I Gotta Stay
Big K.R.I.T. · Other Songs - Big K.R.I.T.
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, but I got to stay
all aboard I heard em 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 u at peace in your mind no longer ache
in your heart finishing star rising sun finally hear
you father and sir & we're done I strive to be half
of what u 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 Ima see you when I see you.
I told her you should go home its better that way I
wish I could come with you but I got to stay,
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 look at his pictures on the shelf
phone ringing everyday friends gone away wishing u
could go but you had to stay I sit and cried with you
soon the villains 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 its
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 its better that way I
wish I could come with you but I got to stay,
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, but I got to stay
I wish I could come with you but I got to stay,
but I got to stay, but I got to stay
all aboard I heard em 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
