[Chorus]

Nobody loves me

Sometimes the world can seem so cold

Looking through the windows of my soul

I've seen the truth and now I know (I know, I know, I know)

Y'all gotta love me

When the weight of the world was on my shoulders

You were there

When it got heavy, I held it

You were there

The ones that stood by me like soldiers

You were there



I know you love me



[Verse One]

But I'm still waiting for the Lord to come hug me

Send a sign or somethin'

Is it all for nothin'

The talent and Passion of mine

I'm sick of sufferin'

I know your plans is greater than mine

So I'm asking

Why do you want me dead or alive

And how could you let the people see me through the enemy's eyes

Like, jealousy, envy, Feds wanna convict Gotti

I'm thinking probably we was gettin' too much money

Too many niggaz in whips sittin' on 20's

Too much connections to the streets, y'all niggaz doin' somethin'

And after overall assumptions, or it's all or nothin'

Ain't nothin' stopping the second coming, except the coffin

I may be incased, but even from there I still touch 'em

niggaz ain't promised tomorrow, that's why we still hustle

For all my niggaz that can't be here

For every tear, send my a prayer, I swear



[Chorus]





I Know You Love Me



[Verse Two]



But what's love, when your friends become enemies

Your nightmares are no longer your worst dreams

And as bad as everything seems

Keep hustling

We gon' get it by any means

How unfortunate, January the sixth

Federal officers, raided our offices

Making it hard for us to eat, to breathe, to live

And they swear they got niggaz thats informing them

They've been handin' down indictments for about a year

And they aint sent nobody to jail yet, we still in the clear

In the Bible it says, "Thou shall not fear no man but God"

Whoever said that, ain't never faced the law

And why all this fad probings going on

I'm fighting niggaz, swingin' back against the wall

That's for my niggaz that can't be here

For every tear, send my a prayer, I swear



[Chorus]



I Know You Love Me



[Verse Three]

How could you hate me, why would the Lord forsake me

With the weight of the world on my shoulders

Im thinkin' I could brush it off and nobody notice

Keep raisin' my kids: Whitney, Jeffry, and Jordan

Keep coppin' new whips: Bentleys, Benzes, and Porshes

My niggaz, and my fans is the only thing of importance

It's crazy how the world turns

Sometimes, you gotta light up and let it burn

Sweep up your ashes, put 'em up in a urn

On a mantle for memories

I hear you callin' me, Lord knows you love me

The Passion of Rule is so real, just lend me your ear

You'll feel what I feel, you'll tear when I tear

The vision's real clear, just look in my eyes

I believe in putting my life in the hands of God

For all my niggaz that can't be here

For every tear, send me a prayer, I swear



[Chorus]



I Know You Love Me
