N.O.R.E. - Stay Up lyrics
rate me[Feat. Juvenile]
I’m in (I’m in)
Fast life, fast cars (fast life, fast cars)
Yeah, I take a … this shit that help me dream,
I take my pain away, I pray today by all means.
I ask God for forgiveness,
I tell him that I owe him,
When I see you on the streets, seeing love..
Tell my niggers stay up!
When I’m seeing you on the corners chasing marijuana
And I hear you messing with…
(Tell my nigger stay up!)
And when I see you overseas from Japan, UK, to Belize,
(Tell my nigger stay up!)
And you believe in God, ..or you end a good relationship.
Oh yow, I told Shawty stay up,
And that’s easy like a…
Are we supposed to focus this hocus pocus,
I’m that ferocious... I owe you hopeless.
See the… built for no…
And you can’t be a warrior on weekends.
You ain’t built for it, if you nigger ain’t ready to spell for it,
You can get killed for it, ask about the stories,
Cause it’s in the hood,
And ask about the jail time, it ain’t good.
Chorus:
Yeah, I take a … hope this shit that help me dream,
I take my pain away, I pray today by all means.
I ask God for forgiveness,
I tell him that I owe him,
When I see you on the streets, seeing love..
Tell my niggers stay up!
When I’m seeing you on the corners chasing marijuana
And I hear you messing with…
(Tell my nigger stay up!)
And when I see you overseas from Japan, UK, to Belize,
(Tell my nigger stay up!)
And you believe in God, ..or you end a good relationship.
Who am I to criticize another nigger?
I ain’t perfect!
Willing to put my life on the line, if I feel it’s worth it.
I wanna keep the ... when you owe me, getting…
If you ain’t keeping it well it means you won’t serving your purpose
…but still I’m thinking further,
Tired of fighting my consciousness,
It’s time that we make a merging,
I’m a sinner and I still remember to pray every night,
Keep my guard up and my eyes up, and .. the fight!
..even when they ain’t breathing it back,
Pull all that bullshit aside, cause ain’t no reason for that!
Chorus:
Yeah, I take a… hope this hit will help me dream,
I take my pain away, I pray today by all means.
I ask God for forgiveness,
I tell him that I owe him,
When I see you on the streets, seeing love..
Tell my niggers stay up!
When I’m seeing you on the corners chasing marijuana
And I hear you messing with…
(Tell my nigger stay up!)
And when I see you overseas from Japan, UK, to Belize,
(Tell my nigger stay up!)
And you believe in God, ..or you end a good relationship.
..and I’m on human hunters,
Monkey walks out, ..vision clear.
..seen your wifey.
You see, you need to grow up a little bit,
Pull up you pants, and grow up a bit!
Stop acting like a hit, kid!
Cool off your… get you shit…
And I hope you stay straight up like these jeans,
I wish you the best, fulfill your dreams!
Chorus:
Yeah, I take a… hope this hit will help me dream,
I take my pain away, I pray today by all means.
I ask God for forgiveness,
I tell him that I owe him,
When I see you on the streets, seeing love..
Tell my niggers stay up!
When I’m seeing you on the corners chasing marijuana
And I hear you messing with…
(Tell my nigger stay up!)
And when I see you overseas from Japan, UK, to Belize,
(Tell my nigger stay up!)
And you believe in God, or you’re envious
..or you end a good relationship.
You know what I learned you all?
I learned that always wishing good on people
You understand what I’m saying?
That’s why every time when I see people I …
You all stay up!
Cause sometimes you see a person two three years from now
That person be on its way out of life
Be dead, be twenty two pounds.
Last time you see him he was two thirty, two eighty five.
And now he’s twenty two pounds.
You understand what I’m saying?
Next time when you see somebody
He might be five, six hundred down.
It’s just crazy, man,
You never know what’s going to happen in life
So just every time you see me miss, tell me stay up!
And I’mma do the same thing, nigger!
