Stay

(アルバム： Ethos - 2022)

One need the strong alone
Dey carry e own weight, make e own way
But every heart need another to hold
E dey call from long long way
Shey you no go stay, you no go stay
You no go stay, you no go stay
Shey you no go stay

Never been around when I was needed most
Lost too many people now I'm seeing ghosts
My childhood trauma and my ego spoke
Both telling me that all I need is notes
Never been the same since I lost my dad
Dear mother if you leave, I might lose my grasp
I've been holding on, been going I'm used to that
Cos all I used to have, was the will I use to rap
Now I have you, how am I supposed to act
I keep Projecting on you, and you too woke for that
I've been condescending, not pretending, not been friendly too
Feels like my world is ending, try to change
But I keep offending you, so what I'm to do
I see you walking out on me, I know what I'm about to lose
And I'm not asking you to choose, cos if I were in your shoes
I'd choose me instead of you

One need the strong alone
Dey carry e own weight, make e own way
But every heart need another to hold
E dey call from long long way
Shey you no go stay, you no go stay
You no go stay, you no go stay
Shey you no go stay

There's friction in our home, but I'm fixing up my tone
Speaking to you grown you play the victim for your own
Benefits, no benefits for sitting with my phone
If you don't get a text, check, I'm with the microphone
Not with some chick, for my sins I atone
Got this sick addiction, for just being on my own
Been running round I'm burning out, ain't been around all day
Been sneaking out been sleeping out, ain't been around your way
It's hard to prioritize emotions when drowning in slowmotion
All this drama round my way
I've been immortalizing Jayy like I ain't thought about you once
That's why you're walking out on me (aye)
Be a man they always say all these bills I got to pay
If I break no one will save me
But I'm asking will you stay, the sacrifices that I make
The black taxes that I pay (sing)

One need the strong alone
Dey carry e own weight, make e own way
But every heart need another to hold
E dey call from long long way
Shey you no go stay, you no go stay
You no go stay, you no go stay
Shey you no go stay
