[CunninLynguists, Slug - Don't Leave lyrics]
Ridin' down the roadlookin' out the window
At times it can feel like
Home is when I'm gone
On only roads we roam, Cali to Rome
Me and everybody I love livin' through phone
Never been one for hugs, but I long
Across time zones for strength from fam
Who are only with me through
Video and digital camera
Lookin' for answers, seekin' the chance ta
Make up for time that got
Lost in these stanzas
The click of my heels ain't
Takin' me to Kansas
Thinkin' bout Tuck got me
Stuck in these transit's
My heart speaks Sanskrit with no translator
My soul seeks a hand-stiched
Love and a prayer
Shit, I'm everywhere, but home
I'm never there
And some I care for say I'm February air
Don't even know the mayor's name
In my own town been makin' noise but forgot
How my home sound
"but please, don't leave me standing here
When the winter comes"
Listen up, I've been meaning to say this
I'm not the greatest
I'll never make that list
But everytime I come home
You're still there waitin'
In case I never said it
Thanks for your patience
Never got rich and famous, don't get me wrong
There's a lot of different faces
That listen to the songs
But there's no big time
Never wrote the hit rhyme
Had to roll the highway just
To go and get mine
And when I got it, I brought it back to you
Wasn't even sweatin' you was reppin'
With a new crew
I don't expect you to hold your breath
Just know you're blessed
And let me get that open chest
Look, you've cried with me
You've tried to forget me
You feel neglected cause sometimes I'm busy
You still hold me down on the Southside
Dig me
You always forgive me, cause you're my city
"but please, don't leave me standing here"
To make it happen with this rappin'
Is a part of my goal
But leavin' you little man
Takes a part of my soul
Believe me, daddy know it ain't gon' be easy
Better this then have you waitin' for
The state to release me
Seein' me through glass
Missin' moments to squeeze me
I'll be damned
I want for you all that I never had
No growin' up with hate for an invisible dad
Wanna hold you when you cry
Tickle you 'til you laugh
I'm tryin' to walk a path
Right now you don't understand
You two and barely talkin' and
Yet you my greatest fan
I love you more then life
You with me every flight
I leave in dead of night to
Keep from hearin' you cry
My luggage outta sight to fight
Off the say goodbye
If you could form the words
I know you'd say "Daddy, why?"
And I would have to tell you how
This is for you and I
I'll be back 'fore November
But daddy has gotta fly
"but please, don't leave me standing here
When the winter comes when the winter comes
Oh when the winter comes"
"Gonna keep on walkin' forward
Keep on walkin' forward
Gonna keep on walkin' forward
Never turning back
Gonna keep on walkin' forward"
At times it can feel like
Home is when I'm gone
On only roads we roam, Cali to Rome
Me and everybody I love livin' through phone
Never been one for hugs, but I long
Across time zones for strength from fam
Who are only with me through
Video and digital camera
Lookin' for answers, seekin' the chance ta
Make up for time that got
Lost in these stanzas
