Nas - Stay ft. J. Cole lyrics

[Refrain] [Verse 1:Nas] Peace to the Five Percenters, online engine inventors Shout to them n***as Family men, bringing home dinners Watch out for desperate lonely women, hurt your happy home Miserable and alone Kissable, nice to bone She not the type deserving of a throne Her beauty is her curse She f** for shoes and a purse Make me a movie first Can watch you on my phone I shop in Barcelona I spend some nights in Rome Feel like a Knight from England That's what I named my son, Knight He was born to be one That's how my game was won White 740 Beamer Licked by an angel's tongue I'm living dangerous son She got a man, a famous one Honey be pocket watching, she got a lot of options Hard to make up her mind deciding which baller to rock with Hot to d**h, slim pickings but I'm not impressed She got the hottest s** So I guess I'mma just stay [Refrain] [Verse 2:Nas] Even though I don't like you Next Friday night can't wait to fight you Locked up I would knife you Don't f** with you Last month I even bucked at you, you got locked I felt bad, wait do I got love for you I might k** you but do I got love for you I want you dead under six feet of soil At the same time Want you here to witness me while you in misery We hate each other but it's love What a thug mystery Years ago they ate the hearts of a slain enemy We enemies but your hatred could never enter me Some seek fame cause they need validation Some say hating is confused admiration Spotlight on me I still look twenty Still get money, lady k**er Pushing a Bentley Maybe n***as could see too much of they failures through a n***a who realer I don't like you near bruh, but I need you to stay [Verse 1: 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 n***a 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'f**as 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 n***a 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 f** you Flush the condom down the toilet then I skate I had you, but you can't have me, I never stay [Hook] Stay [Verse 2: J. Cole] 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 n***a 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 n***as, boy, you can achieve that Got the city on my shoulders, piggy back Hello, my name is Cole and I'm here to stay
