[Lyrics] Holy Grail by Jay Z feat. Justin Timberlake

When I first listen to this song, I immediately fall in love with it....the way that Justin Timberlake has grown in his vocal and the way he sings...simply awesome! Not forgetting the ever great Jay-Z when it comes to rap....I first heard of Jay-Z while listening to Linkin Park and this man....the rap just goes with him.

[Intro: Justin Timberlake]

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 our love is so much, ohh

(Thanks for warning me, thanks for warning me)

You curse my name, in spite to put me to shame

Have my laundry in the streets, dirty or clean, give it up for fame

But I still don't know why, why I love it so much

(Thanks for warning me, thanks for warning me)

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]

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

You're so unfair, sipping from your cup 'til it runneth over, Holy Grail

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

Blue told me remind you niggas

Fuck that shit y'all talking 'bout, I'm the nigga

Caught up in all these lights and cameras

But look what that shit did to Hammer

Goddammit it I like it

Bright lights is enticing but look what it did to Tyson

All that money in one night, thirty mill for one fight

But soon as all the money blows, all the pigeons take flight

Fuck the fame, keep cheating 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

[Bridge: Justin Timberlake]

And we all just entertainers

And we're stupid and contagious

And we all just entertainers

[Hook]

[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

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 calling this off

Who the fuck I'm kidding though, I'm getting high, sitting 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, 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 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 the baby out with the bath water

You 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's Thriller

[Hook]

[Bridge: Justin Timberlake]

You get the air out my lungs whenever you need it

And you take the blade right out my heart, just so you can watch me bleed

And I still 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 whose name

But I still don't know why, why our love is so much

[Hook]
