[J. Cole - Stay 2009 lyrics]
Stay yeah
Hey groovy
Yeah yeah, hey
Stay
You can drop a "Wet Floor"
Sign down for the tears
God and my court date, the two things I fear
Man, they tryna give a nigga years
I'm tryna figure if I should even appear
Or should I skate town? Catch a Greyhound
Change my name right, catch a plane flight
Out the country, let them muh'fuckers hunt me
Come catch me if you want me
Know they'll lock me if I stay (Stay)
But where I'ma run to?
I got a good girl, we got a son, too
And all we went through
We ain't see eye-to-eye
But what you told me way back
You was a ride-or-die
So if they give me one
Or if they give me two
Or if a nigga gotta sit down and do a few
Before I go, baby, I gotta know
What would you do?
Would you find someone new or would you stay?
(Stay) like the hoes when they lay with me
Puppy eyes when I go sayin', "Stay with me"
Aw, girl, you bad as hell and, yeah
I'd love to but see
I got a girl I'm really makin' love to
Therefore I'm feelin' a lot more
Guilty when I rub you
That's why I skip all of that
Kissin' when I fuck you
Flush the condom down the toilet then I skate
I had you, but you can't have me
I never stay
Stay yeah
Yeah, that's the one (Stay)
Yeah stay
Ha! Life in a hometown
'Fore I could take a step
I'm gettin' grown now
And startin' to notice that I
See the same hoes 'round
Guess they had to go 'round
My raps is profound i got the flows
But yet a nigga ain't got no sound
Copped a beat machine
I'm cookin' up my own now
Got my mind on the city where it goes down
See, if I'ma get to where I'm goin'
Then I can't stay (Stay)
Although I love it here
I'll be damned if I sit around another year
Dreamin' dreams
Hopin' somehow that they just appear
The hardest part of leavin' is
To know my mother here
Oh, but I'm comin' back, oh boy, believe that
To show the little niggas, boy
You can achieve that
Got the city on my shoulders, piggyback
Hello, my name is Cole and I'm here to stay
Hey groovy
Yeah yeah, hey
Stay
You can drop a "Wet Floor"
Sign down for the tears
God and my court date, the two things I fear
Man, they tryna give a nigga years
I'm tryna figure if I should even appear
Or should I skate town? Catch a Greyhound
Change my name right, catch a plane flight
Out the country, let them muh'fuckers hunt me
Come catch me if you want me
Know they'll lock me if I stay (Stay)
But where I'ma run to?
I got a good girl, we got a son, too
And all we went through
We ain't see eye-to-eye
But what you told me way back
