about

"Stay" is a very poignant song that covers personal issues of abandonment, mental health, as well as the grim expectations thwarted on a young man growing up in and around impoverished communities. In this song, I reflect on past relationships, hardships, failures, while trying to maintain a grip on a thread of hope." - Namir Blade

lyrics

My granny wakes up almost every day and she pray for me.
I got a girl who really aint my girl. It's too late for me.
I fucked around and gave up everything that she gave to me.
She prolly slaved for me,
Swear she would slay for me.
Even if we were the last people on earth she would save a seat. I could see how things went left. I just went deaf what you say to me?
She prolly hated me.
I ain't tryna go and blow your back out just lay with me.
I just need a listening ear. Could you stay with me?
(bridge)
Could you stay with me?
If i played it cool
Would you wait for me?
Just one day for me
(Hook)
All i wanna do eat good
Sleep good, fuck good, blow tree
Cool it dowwwnn

Put all my eggs in one basket for you.
Take the knife out my back and go Ninja Assassin for you.
Prolly look foolish as fuck, when I'm out here spazzing for you.
Toe to toe with a dragon for you, hope my ashes will do.
Unsatisfactory, lately I've been a factory for unwarranted tragedy.
S'like the devil's been lashing me. Having thoughts about suicide, lately it's been attracting me to the edge. Is this actually purgatory, or is it all in my head?
My momma said keep on living this world will tear you down.
I been alive 25, they're dressing me like a clown.
Isolated even when all my niggas around. Cacophony stalking me audibly causing me.
Anxiety frying me, shortcomings follow me constantly. Pray my fear never swallows me to the depths and then hollow me out. Explain myself but barely know what I'm talking about.

I saw a demon body jump when I was only 5. His kindness turned into cruelty before my very eyes.
Cruelty turned to a beating, I blacked his eye, started screaming. The world went black in an instant. When I regained my vision, I saw the world different. A vicious cycle of prostituting yourself and pimping. We had dreams of going the distance. But then you sacrificed yourself just to work for a living.
The big homie used to tell me that it's money to get, Pussy to hit, profit to split, niggas to juug, cool it down.
(Chorus)
