J. Cole — Stay 2009

[Intro] Stay Yeah Hey Groovy Yeah Yeah, hey Stay [Verse 1] 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 [Interlude] Stay Yeah Yeah, that's the one (Stay) Yeah Stay [Verse 2] 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 [Outro] Stay Hey (Stay) Stay
