Stay Down

It gets hard when you're out all by yourself and the grass is high

And you don't even see all the snakes that's passing by

Always keep two eyes open

Steady praying with these keys

Tryna figure out what doors that they might open

Who knows? Only time will tell

Sometimes I think I need to find a girl

But I can't even find myself

'Cause everybody needs a queen or a sugar that's just there for them

Someone that actually cares for them

I need me a classy one

I want one that sees me with a fat stack of cash

And she don't even ask for none

'Cause she got her own bread

And when we're both running to the money

We can pattern up with no stress

She hate it that I'm popular

And at night time she wakes up pissed

'Cause the ringing on my Nokia

But that's what happens when you really paid

Central for the dinner dates

His and hers with them foreign cars

I ain't always there

'Cause when the money comes, I go

So baby stay down

When I'm not around

And I swear I care

So make sure you play your role

And baby stay down

When I'm not around

'Cause maybe I'm just fucked up

Bad you I know

We seem to see eye to eye when we blow

O's in the air with our smoke

And it's just me and you

And there's no one else up in our zone

I ain't always there

'Cause when the money comes, I go

So baby stay down

When I'm not around

She want me to love her, leave the game

But to tell you the truth

If I went broke, I know things wouldn't be the same

And I know you know yourself

There's no more sweet little dates

No more 200 G's on a stake

As we leave it, though, God willing

It's hard to picture me a day

I ain't got a Pyrex bowl and the pot whipping

There's only so long you can dodge prison

That's why you gotta stay

Who gon' pattern up if I get locked away?

Who gon' clear the flat before the feds come by?

And keep the phones on to make sure these pebs gon' fly

You don't respect that life

I know you don't, I don't expect you to

But if raps fail, that's the only way to get me food

Wanna live that sweet couple life

Sleeping in my arms, but you can't

'Cause this phone's got me up at night

Plus the compliments on your hair

But I wouldn't know 'cause I ain't always there

I ain't always there

'Cause when the money comes, I go

So baby stay down

When I'm not around

And I swear I care

So make sure you play your role

And baby stay down

When I'm not around

'Cause maybe I'm just fucked up

Bad you I know

We seem to see eye to eye when we blow

O's in the air with our smoke

And it's just me and you

And there's no one else up in our zone

I ain't always there

'Cause when the money comes, I go

So baby stay down

When I'm not around

Baby

Stay down

Stay down

I ain't always there

But I swear I care

I ain't always there

But I swear I care

I ain't always there

And I'm fucked up

Like you I know

I ain't always there

But I swear I care
