So Far To Go
Phora
Yeah Well Nas got me on some shit On this one right here man (this one right here man) Yours truly Yeah Yeah, these are confessions of a sinner I packed my bags and left a letter 'cause my temper seems To get to me sometimes, I get sick of me sometimes This pressure from myself is my biggest enemy sometimes But I hated myself 'cause of you, but now I'm done with that That's why I'm hoppin' on this train and 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 Yeah, I just can't stay (Stay) said I just can't stay So will I keep running away? Keep running away Keep runnin', 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 'Cause I, I got to move on with my life and we all got a choice And 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 passion 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 just must have cut off Like an unpaid pillar of rising over the hills and horizons 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 (Stay) Yeah, I just can't stay Yeah, I just can't stay (Stay) Said I just can't stay So will I keep running away? Keep running away, yeah Keep runnin', keep runnin' (Stay) runnin', uh 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 niggas walk all over you They don't treat your name with respect, and they talk right over you Kills me everytime I hear it, slowly losing my spirit They sabotaging your beauty, they desecrate your appearance 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 motherfuckers talk about you They say you just care for the money and jewels 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) Ooh (Stay) Ooh (Stay) And it's over, at this point of it I've seen so many on appearance who really love it Turn to struggling artists because they're not benefitting, whereas Dudes that ain't got no talent is benefittin', you know what I'm sayin'? So, it's just definitely a period where It's been dead, I'm just bold enough to say it (Bold enough to say it) (Stay)
