You'd take the clothes off my back and I'd let you (Yeah)

You'd steal the food right out my mouth and I'd watch you eat it

I still don't know why (Yeah)

Why I love it so much (Thanks for warning me; yeah)

Oh (Thanks for warning me; yeah)

You curse my name in spite to put me to shame (Yeah)

Hang my laundry in the streets, dirty or clean, give it up for fame (Yeah)

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

Why I love it so much (Thanks for warning me; yeah, yeah)

Yeah (Thanks for warning me; yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake & JAY-Z]

And, baby, it's amazin' I'm in this maze with you

I just can't crack your code

One day, you're screamin' you love me loud

The next day, you're so cold

One day, you're here (Yeah), one day, you're there (Yeah)

One day, you care (Yeah), you're so unfair

Sippin' from your cup 'til it runneth over (Uh, uh; yeah)

Holy Grail

[Verse 1: JAY-Z]

Uh, Blue told me remind you niggas, uh

Fuck that shit y'all talkin' 'bout, I'm the nigga, uh (Yeah)

Caught up in all these lights and cameras, uh

But look what that shit did to Hammer (Yeah), uh

Goddamn it, I like it

Bright lights is enticin'

But look what it did to Tyson

All that money in one night

Thirty mil' for one fight

But soon as all that 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

Enough to make me wanna murder

Momma, please just get my bail

I know nobody to blame

Kurt Cobain, I did it to myself, uh

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake & JAY-Z]

And we all just entertainers

And we're stupid and contagious (Yeah)

No, we all just entertaine—

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake]

And, baby, it's amazin' I'm in this maze with you

I just can't crack your code

One day, you're screamin' 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

Sippin' from your cup 'til it runneth over

Holy Grail (Yeah)

[Verse 2: JAY-Z]

Now I got tattoos on my body

Psycho bitches in my lobby

I got haters in the paper

Photo shoots with paparazzi (Yeah)

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 callin' this off (Yeah)

Who the fuck I'm kiddin', though?

I'm gettin' high, sittin' low

Slidin' by in that big body

Curtains all in my window (Yeah)

This fame hurt, but this chain worse

I think back you asked the same person

If this is all you had to deal with

Nigga, deal with, this shit ain't work

This light work, camera snappin', my eyes hurt

Niggas dyin' back where I was birthed

Fuck your iris and the IRS (Yeah)

Get the hell up off your high horse

You got the shit that niggas die for, dry yours

Why you mad? Take the good with the bad

Or throw the baby out with that bath water

[Pre-Chorus: JAY-Z]

You're still alive, still that nigga

Nigga, you survived, still gettin' bigger

Nigga, livin' the life, vanilla wafers in a villa

Illest nigga alive, Michael Jackson's Thriller

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake & Jay-Z]

And, baby, it's amazin' I'm in this maze with you

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

I just can't crack your code (Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh)

One day, you're screamin' you love me loud

The next day, you're so cold (Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)

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

One day, you care, you're so unfair (Uh, uh, uh, uh)

Sippin' from your cup 'til it runneth over

Holy Grail (Yeah)

[Bridge: Justin Timberlake]

You get the air out my lungs whenever you need it (Yeah)

And you take the blade right out my heart

Just so you can watch me bleed (Yeah)

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

Why I love you so much (Yeah, thanks for warning me)

Yeah (Thanks for warning me)

(Yeah) And you play this game in spite to drive me insane (Yeah)

I got it tattooed on my sleeve forever in ink

With guess whose name?

But I still don't know why (Yeah, don't know why)

Why our love is so much (Thanks for warning me; yeah)

Yeah (Thanks for warning me; yeah)

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake & Jay-Z]

And, baby, it's amazin' I'm in this maze with you

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

I just can't crack your code (Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh)

One day, you're screamin' you love me loud

The next day, you're so cold (Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)

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

One day, you care, you're so unfair (Uh, uh, uh, uh)

Sippin' from your cup 'til it runneth over

Holy Grail (Yeah)

[Outro: Justin Timberlake]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Don't know why
