Stay

Shit coulda been so different, I tell you
Shit coulda been so different, I tell you

What if I've never went Highbury fields and didn't meet Jade (jade)
Shannon and Jasmin didn't meet space (sace)
Staring out the window with a deep gaze (gaze)
Hide and protect your man these days (days)

Oh Lord (oh lord)
What if I never went EC1 and didn't meet Josh (josh)
And I never asked what he's on (on)
Coulda been a friendship we lost, (lost) like
What if I never met Isaac (isaac)
That shit needed a moment of silence you should now close your eyelids (eyelids)
Reflect on time that we spent then look around with your iris

See the weather adapt to your climate
Create a world that only you vibe with
Decide your fate to say that you've tried it
This is time, we should all read between the lines
Edge is here, and now the scene's quiet
Still thinking like what if my mother never raised me (raised me)

And I was in foster care like all the kids that came to our house to stay (stay)
(Shit)
Shoulda never got close to them
Because when they leave, it's like my heart goes to them
Coulda been blood-related
Sometimes in life, you don't see shit changing
Real talk (real talk)

You can try and fight
Tell me where your running to
You will never try deny it
I've been tryin' to figure it out
Let me be your lion
We cross paths with those meant to be in our lives

So, please don't ever leave me
Please, don't ever leave me
Please, don't ever leave me
Please don't ever leave me, no
Please, don't ever leave me, no
Please, don't ever leave me

What if Eddie never posted X-Y-Z (zed)
You wouldn't of been working now we in a place where it's hard to get to (get to)
Everything happens for a reason
It's never been clear, more than now (now)
I'm tryin' to connect dots, show me how (how)
It takes the Universe to hold me down (down)
Get familiar, better know these sounds (sounds)
Looking to find the free sea (free sea)

Sitting aside, a big roof full of love you visualize to see me (see me)
Trying to provide for my family, right the same mentality up in these streets (these streets)
What if Tilla never smoked weed? (smoked weed)
What if Chucks weren't a shine to me I would never dance together when we was 14

Shit coulda been so different now, I tell you (I tell you)
Shit coulda been so different now, I tell you (I tell you)
What if our plans had fell through (fell through)
Down the road that might lead to greatness, I go (I go)
How on Earth can I leave the space if I'm home? (I'm home)
Space

You can try and fight it
Tell me where your running to
You don't never try deny it
I've been tryin' to figure it out
Let me be your lion
We cross paths with those meant to be in our lives

So, please don't ever leave me
Please, don't ever leave me
Please, don't ever leave me
Please don't ever leave me, no
Please, don't ever leave me, no
Please, don't ever leave me
Please, don't ever leave me (don't ever leave me)

Don't ever leave me, leave me (please don't ever leave me, leave me)
Please don't ever leave me, no (don't ever leave me, no)
Please don't you ever leave me, no (Don't you ever leave me, no, no ah)
