Stay (feat. Marsha Ambrosius)

I've got some things to say, oh

Please don't go

So don't you turn away, oh

Please don't go

I need you here to stay, I

I miss you so

My daddy left me and he ain't even die

So when he did go, i ain't even cry

I had reason, but that ain't even why

How could he have failed if he ain't even try

I asked no question, I ain't even pry

Truthfully, I wanted to, I can't even lie

Like a cancelled flight that ain't even fly

To just walk away like you ain't even mine

Like, like, like, I ain't even yours

I can't even say it, I ain't even sure

He shoulda gave me everything and left me even more

But he left me without saying what he was leaving for

And that's when I became a man

And that's the day he stopped being one

This year, I became a father

And I'ma die being one, what's up, son?

I've got some things to say, oh

Please don't go

So don't you turn away, oh

Please don't go

I need you here to stay, I

I miss you so

I have nightmares of me not being 'round

He took his first steps and daddy couldn't be in town

Daddy's entertaining everybody

But missed out when it came to training for the potty

I gave a fuck about hip-hop's new beef

I was more excited when my son grew teeth

So I seen the problem of the fame and stardom

Just like Em and Hailey, just like Game and Harlem

Weezy's at the awards with Ms. Carter

Nah, not his date, I'm talking 'bout his daughter

Now that's stuntin' like your daddy

'Cause it's crazy when you wanna be nothin' like your daddy

And if you never been a man

That's the day you start being one

This year, I became a father

And I'ma die being one, what's up, son?

I've got some things to say, oh

Please don't go

So don't you turn away, oh

Please don't go

I need you here to stay, I

I miss you so

So hear the truth, remain true and let me go

I won't hold that against you, I've moved on

Just look at what I've become since you been gone

Now don't you turn away, oh, please don't go

Here's what I got to say, oh, please don't go

Oh, why'd you go away, oh, please don't go

I need you here to stay, oh, please don't go

I can't believe this pain, oh, please don't go

I've got some things to say, oh

Please don't go

So don't you turn away, oh

Please don't go

I need you here to stay, I

I miss you so

Why did you leave me?

Tell me why you don't care?

Daddy, tell me, why did you leave me?

Why you don't care?

Tell me why did you leave me?

Daddy, tell me why you weren't there?

Why did you leave me?
