Stay Awhile Lyrics - Rakim

Rakim... Clark Kent bring it on 

What you wanna say to make me stay awhile 

What you wanna say to make me wanna stay 

(repeat 2X) 

Just me and my peeps we gettin buzzed, lookin for clubs 

Misses with kisses and hugs, lookin for love 

She gotta be nice with hers, even with cookin some grub 

Once I'm in I meet her friends, then I'm hookin my thugs 

We'll be blowin hundreds, always knowin where the fun is 

Roadrunners findin more spots than Columbus 

Pocket full of phone numbers from some of the world wonders 

I take my time, and find where the right one is 

Smooth as jazz but more than a half, ready for math 

And on a steady path, like Betty Shabazz 

And when I see the wiz I'ma step to my biz 

And there she is, let's see if she pass the quiz 

It's appropriate we go get soakin wet 

Toast, we met, become close associates 

The place is ours by now I can embrace your style 

So much flavor I can taste your smile, stay awhile 

Why don't you, stay a little while 

Stayyayyayyy, stay a little while, child 

Baby, why don't you, stay a little while 

Stayyayyyayy, ayyyayyy, stay a little while, child 

Baby, why don't you 

We on the low matin, infiltratin, negotiatin 

We both be makin moves and dough, M.O.'s relatin 

She ain't takin I want it but yo I know she waitin 

I throw the bait in, and before you know we datin 

I want the format, to the doormat 

Contacts fast, callbacks and all that 

Your deepest ecstasy see you wear accesory 

Your secret recipes to your bear necessities 

She real exotic body feel like Lucile Roberts 

Name brand closets, culturized products 

Claws like a scorpion caught me in deeper 

But juice sweeter, enough to buy a two seater 

Every mile I plan to have your mind beguiled 

Til it informs me more than you would normally allow 

Raised more than an eyebrow with a flagrant style 

By now I can taste your smile, stay awhile 

Chorus 

Sometimes it's hard to fight it and not let her see me get excited 

But she know I like it, she know the deal like a psychic 

Mind is haunted, because I always find her on it 

She know what I want, where I want, when I want it 

Blowin up my Motorola, daddy you comin over? 

She on the sofa, holdin a remote controller 

Candles burnin lower, favorite dish gettin colder 

She hot as solar, cause I told her I wanna hold her 

But her mission she sittin in one position like Yoda 

A TV show is on to top it off she dead sober 

Then I open the door up, and kiss her on the shoulder 

She say I'm rollin, like Mr. Lover Lover 

We had a hard day, ready to parlay 

My thirsts they obey everything that God say 

Okay let's play awhile and I'll embrace your style 

So much flavor I can taste your smile, stay awhile 

Chorus w/ variations to end
