it's the
normal way of speaking.

The preceding is my opinion of modern, colloquial, American English. I
point this out to avoid confusion; references to British English may appear
to contradict the foregoing.
If you feel the need to e-mail me, un-not my address first.

 non "That doesn't impress me much"...
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie: cocaine.

 normal way of speaking.
Eminem says "you was" in his songs too
-- 
Yeah, whatever...


Eminem draws his lyrics from the background of the black "rappers" of
Detroit, as his film "8 Mile" illustrates, so it is not surprising he
would use language associated with blacks in his songs.
Joe from Massachusetts

 normal way of speaking.
That's what I thought, thank you Joey...

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie: cocaine.
But this is a case of the use of artisic license (unfortunately mine's
been revoked), as opposed to the ebonics quoted above.
"She doesn't lie, she doesn't lie, she e doesn't lie: cocaine" would
sound pretty silly in the context of a blues song, no? 
Sounds sort of like the Momon Tabernacle Choir covering Jimi's "Manic
Depression" .

 do they forget a letter or do i forget something?
imo the original phrase was
 "she ate me"
                                                                  :)
