Текст песни Why I Love You - Shells

Ohhh...
Sure now baby, baby, baby
Ooohooo...
I don't know why I love you
(Right)
I don't know
(C'mon)
Why I love you
(Let's talk to 'em)
I don't know why I love you
(Right, right)
But I love ya
(C'mon)
(C'mon)

Before I was me
I used to watch it, kept my face in the screen
A little youngin'
Thought about balling
With nothing between
Switched over
Yeah later, started chasin' the dream
Same hunger, different sport, all I need is a team
The first song I heard, I remember, was "Juicy" by Big
And if I'm right, me and my moms were cleaning the crib
Promoted it, as if I knew 'em, every time I left home
My cousin locked up - I played it for him over the phone
In June of '95 is when I started to cook
Same year I lost my V
And the game lost E
Observing the game
Watching both pleasures and pain
And every Saturday I'm on my bed ready for Soul Train
Young in the field, way before I thought of a deal
Being teached and taught
Old school records been bought
Althought it sounds great, that's what it seems to be
Think about it. It started the east-west coast beef
(Talk to 'em)

Ohhh...
Sure now baby, baby, baby
Ooohooo...
I don't know why I love you
(Right)
I don't know
(C'mon)
Why I love you
(Let's talk to 'em)
I don't know why I love you
(Right, right)
But I love ya
(C'mon)
(C'mon)
(C'mon)

Records is dropping
And now dudes dissing each other
Went from, loving the game
Now they made with each other
And videos got my little brother's heart in the street
He want what he see on TV like 'change that bling'
I love the fact that you can do this and move off your block
I hate the fact that if you done too much, you're bound to get shot
Big Pun, Big L, Biggie Smalls, and Pac:
Y'all are the main reason why I ain't got it in me to stop
I gotta deal with funny people, who act like we cool
I don't know you if we didn't attend the same school
I gotta watch when I'm shining, they plotting to scheme on me
And catch me from the blind side, putting the beam on me
Or cause I got a lil' name and a lil' fame
And it's me girls yell for, when performing on the stage
I ask my self, "Am I ready for this?"
Do I really wanna see myself caught in the mix?
(Why wouldn't I?)

Ohhh...
Sure now baby, baby, baby
Ooohooo...
I don't know why I love you
(Right)
I don't know
(C'mon)
Why I love you
(Let's talk to 'em)
I don't know why I love you
(Right, right)
But I love ya
(C'mon)
(C'mon)
(C'mon)

There's always an issue
I gotta wake up, preparin' my day
I can't be late for a meetin', if I do then I pay
Different people in my face, they tellin' me different things -
What to do and not to do, my lifestyle just changed
No more late night, kickin' it on the corner with fellas
Deadlines for me, my aeronauto don't want me in the street
I listen and understand cause together we eat
They said, out of 24 hours, 4 I sleep
I had a girl back home
Who was mad when i was leaving
We fought over phones
I took her down before leavin' her
Sistas always flippin' out
Younger brother's missin' me
This here got me to put gifts under the Christmas tree
I'm hated on by people I never met
Anyone could get me robbed for the chain on my neck
But if you ask me, I promise, wouldn't want it to stop
Homie, I'm dedicated and built for this
I love hip-hop
That's why:

Ohhh...
Sure now baby, baby, baby
Ooohooo...
I don't know why I love you
(Right)
I don't know
(C'mon)
Why I love you
(Let's talk to 'em)
I don't know why I love you
(Right, right)
But I love ya
(C'mon)
(C'mon)
(C'mon)
