Why?
Mary J. Blige/Rick Ross Lyrics

I've been logging in my bed, crying til my eyes are red
I have spent countless nights crying in bed until my eyes are swollen

We both said that things will change
We both agreed that we would make changes and things would be different

But it's still the same shade of grey
Despite our efforts, everything feels stagnant and unchanging

I get mad you walk away
I become angry and confrontational, and you respond by leaving the situation

When it all just start to fade
As things begin to fall apart and lose their meaning

I know you're fed up so am I
I am aware that you're tired of the situation, and so am I

But we just can't say goodbye
Despite our struggles, we cannot bring ourselves to end things

Boy, you know I love you
I want you to understand that I do love you

But I just can't go on no more
Although I care for you, I cannot continue to live like this

Feelin' this way
I am consumed by sadness and uncertainty

You got me sayin' why, why, why?
I am questioning our relationship and struggling to understand why things aren't working

Can't we get it right?
I am desperate for us to make things work out and improve our relationship

Just can't get it right
Despite our best efforts, we cannot seem to make things work out

Don't know why, why, why?
I don't understand what we're doing wrong or why we're struggling

No matter how hard we try
We're putting in effort, but it's not leading to any positive results

I got her looking at me sideways
My companion is suspicious of or uncertain about me

Live every night like it's a Friday
I'm trying to live each day to the fullest and have as much fun as possible

My conversations are so monumental
My words and thoughts are significant and meaningful

Licking on her ear, I'm whispering a couple riddles
I am whispering intriguing and cryptic messages into my partner's ear

She fell in love with my technique
My partner is deeply attracted to the way I approach things

I made her call me boss when in the bedsheets
I control the sexual dynamic in my relationship

We both coming from the same place
Despite our differences, we share a similar upbringing or background

All in her both coming at the same place
We are both reaching an intense emotional or sexual state simultaneously

Still on my dope boy swag
I am still maintaining my cool demeanor and confidence despite my struggles

Top down on my Cam'ron, Oh boy swag
I'm driving around in a flashy car with a carefree attitude

Played the hand we were dealt from the beginning, baby
We have both been forced to deal with our difficult circumstances from the start of our relationship

Ya the dealer, cut the deck, while we winning baby
We have managed to overcome our hardships and are currently succeeding as a couple

Can't we turn love around
I am hoping that we can find a way to save our relationship

We build it up to break it down
Despite our attempts to make things better, we always seem to end up back where we started

If you knew the way I feel
If you were aware of my true emotional state

You would know that this love is real
You would understand the strength and sincerity of my feelings for you

But live in heaven, go to hell then
Although things might be good between us now, things could easily turn sour

Go right back, across the lesson
Despite past mistakes, we are willing to make the same mistakes all over again

Tired of stressin', get the message
I am exhausted from constantly worrying and anxious, and I want to make positive changes

I can't live in this depression no more
I cannot continue living in this state of sadness and hopelessness any longer

Back on my own again
I am finding myself alone once more

I don't want this to end
I am yearning for things to improve and for us to heal our relationship

But baby I need a friend to show me some more
I am in need of support, encouragement, and love from my partner

Characteristics of a charismatic nigga, 20 million on a villa, what’s illa
I have an impressive and attractive persona, with a lavish lifestyle

We livin’, lil boys gotta work at that
I am living the high life, but others might perceive it as a result of hard work and dedication

Gettin’ cash, so I snatch my girl a perfume bag
I am spending my wealth on material items for my partner

Blowin kisses out the drop top, that nigga got gwop
I am displaying my wealth and success as I blow kisses out of my expensive car

Stay in ya house when the block hot
It's best to remain at home during dangerous or high-risk situations

Makin love that will not stop,
We are engaging in sexual activity that is passionate and intense

Bed sheets to the countertop
Our sexual activities are causing our bed sheets to fall off the bed and onto the counter

Diamonds my baby down to rock
My partner is wearing expensive diamond jewelry
