Won't You Stay

[Talib Kweli]

Yeah ... this is the best part of the trip

Hold on to something, hold on to something

We about to take the road less travelled

You ain't gotta go home, but you can't stay here

Let's go

[Kendra Ross] (Talib Kweli)

I get lonelier each time

You go away I lose my mind

I lay awake til you come and make things right (yeah yeah)

I get lonelier each time you go away (cmon)

So baby won't you stay with me tonight? (yeah)

[Talib Kweli]

Check it out

There's this lady I'm in love with (yes there is)

Living inside this woman unknown

But she's scared to let it show

I know it sound like some bug shit (yeah it do)

It's just she come with

Hang-ups and

Insecurities they gotta go

She always nervous around me

But see this lady inside

She's ready to be my baby tonight

And ever since this lady found me

This woman think I'm dangerous

And ain't ready to put her safety aside

I try to tell her that I got her back

And no matter where we at

In our lives

I'll treat her like she my girl

I asked her "What's wrong with dat?" (What's wrong

with dat?)

She like "It just ain't right

There's so many more women and men in the world"

I have to admit the girl got a point (true)

Maybe my ambition's made to make me want something I just can't

have

So now it's time for me to blow this joint

I still know I'm in love

I just stay focused

And true to my path

Word

[Kendra Ross] (Talib Kweli)

I get lonelier each time

You go away I lose my mind

I lay awake til you come and make things right (yeah yeah)

I get lonelier each time you go away (uhh)

So baby won't you stay with me tonight? (yeah yeah)

[Talib Kweli]

I got to get away

Ladies you ever felt growing away

By your man

Asking "Baby, won't you stay?"

He chilling with his crew

He should be building with you

He got you feeling the blues

Cause the children to glue

He willing to do

Whatever it takes

To save 'em

From a fate he can't see when he misbehaving

Brave men don't let they ladies

Raise they children theyself

You're so busy trying to save 'em

That you you're killing yourself

With the

Stress and strife

And the fights and the advice

From the ladies of the night

Who can't run they own life

Up in your air

Nothing is fair

Why do you care?

Why do you always take it there?

The crying, the tears

You ain't prepared for the jewels

That I'm trying to share

Flying there

Dying inside

Hot in the fear

The writing is clear

On the wall

For you to read the sign

Ayo the fine is the way we design

To be fine

But still ...

[Kendra Ross]

I get lonelier each time (I get so lonely)

You go away I lose my mind

I lay awake til you come and make things right

(mmmmmmm .. make it right, make it right, make it right)

I get lonelier each time you go away (la la la la la la la

laaaa)

So baby won't you stay with me tonight?

[Talib Kweli]

Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go

Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go

Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go

Gotta, Gotta

Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go

Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go

Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go

Gotta, Gotta

Yo

You can tell when people wanna spend they life together

Despite the weather

They treat each other like a treasure

Can't fight forever

You got to give it up

I ain't got a lot of time

We got to live it up

I make my music like I make my love

People use it like they take they drugs

In the morning

When they waking up

This music got me out late but

I holla at you when I'm done

Don't stay up

Will love play with us?

It sting like paper cuts

Doused in alcohol

But if it's real

They ain't no greater rush

I got faith in us

It's only you who really know me

I be surrounded by people

And still feel lonely

[Kendra Ross]

So baby won't you stay (why won't you stay?)

Baby won't you stay? (why won't you stay?)

Baby won't you stay with me tonight? (ohhhhh)

Stay with me tonight

Stay with me tonight

Ohhhhh
