The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You'd take the clothes off my back, and I'd let you

You'd steal the food right out my mouth

And I'd 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

Air all my laundry in the streets

Dirty or clean

Give it up for fame

But I still don't know why (Don't know why)

Why I love it so much, yeah

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 here, one day you there

One day you care, you're so unfair

Sipping from the cup 'till it runneth over, Holy Grail

Uh, Blue told me to remind you niggas

Uh, fuck that shit y’all talkin' about, I'm the nigga

Uh, caught up in all these lights and cameras

Uh, but look what that shit did to Hammer

Uh, goddammit I like it

The 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 cheatin' on me

What I do, I took her back, fool me twice that's my bad

I can't even blame her for that

'Nough to make me wanna murder, Momma please just get my bail

I know nobody to blame

Kurt Cobain, I did it to myself uh

And we all just entertainers

And we're stupid, and contagious

Know we all just entertainers

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 here, one day you there

One day you care, you're so unfair

Sipping from the cup 'till it runneth over, Holy Grail

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 them 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, sittin' 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 that bath water you're still alive

Still that nigga nigga, you survived

You still getting bigger nigga living the life

Vanilla wafers in a villa, illest nigga alive

Michael Jackson thriller

And baby

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

I just can't crack the code

One day you screaming you love me loud

The next day you're so cold

One day you here, one day you there

One day you care, you're so unfair

Sipping from your cup 'till it runneth over, Holy Grail

You get the air of 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 (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 who’s name

But I still don't know why

Why I love you so much

Yeah

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 here, one day you there

One day you care, you're so unfair

Sipping from your cup 'till it runneth over, Holy Grail

Don't know why
