I did tear up hearing this. You know. Hip hop to me isn’t the same and having my favorite artist delivery this and what it felt like running through me. Priceless.
This is just so incredible. I'm trying to figure out why it's stuck in my head and how it resonates with me presently because I can't get it out my head. As I sing "Stay" each time differently it's almost like I'm singing to stay in each moment. I'm drawn to stay present and loose this grib and control I want for everything. I want to stay grounded and peaceful and stay alive in all aspects of myself.
Its all good. This joint is just so soulfully mellow. I literally am responsibe for about 400 of the 46K views. No I.D. really got it in with this one. Music is suppose to bring people together like this. Regardless who brought you here. God Bless Your Life. Live and let live!
This is one of the few songs on this record that give off an emotional feel to it. Based upon the trumpet. (If I am correct.) Either way, this beat gives off the feeling of sadness when ya shortie leave you based on wrong reasons. Good shit Nas...good shit.
A hell we dwell, farewell these omens we perceive. Forced to believe in idle beliefs we cannot see. an eternity of grief kissed with a moment's peace. with each piece I breathe a disease. uncommonly my conscience bothers me. towards the edge I see monotony, follow me please. With each casualty, the act of mastering defeats inevitably lead to victories. Viciously, the whispering breeze of being free, tarnished the gold chains which captivate me. Devastated, I elevated. the notion of transforming disarmed my enemies. battle on young paddawon, the war is won. never to forget, each crew contains a sith. as the steps of an infant, the entrance of remembrance accompanied resentment. A company of Lieutenants couldn't fight these demons. I demand a reason. are we devised to lie or are we living for higher meaning? deeper breathing, these walls are listening. As I write away my sins, using blood for ink. I began to think, are we on the brink of being extinct? nothing left to say, this world irritates and aggravates. with the swing of fate, I begin to hate. my mind aches. I wish to eliminate. but before I assimilate, she asks me to. to stay.....
Why so much hate toward cole him and Nas both did this beat justice why not give props to both instead of arguing of arguing who released it first and who's better respect the men and their love of music and rap
RIP my nigga to the days when you knew me well, But Still I had to switch up all my ways, on my Hov if not I woulda went insane, Cuz in the streets the winters cold so my soul i had to sell, Funny tho I grew up as a saint but at your funeral I heard the pastor say, “Is God even real?” Always had the faith even in your last days cuz of you I believe too, When the bills addin up I see there’s not much he can do, Yet I escaped a couple fates in exchange I see he’s sendin you,
Toast to the ones able to heal Steer the wheel and feel Not progressively get worse but to turn from stone to steel Inhale the air with the world beneath your heel They threw me out in the wild, in dire hope for my child Like a wolf in sheep’s cloak looking for my next meal Flex still My heart pressed upon my guess jacket seal Stand alone, one king one man is known To cram his dome with too many poems The land is owned By the Gods above the surface, slow your role cause you get a plug you just purchase What really hurts is He don’t deserve this He was just a young kid tryna find a purpose but got lost in the sauce no solution was working Chose the easy way out, mama please save me the mouth You don’t understand I’m hurting I’m suppressing emotions that you inserted
I swear this beat takes me to memories of living in philly...the train rides on the EL to BSL...people watching in center city...long walks from allegheny to erie ave...just chilling on the stoop just zoning...good times

at first the time drags by but then we grow and realize how fast the time flies how do the ppl we idolize become ppl we despise shit becomes obvious when u can see thru all the lies some ppl choose to stay blind or turn they head an act like they don't see but in reality they jus livin in a a fucked up fantasy
I thank god for music, when I think im bout to lose it. the rythm keeps me blinded got me unwind-ed, feeling like im in a cell in jail im confined to it, no need to lie an shit, im on my lion shit, king of this concrete jungle im on a hustle, runnin to the money gotta escape the struggle,checked the cards that i was dealt & asked the dealer did you shuffle? try to stay outta trouble but it just follows me constantly thinkin about all the ppl i owe an apology some I'll never get the chance to see
we ride until we die but for now were alive and were proud and we strive and survive all the times and spit all the rhymes all the time and spill out our minds so if you feeling my lines let it build in your spines im feeling its time to blow up the minds like i throwed up a mine tick boom out of time.a sick dude when i rhyme no fued when i sign but for now i got food on my mind
You the baby girl before I came up All these niggas stay long Baby girl you stay strong Love it with your hair long Stay with me for this song Still guilty when I rub you Still guilty when I touch you I promise to never to lay hands up on your face Your the reason why these fuck boys gonna see me change Don't listen to them girl I came to stay Like when we used to see eye to eye What can I say girl You was my ride or die So if you wanna leave I'll have you know I came to stay
My mind was closed but now its open, my heart was open but now its frozen I got a love for you that runs deeper than the ocean like you made me drink a secret love potion tryna dodge cupids arrow but i move in slow motion

Still Still Moving 22 It’s been too long For I seen it all Fog fall or fleeting cars Seen the stars Scars resting in my right arm Dawg It was nights long Turn the lights on Ask can u Stay long I remain calm Dash in my face com Reminiscing like a rerun Day long Avalanches on the brain Keep the face strong Gang Long it’s game on Stretching crow Black boy bird special-o Emphasis essentual Steady roll Still I’m with my brothers Like key locks Opening something special They ready like theme parks The coast clear Cheffed the recipe Buttered up with a soft seer 5-star I’m
Feeling life's windy storm, strange mentally alone, still only 22 years old. reflections on the mirror cold, growing old, dreams about the throne. young kid with lots to show! Whats this world got to behold? blindfold, Realize the truth behind their eyes THERE LIES, old folks told me... (STAYYYYYYY)
Its cazy you wouldnt stay with me At ya mommas house Youd fuck me and ya lay with me Everytime i see you Its more and more a game to me Thinking back like damn how this shit ever came to be How did this shit come to me My mind numb And the numbness It bring me comfort, peace And love I got to much shit on my mind I told her stay I fucking got you But you got then ill be find Feel a little cole With some pressure i can shine I done blown it all back Nd brang it back a million times call me pablo esco Cause i chopped up a lotta lines Heartbreak drake Breaking bitches makem wanna cry Seeing my brother die Make me wanna die But ill meet you in the heavens If i make it to the sky Cause the life we been livin Feeling more like suicide Ans you still wont stay with me You the best thing in my life Guess your dreams cant wait And i know i cant hate I cant blame you dont stay
"I just see things differently I ain't neva beggin for no sympathy, 'honestly, its honesty, thank you and come along wit me, yes, follow me.'" -Dr. Swagalicious
STAY angry all the time over little shit Sick of blunts, guns and liquor -- all that nigga shit Fucking sick of it, either way Im a lyricist One bad break up and my spirits filled with bitterness Ridiculous, am I really this weak? Let one woman in my life, she wrecks my psych Honesty is hard for me to achieve/ believe Every instinct screams leave, but tonight, I know I gotta STAY
Your unknown Seed sewed Your offspring Barely 5 years old when you lost me its haunting thinking of what could’ve been I wish I could fast forward To the end See the road Ahead Pray I’ll see you soon Again But until then I Trap these thoughts in my head spill out my soul with this pen Painting pictures On this pad The good The bad The sad the mad I’m mad atcha Nah I ain’t mad atcha Cause I probably would’ve done the same If I had to Leave the minny apple For the big one The city of dreams Heading for queens A young black king chasing his dreams I looked up to these scenes Dreamed of living on screens I know it ain’t what it seems The grass ain’t always green Not every diamond is shining But I’m not whining Bout my place Just dreaming of where I’ll be The visions I see So clearly I know its nearly Here But the closer I get The more I feel it disappear And slowly creeping in comes the fear My grief My strife The battles I fight And win And lose Just to realize In my ways I’m becoming more Like you Why couldn’t you stay?
