Letra de 'Stay' de Little Simz

Shit coulda been so different, I tell you
Shit coulda been so different, I tell you

What if I've never went Highbury fields?
And didn't meet Jade (Jade)
Shannon and Jasmin didn't meet space (space)
Staring out the window with a deep gaze (gaze)
Hide and protect your man these days (days)
Oh, Lord
What if I never went EC1 and didn't meet Josh? (Josh)
And I never asked what he's on (on)
Coulda been a friendship we lost, like (lost)
What if I never met Isaac? (Isaac)
That shit needed a moment of silence
You should now close your eyelids (eyelids)
Reflect on time that we spent
Then look around with your iris
See the weather adapt to your climate
Create a world that only you vibe with
Decide your fate to say that you've tried it
This is time, we should all read between the lines
Edge is here, and now the scene's quiet
Still thinking like
What if my mother never raised me? (Raised me)
And I was in foster care
Like all the kids that came to our house to stay (Stay)
Shit
Shoulda never got close to them
Because when they leave, it's like my heart goes to them
Coulda been blood-related
Sometimes in life, you don't see shit changing
Real talk (real talk)

You can try and fight
Tell me where your running to
Don't ever try deny it
I've been tryin' to figure it out
Let me be your lion
We cross paths with those meant to be in our lives
So, please don't ever leave me
Please, don't ever leave me
Please, don't ever leave me
Don't ever leave me, no
Please, don't ever leave me, no
Please, don't ever leave me

What if Eddie never posted X-Y-Z (zed)
You wouldn't of been working
Now we in a place where it's hard to get to (get to)
Everything happens for a reason
It's never been clear, more than now (now)
I'm tryin' to connect dots, show me how (how)
Text the Universe to hold me down (down)
Get familiar, better know these sounds (sounds)
Looking to find the free sea (free sea)
Sitting aside, a big roof full of love
You visualize to see me (see me)
Trying to provide for my family, right
The same mentality up in these streets (these streets)
What if Tilla never smoked weed? (Smoked weed)
What if Chucks weren't a shine to me?
I would never dance together when we was 14
Shit coulda been so different now, I tell you (I tell you)
Shit coulda been so different now, I tell you (I tell you)
What if our plans had fell through? (Fell through)
Down the road that might lead to greatness, I go (I go)
How on Earth can I leave the space if I'm home? (I'm home)
Space

You can try and fight it
Tell me where you're running to
Don't ever try deny it
I've been tryin' to figure it out
Let me be your lion
We cross paths with those meant to be in our lives
So, please don't ever leave me
Please, don't ever leave me
Please, don't ever leave me
Don't ever leave me, no
Please, don't ever leave me, no
Please, don't ever leave me
Please, don't ever leave me
Don't ever leave me, leave me
Don't ever leave me, leave me
Don't ever leave me, no
No, don't you ever leave me
Don't ever leave me, no, no
