[Verse 1: Justin Timberlake]

You take the clothes off my back

And I let you

You'd steal the food right out my mouth

And I watch you eat it

I still don't know why

Why I love you so much

Oh

You curse my name

In spite to put me to shame

Have my laundry in the streets

Dirty or clean

Give it up for fame

But I still don't know why

Why I love it so much

Yeah

[Hook]

And baby

It's amazing I'm in this maze with you

I just can't crack your code

One day you screaming you love me loud

The next day you're so cold

One day you're here, one day you're there, one day you care

You're so unfair sipping from your cup

Till it runneth over, Holy Grail

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]

Bleu told me to remind you niggas

Fuck that shit y'all talkin' about

I'm the nigga, caught up in all these lights and cameras

But look what that shit did to Hammer

God damn it it I like it

bright lights is enticing

But look what it did to Tyson

All that money in one night

30 mill for one fight

But soon as all the money blows, all the pigeons take flight

Fuck the fame, keep cheating on me

What I do, I took her back, fool me twice

That's my bad, I can't even blame her for that

Enough to make me wanna murder

Momma please just get my bail

I know nobody to blame

Kurt Cobain, I did it to myself

[Bridge: Justin Timberlake]

And we all just entertainers

And we're stupid, and contagious

Now we all just entertainers

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]

Now I got tattoos on my body

Psycho bitches in my lobby

I got haters in the paper

Photo shoots with paparazzi

Can't even take my daughter for a walk

See 'em by the corner store

I feel like I'm cornered off

Enough is enough

I'm calling this off

Who the fuck I'm kidding though?

I'm getting high

Sitting low

Sliding by

In that big body

Curtains all in my window

This fame hurt

But this chain works

I think back

You asked the same person

If this is all you had to deal with

Nigga deal with

It, this shit ain't work

This light work

Camera snapping, my eyes hurt

Niggas dying back where I was birthed

Fuck your iris and the IRS

Get the hell up off of your high horse

You got the shit that niggas die for

Dry yours

Why you mad

Take the good with the bad

Don't throw that baby out with the bath water

You're still alive

Still that nigga

Niggas you survived

You still getting bigger nigga

Living the life

Vanilla wafers

In a villa

Illest nigga alive

Michael Jackson's, Thriller

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]

[Bridge]

You get the air out my lungs whenever you need it

And you take the blade right out my heart just so you can watch me bleeding

I still don't know why

Why I love you so much

Yeah

And you play this game in spite to drive me insane

I got it tattooed on my sleeve forever in ink with guess whose name

But I still don't know why

Why I love it so much, yeah.

[Hook]

Don't know why...
