Why I Love You
The Throne Lyrics

I love you so
I have intense feelings of affection towards you

But why I love you, I'll never know
I am unsure of the root of my love for you

Picture if you will That the throne was burning Rome was burning And I'm sitting in the corner all alone burning
Imagine a scenario where everything I have built and hold dear is in flames, and I am sitting all by myself, consumed by the fire

Why does it always end up like this? Something that we don't determine
Why do things always end badly, even when we don't have control over them?

Same people that I fought for That I fight for, that I ride for That I live for, that I die for Be the reason that these niggas is alive for and they want me dead But I'm so sorry but I just can't die for you
The people I have always supported and fought for are the same people who want me dead, but I cannot lay down my life for them

But I can make em put their hands in the sky for you We waiting for the fireworks like July 4th Get fly more, get high more, cry boy, why for?
I can still make them show support for you, but why do we always have to engage in reckless behavior to feel alive or get attention?

When the grief is over Beef is over I'll be fly when Easter's over I tried to teach niggas how to be kings And all they ever wanted to be was soldiers
When the difficult times pass, and the conflict is resolved, I will still be successful. I attempted to teach others how to lead but all they wanted to do was fight.

So the love is gone Til blood is drawn So we no longer wear the same uniform Fuck you squares The circle got smaller The castle got bigger The walls got taller And truth be told after all that said Niggas still got love for you
Love fades and is only reignited by violence. We are no longer on the same side fighting for the same cause. The people around me have become less but the things I have attained have increased. Still, people around me have love for me.

Showed love to you niggas You ripped out my heart and you stepped on it I picked up the pieces Before you swept on it God damn this shit leaves a mess don't it Shit feelin' like death don't it Charge it to the game Whatever's left on it I spent about a minute Maybe less on it Fly pelican fly Turn the jets on it But first I shall digress on it Wasn't I a good king?
I have shown love to those around me, but they have betrayed me and left me to pick up the pieces of my own heart. This has left me feeling devastated and destroyed. I will try to move on and accept what has happened. I have been chasing success but I must pause to reflect on whether I have been a good ruler.

Maybe too much of a good thing, huh?
Perhaps I have been too generous and kind to those who don't deserve it.

Didn't I spoil you? Me or the money, what you loyal to? Huh, I gave you my loyalty Made you Royalty and royalties Took care of these niggas lawyer fees And this is how niggas rewardin' me Damn
I have given everything to these people, including spoiling them with extravagant gifts, paying their legal fees, and making them successful. Yet, this is how they repay me? With betrayal and disloyalty?

Bussin' at me, b-b-b-bussin' at me But I'm bullet proof, bitch you can't get nothin' past me Got body armor
People are attacking me nonstop, but I am impervious to their attempts. My armor protects me.

A nigga gotta watch the throne And I'm bussin' back So niggas in a glass house should not throw stones
I must be vigilant and watchful of those who want my position. I am now retaliating and they should not try to take me down if they have their own secrets.

What do you do when the love turns the hate? Gotta separate from these fuckin fakes
What do you do when your love turns into hate? You must distance yourself from those who were never honest or true.

Caesar didn't see it so he ceased to exist So the nigga that killed him had keys to his shit Am I my brother's keeper? Only if that nigga don't creep up
Even Caesar was not aware of the betrayal against him and was murdered. This means that someone close to him had access and performed the deed. Therefore, I must ask myself, am I responsible for the actions of those around me? Only if I did not see their betrayal coming.

Got a pistol under my pillow I've never been a deep sleeper P-p-p-paranoia Cause the nigga that said he'll... Blast for ya Is now... Blastin for ya That's an assassin for ya These niggas got a shot they'll shoot Please lord Forgive him For these niggas Not know What they Do (Ooh)
I have intense anxiety and fear that someone will come and kill me in my sleep. The person that once promised to protect me is likely the person who now wants to kill me. This is the behavior of an assassin. I am aware that these people who want to kill me sometimes don't know the gravity of their actions and I pray for their forgiveness.
