Stay (2009) Lyrics - Truly Yours - J. Cole

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

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
