Lyrics:

You don′t have to worry, to find somebody new

Just take a good look and you'll find the thuth (right)

I′m telling you the secret, the one that you should know

Just live your life to the max, and work it slow

Stay

Oh Yeah

Aha, aha

Who you wanna see?

2-4 Family

Stay, don't runaway, please lord just one more day

Stay, don't be walking away

Jay Dogg:

C′mon!

Remember way back in the days, when you was lokin′ with the playas′

Connecting mad chips, colobarating about the capers

No love for the haters and the players of the game

Suspicious inpotane so you can't maintain

No balance of reality from sane to insanity

The traffic jigo size, is what took insanity

But you made a simple boat down to Cally

Lugin′ in the ripps, smoke chips like hally

Anyhting you want, all you have to do is ask

Gets the final person to us, to a situation statice, but

You're not sencere, what could be your future?

Live you life eveal from the highest evil

X 2

Don't be walking away

I don′t wanna leave, but still I can't stay, The same old problems day after day

Face to face, place to place, 2-4 Family

Looking find somebody calling my phone

If ain't my home, don′t wanna talk, leave me alone (aha, aha)

Should I live, should I stay? So many questions got me confused

Lord I′m confessin', I′m stressin', the physics of love are gone

To a happy home, they got me throwing shots on the dome

It′s on, but them about my mind, yo, a treasure

My family left so now I'm stuck with drastic measures

You say you love me but the feeling′s gone away

This relationchip's a lie, can't stay

X 2

Face to face, place to place, one more day, all you gotta do is stay

Songwriter: Jackson

Why you actin like you run outta time, goind down now that′s a lie

Talking bout you gotta fly, everythime I come around, Brotha how you sound

Take a chewes down, frontin like you new of this, nowin that you trigga with

I rafuse to get my heart tore, playin like a hard core, now you wanna go to war

But before, you was lovin it, talking that love shit, won′t play the dum shit, forget it

Essie: (available only in the "perfect tools remix")

And if it split it, that's indeed "m gonna miss it, but pressure by a dollar-push up

I won′t kiss it, won't you spit on me, only lies on your lips, from the lies that you keep

Bigger fish in a dish, you won′t be missed

Lil'Bit: (available only in the? special radio version?)

Deep lo, that′s how this chic rolls, try to blew my out to smoke, brother what you fontin for? (Can you find me?)

You wanna go, ain't go beg you to stay

Got no time for the games you brothas play, you can se a smile up on your face

Now there's only empty space, what I call a happy home, is not a bigger place

Can you rase the past, I repaid the last we used to have

Once I′s camin′ first, now I'm coming last

All we need to do is stay, All we need to do is pray, oh yeah

Just Stay And Pray!

Stay, all we need to do is stay, all we need to do is pray, oh yeah

C′mon

Stay, don't runaway, please lord just one more day

Stay, don′t be walking away (don't be walkin away)

Stay, don′t runaway, please lord just one more day

Stay, don't be walking away (but still I can't stay)

Stay, don′t runaway, please lord just one more day

Stay, don′t be walking away, Stay!
