I hope to come back here 5 years later with a different tune - Hello My Name is Brandon from South Africa and I'm here to MAKE IT!!!!

Even when I first heard Cole around the Warm Up era , he reminded me so much of Nas, and this song shows how much he is like Nas. This generation needs Cole like the 90s needed Nas....God i love HipHop man. I wish older people listened to HipHop like this before judging it.

“I had you but you can’t have me I never stay” I know so many people with this attitude and mindset because they’re afraid of commitment, or they were never taught how . I honestly hurt for them. They’ll never know what it feels to truly give themselves to somebody. This was me for a very long time.

"Stay (2009)" [Verse 1] You can drop a “Wet Floor” sign down for the tears God and my court date, the two things I fear Man, they tryna give a nigga years I’m tryna figure if I should even appear, or Should I escape town? Catch a Greyhound Change my name, right - catch a plane flight Out the country, let them ma’fuckas hunt me Come and catch me if you want me Know they’ll lock me if I stay But… where I’mma run to? I got a good girl, we got a son too And all we went through, we ain’t see eye-to-eye But what you told me way back, you was a ride-or-die So if they give me one, or give me two Or if a nigga gotta sit down and do a few Before I go, baby, I gotta know, what would you do? Would you find someone new or would you stay? Like the hoes when they lay with me? Puppy eyes when I go, sayin’ “stay with me” Aw, girl, you bad as Hell And yet I’d love to - But see I got a girl I’m really makin’ love to Therefore I’m feelin’ a lot more guilty when I rub you That’s why I skip all of that kissin’ when I fuck you Flush the condom down the toilet then I skate I had you, but you can’t have me, I never stay [Hook] Stay… [Verse 2] Ha! Life in a hometown, ‘fore I could take a step I’m gettin’ grown now And startin’ to notice that I see the same hoes 'round Guess they had to go ‘round, my raps is profound I got the flows but yet a nigga ain’t got no sound Copped a beat machine, I’m cookin’ up my own now Got my mind on the city where it goes down See, if I’mma get to where I’m goin’ then I can’t stay Although I love it here I’ll be damned if I sit around another year Dreamin’ dreams, hopin’ somehow that they just appear The hardest part of leavin’ is to know my mother’s here Oh, but I’m comin’ back - oh boy, believe that Let’s show the lil’ niggas, boy, you can achieve that Got the city on my shoulders, piggy back Hello, my name is Cole and I’m here to stay

When I originally dowloaded Truly Yours this song had (2009) along with the title. I wonder if that’s because he wrote it in that year, just a thought. It sounds like that type of time in his life given the content, though obviously it’s more of a story than a personal account.
