Stay By My Side Lyrics

OG put me in like what you in it for

I wanna change the world and do some things that no one did before

See I was in the kitchen beating pans since I was three or four

See these are things that no one even know

Like at Nino's I was hoopin' with my kin, either shirts or skins

The culture saw potential but decided not to put me in

See I was hurt, I even thought one day to seek revenge

I guess my loss was just the cost of win

And shawty called me like I'm always down either thick or thin

I ain't listenin' to her now and I ain't listenin

Moisturize my hair with rose water mixed with glycerin

You cannot touch it, I don't know where your hands have been

At granny house, smell like love mixed with collard greens

The get-togethers in your yard was the sight to see

The truth is I really miss you down here

Get your rest, don't come and visit down here

They got trenches down here

Barbecues up at Bell goin' down the slide

Remember feedin' granny, told her open wide

To my fallen angels who are floatin' in the sky, stay by my side

Told her we can win if I really try

I was overseas when I heard you died

To my fallen angels who are floatin' in the sky, stay by my side

And as my walkin' just continues

I went from doin' layups to layin' back at these venues

I went from blockin' shots to be blockin' out all my issues

It's crazy what your childhood dreams still could get you

Now tell me what you see when you stand inside my eyes

Now isn't my excellence or me colorin' out the lines

Been livin' on desperate measures while balancin' imperfections

I wonder if my anger could cancel out my depression

I'm never gonna say that my problem's bigger than yours

My closet is full of tears and now it's leakin' through floors

Bringin' sand to the beach for reasons of bein' sure

That all I have is my word, it's leakin' throughout my pores

Take a look at my life for reasons to be astounded

The seed that's in my roots is the cause of me bein' grounded

My path to find my destiny, I had to go reroute it

It took me out my city for a while, but then I found it

Barbecues up at Bell goin' down the slide

Remember feedin' granny, told her open wide

To my fallen angels who are floatin' in the sky, stay by my side

Told her we can win if I really try

I was overseas when I heard you died

To my fallen angels who are floatin' in the sky, stay by my side
