Let's Stay Together
Run DMC ft. Jagged Edge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo, yeah, DMC man
In the place to be
Yo, this song is dedicated to (word)
(whether good days, happy or sad)
To all of those that's been down with each other since day one
Aha, let's keep it together
Now we've been all around the world
From the corner of the block to the top of the world and back
We're the royalty on the ave, ain't nobody ever have
And the brand new jet black Cadillac
We've been down since day one
And no matter where I go people want to see him next to me
They say "what's up with d?" I used to jam all across the land
The coliseum, even message, when raising hell were cassettes
In the shelves, and the plush hotel after every show
We were just kissing the mic, living the life
Of MTV and the radio
And so you jay and me said "it's 83'"
We're living and sticking together like a family
And no matter what, the rule must be
That it's guaranteed that I'm for you, and you for me
So
[Chorus]
Let's stay together let's stay together
Loving you whether, love is good and bad
And happy or sad
Yo, my love of the mic, can't touch my love for my wife
Baby I ain't going nowhere, specially the way you smile
When you have my child, or when I rock the crowd
Can't wait to be right there
Even my kids that ain't yours is still yours
Cause you love him and treat him like your very own
We be holding hands and I be holding doors
And when my mother in-law spend time alone
Call her about five hundred times a day
When I'm often gone cause I'm on the road
And when I'm on the phone, you know I want to be home
Cause that's the one and only spot where I really belong
You know our love, called you the preachers' wife
But the keys to bed lead living it up
And everybody would know, them seen us in the video
On the dance floor straight cutting it up
I love you baby
[Chorus]
To me, you mean the world
No matter what it is you say or do
I always I will be there for you
So no, no matter what, let's stay together
In the good life, happy or sad
You mean the world, no matter what is it you say or do
I always will be there for you
So no, no matter what, let's stay together
In the good life, happy or sad
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, love is good or bad, and or happy or sad
Ain't no beats to lead somebody you love
Best thing in life, is to have somebody ya heard
So keep it together
Good days, happy or sad
The song "Let's Stay Together" by Run DMC ft. Jagged Edge is about staying committed to a loved one through thick and thin. The lyrics pay tribute to the bond between two people who have been together since the beginning of their journey, and how they have stayed dedicated to one another throughout their success and failures. Run DMC talks about their rise to fame, and how no matter where they go, people always want to see them with their partners. They mention the sacrifices they have made to keep their relationships strong while on the road, and how their loved ones have supported them every step of the way.
The song has a positive and uplifting message about the importance of staying loyal and committed to those who mean the most to us. It speaks to the idea that true love lasts through good times and bad, and that the bonds we forge with those we love can withstand any obstacle.
Interestingly, the song references the classic soul track "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green in its title and chorus, but the lyrics themselves have little to do with the original song's subject matter. Instead, Run DMC offers their own take on the phrase, using it as a call to action for couples to remain devoted to each other.
