Yeah
Well
Nas got me on some sh** on this one right here man
Yours truly
Yeah
Yeah
These are confessions of a sinner
I picked a bag and left a letter 'cause my temper seems
to get to me some times
I get sick of me sometimes
Pressure from myself is my biggest enemy sometimes
But, I hated myself 'cause of you
But now I'm done with that
That's why I'm hopin' on this train and never comin' back
And I refuse to let anyone in my way
I ain't tryna leave you behind,
But I just can't stay
Yeah I just can't stay
Yeah I just can't stay
I just can't stay,
So will I keep running away
Keep running away (keep runnin')
I hope you get to read my letter
I signed it "Sincerely Yours"
You've been hurt too many times
I see them tears of yours,
Running down your face like Yosemite Falls
But if you ever need something
Just don't get me involved
'Cause I, I gotta move on with my life
And we all got a chose
We all can speak, but not all of us got a voice
So I devote mine to the children of today
But how I'm suppose to move on, when you keep begging me to stay
Well we must of lost a pa**ion
See my mother used to love you
Ion what happened
Probably 'cause you changed
And she don't like the way the come off for
I guess the connection just must of cut off
Like an unpaid bill to Version
Over the hills, horizon
The sun is settin' I could feel it inside me
That I ain't got nowhere else to go
But I keep on pushin'
Don't want to leave
But I ain't felt this low
So I can't (stay)
Yeah I just can't stay
Yeah I just can't stay
Yeah I just can't stay
So will I keep runnin' away (keep runnin' away)
Yeah
See I missed the way we used to be
I miss the way you touched my heart
Used to be true to me, but
Now you let these n***a walk all over you
They don't treat your name with respect
And they talk right over you
k**s me every time I hear it
Slowly losing my spirit
They sabotaging your beauty, they desecrate your appearance
And. They say I'm scared that's why I'm runnin' away
I guess they right,
'Cause we all know what just might happen to me if I (stay)
I wanna leave but I'm lost without you
And I can't stand the way these motherf**ers talk about you
They say you just care for the
Money and j**els, the cars, the clothes, the fame,
And the popular dudes, glamorization the money, and livin' in glory
It just seems like you forgot about the kids with a story
But without you I wouldn't survive one more day
You saved my life
Dear Hip-Hop, I'll never leave. I'm here to stay!
