J. Cole - 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 escape town? Catch a Greyhound
Change my name, right ? catch a plane flight
Out the country, let them ma?fuckas hunt me
Come and catch me if you want me
Know they?ll lock me if I stay
But where I?mma 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?
Like the hoes when they lay with me?
Puppy eyes when I go, sayin? ?stay with me?
Aw, girl, you bad as hell and yet 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

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 around
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?mma get to where I?m goin? then I can?t 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
Let?s show the little niggas, boy, you can achieve that
Got the city on my shoulders, piggy back
Hello, my name is Cole and I?m here to stay
