Slug - Don't Leave (When Winter Comes) lyrics

[Verse 1-Deacon da Villain] Ridin' down the road...lookin' out the window At times it can feel like home is when I'm gone On only roads we roam, Cali to Rome Me and everybody I love livin' through phone Never been one for hugs, but I long Across time zones for strength from fam Who are only with me through video and digital camera Lookin' for answers, seekin' the chance ta Make up for time that got lost in these stanzas The click of my heels ain't takin' me to Kansas Thinkin' bout Tuck got me stuck in these transits My heart speaks Sanskrit with no translator My soul seeks a hand-stiched love and a prayer sh**, I'm everywhere, but home, I'm never there And some I care for say I'm February air Don't even know the mayor's name in my own town Been makin' noise but forgot how my home sound "...but please don't leave me standing here, when the winter comes" [Verse 2-Slug] Listen up, I've been meaning to say this I'm not the greatest, I'll never make that list But everytime I come home, you're still there waitin' In case I never said it, thanks for your patience Never got rich and famous, don't get me wrong There's a lot of different faces that listen to the songs But there's no big time, never wrote the hit rhyme Had to roll the highway just to go and get mine And when I got it, I brought it back to you Wasn't even sweatin' you was reppin' with a new crew I don't expect you to hold your breath Just know you're blessed, and let me get that open chest Look, you've cried with me, you've tried to forget me You feel neglected cause sometimes I'm busy You still hold me down on the Southside, dig me You always forgive me, cause you're my city "...but please don't leave me standing here..." [Verse 3-Natti] To make it happen with this rappin' is a part of my goal But leavin' you little man, takes a part of my soul Believe me, daddy know it ain't gon' be easy Better this then have you waitin' for the state to release me Seein' me through gla**, missin' moments to squeeze me I'll be damned, I want for you all that I never had No growin' up with hate for an invisible dad Wanna hold you when you cry, tickle you 'til you laugh I'm tryin' to walk a path, right now you don't understand You two and barely talkin' and yet you my greatest fan I love you more then life, you with me every flight I leave in dead of night to keep from hearin' you cry My luggage outta sight to fight off the say goodbye If you could form the words, I know you'd say "Daddy, why?" And I would have to tell you how this is for you and I I'll be back 'fore November, but daddy has gotta fly "...but please don't leave me standing here, when the winter comes When the winter comes, oh when the winter comes" "Gonna keep on walkin' forward, keep on walkin' forward Gonna keep on walkin' forward, never turning back Gonna keep on walkin' forward"
