I love you so
|
But why I love you, I'll never know (x4)
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Picture if you will
|
That the throne was burning
|
Rome was burning
|
And I'm sitting in the corner all alone burning
|
Why does it always end up like this?
|
Something that we don't determine
|
Same people that I fought for
|
That I fight for, that I ride for
|
That I live for, that I die for
|
Be the reason that these niggas is alive for and they want me dead
|
But I'm so sorry but I just can't die for you
|
But I can make em put their hands in the sky for you
|
We waiting for the fireworks like July 4th
|
Get fly more, get high more, cry boy, why for?
|
When the grief is over
|
Beef is over
|
I'll be fly when Easter's over
|
I tried to teach niggas how to be kings
|
And all they ever wanted to be was soldiers
|
So the love is gone
|
Til blood is drawn
|
So we no longer wear the same uniform
|
Fuck you squares
|
The circle got smaller
|
The castle got bigger
|
The walls got taller
|
And truth be told after all that said
|
Niggas still got love for you
|
|
[Hook]
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Showed love to you niggas
|
You ripped out my heart and you stepped on it
|
I picked up the pieces
|
Before you swept on it
|
God damn this shit leaves a mess don't it
|
Shit feelin' like death don't it
|
Charge it to the game
|
Whatever's left on it
|
I spent about a minute
|
Maybe less on it
|
Fly pelican fly
|
Turn the jets on it
|
But first I shall digress on it
|
Wasn't I a good king?
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
Maybe too much of a good thing, huh?
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Didn't I spoil you?
|
Me or the money, what you loyal to?
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
Huh, I gave you my loyalty
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Made you Royalty and royalties
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
Took care of these niggas lawyer fees
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
And this is how niggas rewardin' me
|
|
[Kanye West & Jay-Z]
|
Damn
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Bussin' at me, b-b-b-bussin' at me
|
But I'm bullet proof, bitch you can't get nothin' past me
|
Got body armor
|
[Kanye West]
|
A nigga gotta watch the throne
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
And I'm bussin' back
|
So niggas in a glass house should not throw stones
|
What do you do when the love turns the hate?
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
Gotta separate from these fuckin fakes
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Caesar didn't see it so he ceased to exist
|
So the nigga that killed him had keys to his shit
|
Am I my brother's keeper?
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
Only if that nigga don't creep up
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Got a pistol under my pillow
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
I've never been a deep sleeper
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
P-p-p-paranoia
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
Cause the nigga that said he'll...
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Blast for ya
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
Is now...
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Blastin for ya
|
That's an assassin for ya
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
These niggas got a shot they'll shoot
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Please lord
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
Forgive him
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
For these niggas
|
|
[Kanye West]
|
Not know
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|

|
|
[Kanye West & Jay-Z]
|
Do (Ooh)
