Stay With Us
St. Olaf Orchestra And Choirs Lyrics

Peace to my late nigga Henny I love him and miss him
I offer my condolences to my deceased friend Henny and express my love and longing for him

And days when we grew up as children
I reminisce about our childhood together

Where I was a regular civilian and chasing on woman
I recall a time in my life when I was just a regular person and focusing on dating women

Days with your sister, just kidding
I remember joking around with your sister on some of those days

Days with the niggas and my nigga Mac brought the women
I fondly recall hanging out with the guys, and how our friend Mac always managed to bring women around

Days when I thought you was tripping
I reflect on a time when I thought you were acting strange

Cause my girlfriend said you was with it but I don't put nothing past women
I had doubts because my girlfriend claimed you were up to something, but I know not to trust everything women say

Babe got a place in the city
You told me your significant other has a home in the city

I said I'd come then you hit me
You reached out to me after I promised to visit you in the city

Your momma died and you hit me
You contacted me after your mother passed away

I told her nothing and I put on my jacket an ain't tell my boss that I'm dipping
I didn't tell my girlfriend anything and left work without notifying my boss to come be with you during this difficult time

I'm at your yard giving hugs
I'm at your house embracing you

Surrounded by people you love
You're with people who love you

Funeral in the same month
We're attending another funeral this month

I quit the raps after months then I dropped a track after months
I stopped making music for a period of time until finally releasing a new song months later

Then I saw you pass in a month and it's fucking me up
Shortly after releasing my new song, I learned of your passing, which is affecting me greatly

To think that I gave up on love
I can't believe I had given up on love

Peace to my late homie Khanya
I offer my condolences to my deceased friend Khanya

I never told you I love ya
I regret never expressing my love to you before you passed away

I thought I showed you in every little reminder
I believed that every small gesture I did was enough to show my love and care for you

I'd always say I'm behind ya
I frequently told you that I supported and had your back

Glad that went out the country and seen things I kind of
I'm happy that you traveled abroad and experienced new things

Wish I could seen whatever
I wish I could have been there to see and experience all of it with you

You came back glowing an better
You returned looking and feeling great

I snuck in your school not to text ya
I secretly visited your school just to see you and not necessarily to send you a text message

Surprise baby homies forever
We were like family and would always be there for each other, no matter what

We watched that play out in Jozi
We witnessed that scenario unfold in Johannesburg

We talking shit bout the acting an clowning on homies
We were gossiping and teasing our friends, making fun of them

You roll a J then it's smoking
You rolled a joint and we smoked it together

And that one Christmas when my family left for a while
I remember the Christmas when my family went away for a bit

You hit up Lu said you down
You contacted our friend Lu and told him you were available

My nigga Lisa just passed and I'm stuck in the house
I had just lost my friend Lisa and couldn't leave my home

Now we in the park an I'm out
Now we're in the park hanging out and enjoying each other's company

And the last time we spoke you was down
The last time we talked, you were feeling down

And you threw me my jacket and said I can have it back now
You returned my jacket to me and told me it was mine to keep

Now you always around in them clouds
Now you're always with us in spirit, appearing in the clouds
