about

Stay is about Calvin's upbringing and youth in Columbus, Ohio.

lyrics

I want you to stay,
I can’t, I won’t, I don’t wanna stay, oh no, I want you to stay,
Ain’t nothing here for me,
Making it clear for me ha,
Stay where? stay here?
I can’t,
fuck you thought? fuck you think?
I gotta break the whole bank,
I use to sip from the kitchen sink lip under catching water,
adapted to walking on egg shells too disciplined by my own father, I didn’t know how to be too timid but I gotta see,
what world had to offer there was an author inside of me,
I start writing start thinkin start floating and stop sinking,
didn’t wanna risk missing my chance I stop sleeping I stop blinking, I use battle by the lockers,
I use to plot up with the robbers,
my homies had spirits on em and rocks too,
but damn sure wasn’t chakras,
we was at with ourselves,
man we was poor and needed help,
I had a dream they didn’t believe but I couldn’t force no one else,
I had to focus put these niggas on notice,
seem when shit get real all your friends scatter round like roaches, what is here? What is there? Man What is fear? man I don’t care, my vision deteriorates,
this shit will rot if I don’t just get the fuck out of here.
I want you to stay,
I can’t, I won’t, I don’t wanna stay, oh no, I want you to stay,
Ain’t nothing here for me,
Making it clear for me ha,
I want you to stay,
I put all my time in this bitch,
Now it’s time for me to switch,
I want you to stay,
Yeah, I know,

You heard what I said!
Mind already made up you really gon beg?
We in a race for the top i put some money on it,
sticking to the damn plan like I spilled honey on it,
respect you owe me it,
want me to stay funny way showing it,
short on my luck where my clovers went,
doggin me out like a Pitt and Doberman,
these streets through me off,
unlearned what they taught,
was taking advice from all these employees how the fuck will I be boss, it’s super cold in the winter and these summers get too hot,
was living in LEGO land gotta see what’s outside these blocks,
most my niggas got glocks,
don’t hesitate on a opp,
they wanna go out in fashion with these expiring clocks,
what’s a Rolex when ya time out?
Materials can’t go to heaven it took all this time to find out,
Boy what ya grind bout?
let’s talk about legacy look at the legs off me,
run with Godspeed my heart is pure this passion I bleed,
I can not stay you gave all that I need. I must go!
I want you to stay,

I can’t, I won’t, I don’t wanna stay, oh no, I want you to stay,
Ain’t nothing here for me,
Making it clear for me ha,
I want you to stay,
I put all my time in this bitch, Now it’s time for me to switch, I want you to stay,
Yeah, I know,
I want you to stay, I want you to stay, I want you to stay, I want you to stay,
