Lyrics You Must Love Me - Jay-Z

You Must Love Me

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
