Why I Love You

Producers：Kanye West/Mike Dean

Oh, I love you so

But why I love you, I'll never know

Oh, I love you so

But why I love you, I'll never know

Oh, I love you so

But why I love you, I'll never know

Oh, I love you so

But why I love you, I'll never know

Picture, if you will, that the throne's burning

Rome's 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 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 when love is gone 'til blood is drawn

'Cause we no longer wear the same uniform

F*ck you, ******s, 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

Oh, I love you so

But why I love you, I'll never know

Oh, I love you so

But why I love you, I'll never know

Oh, I love you so

But why I love you, I'll never know

Oh, I love you so

But why I love you, I'll never know

Showed love to you n!ggas

You ripped out my heart and you stepped on it

I picked up the pieces 'fore you swept on it

Goddamn, this sh!t 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, huh?

Didn’t I spoil you? Me or the money, what you loyal to?

Huh, I gave you my loyalty

Made you royalty and royalties

Took care of these n!ggas' lawyer fees

And this is how *****s rewarded me, damn

Oh, I love you so

But why I love you, I'll never know

Oh, I love you so

But why I love you, I'll never know

Bussin’ at me, b-b-b-bussin’ at me

But I’m b*lletproof, b!tch, you can’t get nothin’ past me

Got body armor

A n!gga gotta watch the throne

And I’m bussin’ back

So n!ggas in a glass house should not throw stones

What do you do when the love turns to hate?

Gotta separate from these f*ckin' fakes

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?

Only if that n!gga don’t creep up

Got a pistol under my pillow

I’ve never been a deep sleeper

P-p-p-paranoia

'Cause the n!gga that said he’ll

Blast for ya is now

blastin' for ya

That’s an assassin for ya

These n!ggas got a shot, they’ll shoot

Please Lord, forgive him

For these n!ggas not know what they do, ooh
