Jay-Z recently opened up about some of his relationship troubles with the new D’Angelo collaboration “I Want You Forever.” Featured on the soundtrack of Jeymes Samuel's latest comedy-drama, "The Book of Clarence," the track is not only a musical creation by Samuel but also incorporates the soulful bookends contributed by D'Angelo. Within this composition, Jay-Z delivers a profoundly personal verse, adding a unique and intimate touch to the overall musical experience.
"Life don’t taste the same without you/Tears in my champagne ‘bout you/Quit playing girl, you know I’m crazy ‘bout you,” he raps on the verse, assumedly rapping about his relationship with Beyoncé. "You know that week you ran back to your mama house, ask my friend, they can vouch/Slept on the couch ‘cause the bed ain’t a bed without you."
He closes the verse, indicating that he’s a changed man after wronging his partner.
" Love you for my life, and I put that on my dead/Put that on my daddy’s new porch, cigarettes/He blew cancer rings, I got toxic traits/Look who coaxed the ghost out my body, got me straight/I don’t want no smoke, baby girl you fire/Can’t end up like my folks, nah."
