[Spoken:] |
|
Yeah |
|
Well |
|
Nas got me on some sh*t on this one right here man |
|
Yours Truly |
|
Yeah |
|
Yeah |
|
These are confessions of a sinner |
|
I picked a bag and left a letter cus my temper seems |
|
to get to me some times |
|
I get sick of me sometimes |
|
Pressure from myself is my biggest enemy sometimes |
|
But, I hated myself cus of you |
|
But now I'm done with that |
|
That's why I'm hopin' on this train & never comin' back |
|
And I refuse to let anyone in my way |
|
I ain't tryna leave you behind, |
|
But I just can't stay |
|
Yeah I just can't stay |
|
[x2] |
|
I just can't stay, |
|
So will I keep running away |
|
Keep running away (keep runnin') |
|
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 |
|
Cus I, I gotta move on with my life |
|
And we all got a chose |
|
We all can speak, but not all of us got a voice |
|
So I devote mine to the children of today |
|
But how I'm suppose to move on, when you keep begging me to stay |
|
Well we must of lost a passion |
|
See my mother used to love you |
|
Ion what happened |
|
Probably cus you changed |
|
And she don't like the way the come off for |
|
I guess the connection just must of cut off |
|
Like an unpaid bill to Version |
|
Over the hills, horizon |
|
The sun is settin' I could feel it inside me |
|
That I ain't got nowhere else to go |
|
But I keep on pu*******n' |
|
Don't want to leave |
|
But I ain't felt this low |
|
So I can't (stay) |
|
Yeah I just can't stay |
|
[x3] |
|
So will I keep runnin' away (keep runnin' away) |
|
Yeah |
|
See I missed the way we used to be |
|
I miss the way you touched my heart |
|
Used to be true to me, but |
|
Now you let these ******* walk all over you |
|
They don't treat your name with respect |
|
And they talk right over you |
|
Kills me every time I hear it |
|
Slowly losing my spirit, they sabotaging your beauty, they desecrate your appearance |
|
And. They say I'm scared that's why I'm runnin away |
|
I guess they right, |
|
Cus we all know what just might happen to me if I (stay) |
|
I wanna leave but I'm lost without you |
|
And I can't stand the way these mothet******s talk about you |
|
They say you just care for the |
|
Money and jewels, the cars, the clothes, the fame, |
|
& the popular dudes, glamorization the money, & livin' 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! |
