Stay
J. Cole | MonsterMixtapes.net Lyrics

It’s been 400 years of our oppression
We have been consistently oppressed for 400 years.

You ain’t even gotta guess it
It's not hard to see the oppression.

How these racist white folks tryna get us to choke
White racists are trying to stifle our progress.

On something that really try to set us free in spirit, take note
We are trying to break free spiritually.

And I ain’t wanna hear no ignorant shit
Ignorant comments will not be tolerated.

Y’all ancestors forced our babies in alligators
Your ancestors put our babies in harm's way.

How we pose to deal with that shit
How can we cope with this trauma?

Y’all best man Donald Trump done came to a flump
Donald Trump is not a good leader.

With his hateful white ass, he full of trash
He is hateful and disgusting.

All the fucked up words that he spoke
He has said many terrible things.

But God wrote
God will lead us through this difficult time.

Stay sacred
We must remain pure in spirit.

Please stay sacred
We must remain pure in spirit.

I’m only 19, but I have a lot of enemies
Despite being young, I have many people who dislike me.

People think that I’m stupid
Some people underestimate me.

Treat me like bullshit
Some people treat me poorly.

Hold up, not on me
I won't take responsibility for others' actions towards me.

I’m just chilling
I'm just relaxing and taking things easy.

Not really with that killing
I am not interested in violence.

Why can’t we love each other
Why can't we show more love towards one another?

Unite as one, no ending
We should come together as one and continue to do so.

What’s a world without hating
What would the world be like without hatred?

More loving, more less faking
We need to show more love and be genuine.

Anyway to surviving
We must find a way to survive.

This one for all the races
This message is for everyone of every race.

Cause we need to give praise and
We need to show appreciation and gratitude.

To the (K)ing, the One who made it
We must thank God for everything he has done for us.

Praising Him cause He’s great
We should praise God because he is great.

We, gotta keep on growing
We must continue to improve and grow.

Manifesting
We must believe in and manifest our dreams.

We gotta stay blessed
We must remain grateful and blessed.

And He will do the rest
God will take care of everything else.

Put our faith to the test
We must trust in God and test our faith.

Be positive no stress
We must focus on positivity and avoid stress.

But this life is so hard
This life can be incredibly difficult.

It’s so unfair to anyone
Life can be unfair to anyone and everyone.

Who wants to live out their dream
Those who want to achieve their goals.

Through all these bad energies
Despite all the negative energy around us.

Stay sacred
We must remain pure in spirit.

Please stay sacred
We must remain pure in spirit.

Stay sacred
We must remain pure in spirit.

Please stay sacred
We must remain pure in spirit.

Stay sacred
We must remain pure in spirit.

Please stay sacred
We must remain pure in spirit.

Stay sacred
We must remain pure in spirit.

Please stay sacred
We must remain pure in spirit.
