Why I Love You Songtext
von Jay‐Z & Kanye West feat. Mr Hudson

Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you, I′ll never know
Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you, I'll never know

Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you, I′ll never know
Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you, I'll never know

Picture if you will that the throne is burning, Rome is 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

Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you, I′ll never know
Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you, I'll never know

Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you, I'll never know
Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you, I′ll never know

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
Goddamn, 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? Maybe too much of a good thing, han?
Didn't I spoil you? Me or the money, what you loyal to?
Han, I gave you my loyalty, made you royalty and royalties
Took care of these niggas′ lawyer fees
And this is how niggas rewardin' me, damn

Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you, I'll never know
Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you, I′ll never know

Bussing at me, b-b-b-bussing at me
But I′m bulletproof, bitch you can't get nothing past me
Got body armor, a nigga gotta watch the throne
And I′m bussing back so niggas in a glass house should not throw stones
What do you do when the love turns to hate? Gotta separate from these fuckin' fakes
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? Only if that nigga don′t creep up
Got a pistol under my pillow, I've never been a deep sleeper
P-p-p-paranoia, 'cause the nigga that said he′ll
Blast for ya, is now blasting for ya
That′s an assassin for ya, these niggas got a shot, they'll shoot
Please Lord forgive ′em for these niggas not know what they do, ooh
