[Intro]
Yeah, well...
Nas got me on some sh** on this one right here man...
Yours Truly
[Verse 1]
These are confessions of a sinner
I packed my bag and left a letter
Cause my temper seems to get to me sometimes
I get sick of me sometimes
It's pressure from myself is my biggest enemy sometimes
But I hated myself cause of you but I'm done with that
That's why I'm hopping on this train and never coming back
And I refuse to let anyone in my way
I ain't trying to leave you behind but I just can't stay
[Hook]
Yeah I just can't stay (Stay)
Said I just can't stay
So will I keep running away?
Keep running away
Keep running, Keep running...
[Verse 2]
I hope you get to read my letter, I signed it Sincerely Yours
You've been hurt too many times I see them tears of yours
Running down your face like Yosemite falls
But if you ever need something just don't get me involved
Cause I, I got to move on with my life and we all got a choice
We all can speak but not all of us got a voice
So I devote mine to the children of today
But how am I supposed to move on when you keep begging me to stay
Well we must have lost the pa**ion
See my mother used to love you I don't know what happened
Probably cause you changed and she don't like the way you come off for
I guess the connection must have cut off
Like an unpaid build of orison over the hill and horizon
The sun is setting I can feel it inside me that I ain't got no where else to go
But I keep on pushing don't want to leave but I ain't felt this low so I can't stay
[Hook]
Yeah I just can't stay (Stay)
Said I just can't stay
So will I keep running away?
Keep running away
Keep running, Keep running...
[Verse 3]
See I missed the way we used to be
I missed the way you touched my heart used to be true to me
But now you let these n***as walk all over you
They don't treat your name with respect and they talk right over you
k**s me everytime I hear it
Slowly losing my spirit
They sabotaging your beauty they descerate your appearance
And they say I'm scared that's what I'm running away
I guess they right cause we all know what just might happen to me if I stay
I want to leave but I'm lost without you
And I can't stand the way these motherf**ers talk about you
They say you just care for the money and j**els
The cars, the clothes, the fame and the popular dudes
Glamorization the money and living in glory
It just seems like you forgot about the kids with a story
But without you I wouldn't survive one more day
You saved my life dear Hip Hop I'll never leave I'm here to stay
