Stay

(*"oh" and "no" repeated behind Chorus*)

[Hook - Marsha Ambrosius]

I've got some things to say, oh (please don't go)

So don't you turn away, oh (please don't go)

I need you here to stay, I (miss you so)

[Verse 1 - Fabolous]

My daddy left me and he ain't even die

So when he did go, I ain't even cry

I had reason but that ain't even why

How could he have failed, if he ain't even try?

I ask no questions, I ain't even pry

Truthfully I wanted to, I can't even lie

Like a canceled flight, that ain't even fly

To just walk away, like you ain't even my

Like, like, like, I ain't even your

I can't even say it, I ain't even sure

He should of gave me everything and left me even more

But he left me without saying what he was leavin for

And that's when I became a man (became a man)

And that's the day he stopped bein one (bein one)

This year I became a father (father)

And I'm a die bein one, what's up son?

[Hook]

[Verse 2 - Fabolous]

I have nightmares of me not bein around

He took his first steps and daddy couldn't be in town (shit)

Daddy's entertaining everybody (yeah)

But missed out when it came to trainin for the potty

I give a fuck about hip-hop's new beef

I was more excited when my son grew teeth

So I seem the problem of the fame and stardom

Just like Em and Hailie, just like Game and Harlem

Weezy's at the Awards with Ms. Carter

Nah not his date, I'm talkin about his daughter (his daughter)

Now that's +Stuntin' Like Your Daddy+

Cause it's crazy when you wanna be nothin like your daddy

And if you've never been a man (been a man)

That's the day you start bein one (start bein one)

This year I became a father (father)

And I'm a die bein one, what's up son?

[Hook]

[Break - Marsha Ambrosius - singing]

So hear the truth remain to, let me go

I won't hold that against ya, I moved on

Just look what I've become since you've been gone

Now don't you turn away, oh, please don't go

Here's what I got to say, oh, please don't go

Oh why'd you go away, oh, please don't go

I needed you here to stay, oh, please don't go

I can't believe this pain, no, please don't go

[Hook]

[Outro - Marsha Ambrosius - singing]

Why did you leave me?

Tell me why you don't care

Daddy, tell me why did you leave me?

Why you don't care

Tell me why did you leave me?

Daddy, tell me why you weren't there

Why did you leave me?
