You Must Love Me Lyrics

Kelly Price (Jay-Z)

 Talking: Throughout my life (uh huh uh huh uh)

 no matter what I've done.(Right)

 You've been merciful and your love endureth (yeah)

 through all things (ye yeah) For that

 I am eternally grateful.

 

 Verse 1

 Since my date of birth

 bought you nothing but hurt

 play those video games

 stole change from ya purse

 Sat on the cold court bench

 'til I was arraigned in ya skirt

 Saw the pain in ya face

 through you maintained a smirk

 All you did was motivate me

 don't let 'em hold you back

 What I do I turned around

 and I sold you crack

 I was a bastard for that

 still I'm drowning in shame

 Just remember one thing now

 you're not to blame

 You was newly seperated

 tryin' to escape ya world

 and through my thirst

 I didn't help you

 I just made things worse

 I hated me and everybody

 that created crack

 Had me thinkin'

 the newest kicks and the latest gat

 Still haven't apologized

 so please play this back

 while I try to come to terms

 with such a heinous act

 you know in more than one way

 cocaine numbs the brain

 All I did was think about

 how the funds once came

 then I ran across this memory 

 and it stung the brain

 How can you ever destroy the beauty

 from which one came

 That's a savage you're the reason

 why me and these beats make a marriage

 why I rhyme above average and

 I ain't shit

 Glad you got yourself together

 no thanks to me

 Strong and beautiful the way thangs should be

 You must love me

 

 Chorus (K. Price) (You must love me repeats in background)

 Say that you love me

 All I know say that you must love me.

 Ohh yeah

 

 Verse 2

 We used to fight every night

 but I never would suffer

 just smile my big brother's

 tryna make me tougher

 As we grew fussing and fighting continued

 as I plundered through ya stuff

 and snuck ya clothes to school

 Got intense real intense

 as we got older

 Never believed it would lead

 to be popped in one of ya shoulda

 With my rings knew you had it

 'cause you took too long

 as Mickey, Andy, and the girl that bought it looked on

 Huffin' and puffin' gun in my hand

 told you step outside

 Hoping you said no but you hurt my pride

 made our way down the steps

 maybe you thought it was just a threat

 or maybe ya life was just that crazy

 and you was beggin' for death

 try to justify this in my young mind

 but ya drillin' it

 and my ego hurt combined

 drove me berzerk

 Saw the devil in your eyes

 high off more than weed

 confused I just closed

 my young eyes and squeezed 

 What a sound 

 opened my eyes just in time

 to see ya stumbling to the ground

 Damn what the fuck I done now

 runnin' around in a circle

 thinking I'm assed out

 hot gun burnin' my waist

 ran straight to Jazz' house

 Like a stranger damn I just shot my nigga

 and ran off into the night as if it was not my nigga

 Left the scene how could I go out that way

 Still you asked to see me in the hospital ya next day

 You must love me.

 

 Chorus (You must love me repeats in background)

 What after all the wrong I've done

 I know you must

 

 Verse 3 (Starts over last line of chorus)

 Everything in my power and within my frame

 to protect you from this life and

 keep you away from the game

 But you was one of the few people

 that I can trust

 and the fact of the matter I slang

 these pies for us

 You put the pressure on me dearly

 rarely would you let it go

 Was a thousand and one times

 I had to tell you no

 When it was one of those days

 when nobody was around

 and I needed emergency trip

 out of town

 Searched my mental rolodex

 for all the numbers I know

 As you stared in my face

 asking me could you go

 I'm agreed said sender

 everything'll go smooth

 just tell her what to do

 and everything'll go through

 Strapped her body with them thangs

 as you boarded the plane

 Couldn't explain these strange feelings 

 that I caught and the pain

 I'm thinkin' why would I send you

 when I knew it ain't right

 I'm thinkin' what would

 make you sacrifice ya life

 You must love me

 

 Chorus (You must love me repeats in background)

 After everything that I've done wrong

 I know inside you must love me

 I know that you love me

 You showed me I know it

 I know

 Say that you love me

 say that you love me

 I know you must love me

 Oh yes you do

 Inside I know it

 you've always shown it

 you love me yea yeah

 Oh yeah

 I know that you love me
