[Hook]
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 n*ggas 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 n*ggas 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
f*ck you squares
The circle got smaller
The castle got bigger
The walls got taller
And truth be told after all that said
n*ggas still got love for you
[Hook]
I love you so
But why I love you, I'll never know (x4)
[Jay-Z]
Showed love to you n*ggas
You ripped out my heart and you stepped on it
I picked up the pieces
Before you swept on it
God damn this sh*t leaves a mess don't it
sh*t 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 n*ggas lawyer fees
[Jay-Z]
And this is how n*ggas rewardin' me
[Kanye West & Jay-Z]
Damn
[Hook]
I love you so
But why I love you, I'll never know (x4)
[Jay-Z]
Bussin' at me, b-b-b-bussin' at me
But I'm bullet proof, b*tch you can't get nothin' past me
Got body armor
[Kanye West]
A n*gga gotta watch the throne
[Jay-Z]
And I'm bussin' back
So n*ggas in a glass house should not throw stones
What do you do when the love turns the hate?
[Kanye West]
Gotta separate from these f*ckin fakes
[Jay-Z]
Caesar didn't see it so he ceased to exist
So the n*gga that killed him had keys to his sh*t
Am I my brother's keeper?
[Kanye West]
Only if that n*gga 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 n*gga 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 n*ggas got a shot they'll shoot
[Jay-Z]
Please lord
[Kanye West]
Forgive him
[Jay-Z]
For these n*ggas
[Kanye West]
Not know
[Jay-Z]
What they
[Kanye West & Jay-Z]
Do (Ooh)
