Big K.R.I.T. - I Gotta Stay lyrics

I told her you should go home
It's better that way
I wish I could come with you
But, I got to stay, but I got to stay

All aboard I heard them call your name
I knew you got your ticket
Now you're on your way
And it was hard to watch you wave goodbye
I write you here and there
With no need to reply
It's just I lost a good friend
In a time of need
Like forever would be better but
This time your free
Hate you left us kind of selfish
Just to think that way
You going home don't worry what
You probably would say
But yeah it hurts I smile at the thought of
You At peace in your mind
No longer ache in your heart
Finish and start, rise with the sun
Finally hear your father say
Servant well done
I strive to be half of what you was
I'm just hoping that I can carry on your love
And I regret all the times I had to leave you
I promise I'mma see you when I see you

I told her you should go home
It's better that way
I wish I could come with you
But, I got to stay, but I got to stay

Your motherly hands used to
Usher Sunday mornings
Played the tambourine so well
Reminiscing on my granddaddy
Shed tears as you looked at
His pictures on the shelf
Phone ringing everyday, friends gone away
Wishing you could go, but you had to stay
I sit and cried with you
Soon the fellings of the past aware
One day that you pack your bags
Turn to me and ask don't fret when I leave
This earthly body of mine done
Did all of it's deeds
Crawled till it walked and held
All it could breathe
Carry on what I taught you was given thru he
To you from me, in times like this believe
I got a call like you used
To get just the other day
They told me you'd gone home to stay

I told her you should go home
It's better that way
I wish I could come with you
But, I got to stay, but I got to stay

Now I know what you meant
When you used to say
If I had wings, wings, wings
I'd fly away, I'd fly away
Lord, if I had wings, wings, wings
I'd fly away, I'd fly away

I told her you should go home
It's better that way
I wish I could come with you
But, I got to stay, but I got to stay
