That Obie Story was tight...but I'll hafto say:

You Must Love Me: Jay-Z

Since my date of birth, brought you nothing but hurt
Play those video games, stole change from your purse
Sat at the cold court bench, 'til I was arraigned in ya skirt
Saw da pain n ya face, still u 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 1 thing now, you're not the blame
U was newly seperated, tryna exscape ya world
And thru my thirst...I didn't help you, I just made things worse.......
I hate me, and everybody that created crack
Has me thinking tha newest kicks, and tha latest gats
Still haven't apologized, so please, play this back
While I try to come to terms in such a, heinous act
U kno in more than 1 way cocaine numbs tha brain
All I did was think about how da fun once came
Then I ran across this memory and it stung da brain
How can you ever destroy tha beauty from which one came
That's a savage, you're the reason why me and these beats make a marraige
Why I rhyme above average, and I aint shit
Glad you got yourself together, no thanks to me
Strong and beautiful, tha way things should be
You Must Love Me

Say that you love me
All I know say that you must love me.
Ohh yeah

We used to fight every night and I never would suffer
Just smile, my big brothers tryna make me tougher
As we grew, tha fussing n fightin contin-ued
As I plumbered through ya stuff and snuck ya clothes to clothes
Got intense, real intense as we got older
Never believed, it would lead to me popping on in ya shoulder
With my rings, knew u had it cause u took too long
As Mickey, Annie and tha girl that bought it looked on
Huffin and puffin, gun in my hand, told you step outside
Hopin yo said no, but you hurt my pride
Made our way down tha steps, maybe you thought it was just a threat
Or maybe ur life was just that crazy, that you was begging for death
Tried to justify this in my young mind, but the adrenaline
And my ego both combined, drove me bizerk
Saw tha devil in ya eyes, high off more than weed
Confused, I just closed my young eyes and squeeze
...what a sound, opened my eyes just in time to see you stumblin to da ground
Damn, what tha fuck I done now
Runnin around in a circle, thinkin im assed out
Hot gun, burning my waist, ran str8 to Jaz house
Like a stranger, damn, I just, shot my nigga
And ran off into tha night as if it was, not my nigga
Left da scene, how could I go out tha way
Still you asked to see me in tha hospital da next day
You Must Love Me


Deepest shit....real talk...3rd verse gets even more intense...

Crazy!!

You Must Love Me:Jay-Z
In My Lifetime: VOl.1


Edit: oh, and this was a deep song, because when jay spit it, you could tell it was a changing part in his life. He opens up, and admits his wrongs and shooting his own flesh and blood, but they still forgave him, when he didnt hafto...by them forgiving him for his wrongs, it made jay who he is today. And this song means a lot to me also, because I can feel dudes pain. I can relate..I didn't shoot my own brother, or sold my own momma drugs, or let tha love of my life get caught wit drugs (3rd verse)...but when you think about it, I did some things in my life that I aint proud of, and that tha ones closest to me forgave me for, and that made me who I am today...

So, props to Jay for tha song....If you can forgive me for all this shit we been thru...even when I dont deserve it...you must love me!
