Stay
by The Washington Projects

Album: Light Up the Dark

Verse 1
And them lights kept flashin, and them people kept askin, how you make it this far, a
rose in the concrete reaching for the stars? How he defy the odds, the story of his life
through these 16 bars, but little Johnnies at home, wonder where his daddy went,
wonder where he roams. Cause a man aint a man if he choose to not be there to hold
his sons hand. Got his first A plus then he caught a beat down in the back of the bus, as
if growin up aint enough, you just showin up aint enough. Yeah, what happened to the
vows? Howʼs he supposed to grow up when you keep growin down,

Chorus
Please daddy stay, Iʼll help make it better just give me one day. Mom and you can make
things right. Please donʼt go away tonight.

Verse2
And them lights kept flashin, and them people kept askin, how you make it this far? A
gem in a rock, mustʼve fallen from the stars. How she defy the odds, the story of her life
through these 16 bars, but little susies at home, wonder where her mommy went,
wonder where she roams. Cause a woman aint a woman when she walks out and she
canʼt see what she;s doin. Susie got her first A plus then she got teased cause they said
she knew too much, as if growin up aint enough, you just showin up aint enough. Man,
what happened to the vows? Howʼs she supposed to grow up when you keep growin
down,

Chorus
Please mommy stay, Iʼll help make it better just give me one day. You and dad can
make things right. Please donʼt go away tonight.

Bridge
You say itʼs not my fault, you say our loves not lost, so why just walk away, tell me why
canʼt you stay? Please tell me if I did something wrong to break apart our happy home? I
know that I can change, I swear Iʼll change just please donʼt go wont you stay.

Chorus
Please daddy stay, Iʼll help make it better just give me one day. Mom and you can make
things right. Please donʼt go away tonight.
Please mommy stay, Iʼll help make it better just give me one day. You and dad can
make things right. Please donʼt go away tonight.
Donʼt walk away, donʼt walk away, please donʼt leave me here alone, you know I need
you both so please stay, please stay, please stay…
