Stay (2009)

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



Stay
