I did tear up hearing this. You know. Hip hop to me isn’t the same and having my favorite artist delivery this and what it felt like running through me. Priceless.
This is just so incredible. I'm trying to figure out why it's stuck in my head and how it resonates with me presently because I can't get it out my head. As I sing "Stay" each time differently it's almost like I'm singing to stay in each moment. I'm drawn to stay present and loose this grib and control I want for everything. I want to stay grounded and peaceful and stay alive in all aspects of myself.
This is a dope beat so mellow definetly to verbally release words of uplifting peaceful light to shine to others. I heard this beat fell in love with it instantly❤❤🙌🏿🕊✨️
Its all good. This joint is just so soulfully mellow. I literally am responsibe for about 400 of the 46K views. No I.D. really got it in with this one. Music is suppose to bring people together like this. Regardless who brought you here. God Bless Your Life. Live and let live!
This is one of the few songs on this record that give off an emotional feel to it. Based upon the trumpet. (If I am correct.) Either way, this beat gives off the feeling of sadness when ya shortie leave you based on wrong reasons. Good shit Nas...good shit.
I swear this beat takes me to memories of living in philly...the train rides on the EL to BSL...people watching in center city...long walks from allegheny to erie ave...just chilling on the stoop just zoning...good times

I thank god for music, when I think im bout to lose it. the rythm keeps me blinded got me unwind-ed, feeling like im in a cell in jail im confined to it, no need to lie an shit, im on my lion shit, king of this concrete jungle im on a hustle, runnin to the money gotta escape the struggle,checked the cards that i was dealt & asked the dealer did you shuffle? try to stay outta trouble but it just follows me constantly thinkin about all the ppl i owe an apology some I'll never get the chance to see
You the baby girl before I came up All these niggas stay long Baby girl you stay strong Love it with your hair long Stay with me for this song Still guilty when I rub you Still guilty when I touch you I promise to never to lay hands up on your face Your the reason why these fuck boys gonna see me change Don't listen to them girl I came to stay Like when we used to see eye to eye What can I say girl You was my ride or die So if you wanna leave I'll have you know I came to stay
Who is the artist playing the sax and where does this come does anybody know? I don't care about Nas or JCole don't know who they are, I want to know about the music and background singers...fabulous.
Kenneth Craddock glad u like it! Mike Patterson on Alto (solo) Geno Finley Trumpet, Ron Cooley, guitar,Rick Chudacoff, bass, and myself,Lester Abrams,drums, vocals, writer, arranger. L.A. Carnival, Omaha Ne. late 60's.Its hard to believe that anyone knows about this band..Thanks for listening!!!
at first the time drags by but then we grow and realize how fast the time flies how do the ppl we idolize become ppl we despise shit becomes obvious when u can see thru all the lies some ppl choose to stay blind or turn they head an act like they don't see but in reality they jus livin in a a fucked up fantasy
Hi, can you please let me know if this instrumental is available on mobile platforms? cause I made a song but youtube banned it on mobile devices. Just trying to figure out how to make it playable://///
Its cazy you wouldnt stay with me At ya mommas house Youd fuck me and ya lay with me Everytime i see you Its more and more a game to me Thinking back like damn how this shit ever came to be How did this shit come to me My mind numb And the numbness It bring me comfort, peace And love I got to much shit on my mind I told her stay I fucking got you But you got then ill be find Feel a little cole With some pressure i can shine I done blown it all back Nd brang it back a million times call me pablo esco Cause i chopped up a lotta lines Heartbreak drake Breaking bitches makem wanna cry Seeing my brother die Make me wanna die But ill meet you in the heavens If i make it to the sky Cause the life we been livin Feeling more like suicide Ans you still wont stay with me You the best thing in my life Guess your dreams cant wait And i know i cant hate I cant blame you dont stay
My mind was closed but now its open, my heart was open but now its frozen I got a love for you that runs deeper than the ocean like you made me drink a secret love potion tryna dodge cupids arrow but i move in slow motion
we ride until we die but for now were alive and were proud and we strive and survive all the times and spit all the rhymes all the time and spill out our minds so if you feeling my lines let it build in your spines im feeling its time to blow up the minds like i throwed up a mine tick boom out of time.a sick dude when i rhyme no fued when i sign but for now i got food on my mind

The first time I heard this song, I was silent for the whole track. Damn near brought a tear to my eyes just off the emotion of the beat.
You had no choice though....you just didn't have a choice
it's not often you'd use a word like "beautiful" to describe a rap beat, but that's the best word that comes to mind for this instrumental
I did tear up hearing this. You know. Hip hop to me isn’t the same and having my favorite artist delivery this and what it felt like running through me. Priceless.
Rawest beat ever!! Real talk shout out to nas, one of THE illest to ever grace the mic..
the person who play this sax did a great job
It's a sample
lol
+dion watkins how is that funny?....
define sample
+dion watkins L.A. Carnival.....thats where this track was sampled from
This is just so incredible. I'm trying to figure out why it's stuck in my head and how it resonates with me presently because I can't get it out my head.
As I sing "Stay" each time differently it's almost like I'm singing to stay in each moment. I'm drawn to stay present and loose this grib and control I want for everything. I want to stay grounded and peaceful and stay alive in all aspects of myself.
This is one of those instrumentals you can listen to without the words. A rare occurrence indeed.
This is a dope beat so mellow definetly to verbally release words of uplifting peaceful light to shine to others. I heard this beat fell in love with it instantly❤❤🙌🏿🕊✨️
J.Cole gave a story to this beat...so deep as usual.
so awesome, beautiful as an instrumental itself. Nas really did it big on this album, as always! True Hip-hop shit..
Its all good. This joint is just so soulfully mellow. I literally am responsibe for about 400 of the 46K views. No I.D. really got it in with this one. Music is suppose to bring people together like this. Regardless who brought you here. God Bless Your Life. Live and let live!
This is one of the few songs on this record that give off an emotional feel to it. Based upon the trumpet. (If I am correct.) Either way, this beat gives off the feeling of sadness when ya shortie leave you based on wrong reasons. Good shit Nas...good shit.
That saxophone, sounds like an Alto, it’s beautiful, the most beautiful sound and instrument and right below that is the Flute Basse in my opinion.
Heard the song, and had to fine the beat alone; the sax was on fire. Song was good, but the background and beat captivated me. 🔥❤
Nas is my top MC, hands down...THIS INSTRUMENTAL THO???I KEEP IT ON REPEAT
One of the most beautiful instrumentals I've ever heard #Coleputmeon :-)
This a masterpiece sooo stuff going on but at the same simple emotional classic and timeless.....
Wonderful sample, I always like some jazz with my hip hop
I love this beat gives me goosebumps 🔥💯
This track is so dope... I was going to make an instrumental, but you did a better job than I would have... Good work homie.
Youre not the only one homie. I respect you for stating that, touches the heart doesnt it?
Such a good storytelling beat
Can No I.D. make a bad beat?
No.
and nowadays hes out here producing a Jay Z Album, No I.D has come a long way.
Just listen to Common Resurrection his work on that album was ahead of time.
My study music... forever relaxes my mind.
This is a very moving beat & song, Nas really put his heart into this album.
just one word: BEAUTIFUL
So much Power! Love it
This is a beat that hits the soul when you hear it RT
This is very well done. Salute!
The original song is called " Seven Steps to Nowhere " by L.A. Carnival
Just an a amazing beat,
why is the fire alarm going off?
The sprinklers are going off, everyone's crying lol
Nas is beautiful for picking this beat....
I swear this beat takes me to memories of living in philly...the train rides on the EL to BSL...people watching in center city...long walks from allegheny to erie ave...just chilling on the stoop just zoning...good times
Maturity of a lyrical genius, jazzy af🙌🏽
Is that Pops on the horn?
A hell we dwell,
farewell these omens we perceive.
Forced to believe in idle beliefs we cannot see.
an eternity of grief kissed with a moment's peace.
with each piece I breathe a disease.
uncommonly my conscience bothers me.
towards the edge I see monotony, follow me please.
With each casualty, the act of mastering defeats inevitably lead to victories.
Viciously, the whispering breeze of being free, tarnished the gold chains which captivate me.
Devastated, I elevated.
the notion of transforming disarmed my enemies.
battle on young paddawon, the war is won.
never to forget,
each crew contains a sith.
as the steps of an infant, the entrance of remembrance accompanied resentment.
A company of Lieutenants couldn't fight these demons.
I demand a reason.
are we devised to lie or are we living for higher meaning?
deeper breathing, these walls are listening.
As I write away my sins, using blood for ink.
I began to think,
are we on the brink of being extinct?
nothing left to say, this world irritates and aggravates.
with the swing of fate, I begin to hate.
my mind aches.
I wish to eliminate.
but before I assimilate, she asks me to.
to stay.....
Toast to the ones able to heal
Steer the wheel and feel
Not progressively get worse but to turn from stone to steel
Inhale the air with the world beneath your heel
They threw me out in the wild, in dire hope for my child
Like a wolf in sheep’s cloak looking for my next meal
Flex still
My heart pressed upon my guess jacket seal
Stand alone, one king one man is known
To cram his dome with too many poems
The land is owned
By the Gods above the surface, slow your role cause you get a plug you just purchase
What really hurts is
He don’t deserve this
He was just a young kid tryna find a purpose but got lost in the sauce no solution was working
Chose the easy way out,
mama please save me the mouth
You don’t understand I’m hurting
I’m suppressing emotions that you inserted
Can I have this on repeat?
whole album has an emotional feel.
Beautiful.
Beautiful melody.
Much Gratitude
this song didnt need lyrics,it fit the tone of the album
RIP my nigga to the days when you knew me well,
But Still I had to switch up all my ways, on my Hov if not I woulda went insane,
Cuz in the streets the winters cold so my soul i had to sell,
Funny tho I grew up as a saint but at your funeral I heard the pastor say,
“Is God even real?”
Always had the faith even in your last days cuz of you I believe too,
When the bills addin up I see there’s not much he can do,
Yet I escaped a couple fates in exchange I see he’s sendin you,
I play this whenever I feel suicidal. Helps sometimes.
💚
Slid🔥💯
so beautiful
3:13 my favorite part
Indeed. So did Nas.
this beat is luxurious. im listening this with my newborn son
So soulful.

You was my ride or die
So if you wanna leave
I'll have you know I came to stay

LA Carnival- Seven Steps
I like both versions.
Nice, download link?
Hi, can you please let me know if this instrumental is available on mobile platforms? cause I made a song but youtube banned it on mobile devices. Just trying to figure out how to make it playable://///
J. Cole put this out before Nas, so we all late. He admits he made a mistake and didn't pay for the beat and Nas did, so he got it
good music Nas
Damn of all the songs we need a slowed reverb of
🖤🤙🏾
I like the album cover. Its deep!
Its cazy you wouldnt stay with me
At ya mommas house
Youd fuck me and ya lay with me
Everytime i see you
Its more and more a game to me
Thinking back like damn how this shit ever came to be
How did this shit come to me
My mind numb
And the numbness
It bring me comfort, peace
And love
I got to much shit on my mind
I told her stay
I fucking got you
But you got then ill be find
Feel a little cole
With some pressure i can shine
I done blown it all back
Nd brang it back a million times
call me pablo esco
Cause i chopped up a lotta lines
Heartbreak drake
Breaking bitches makem wanna cry
Seeing my brother die
Make me wanna die
But ill meet you in the heavens
If i make it to the sky
Cause the life we been livin
Feeling more like suicide
Ans you still wont stay with me
You the best thing in my life
Guess your dreams cant wait
And i know i cant hate
I cant blame you dont stay
My mind was closed but now its open, my heart was open but now its frozen I got a love for you that runs deeper than the ocean like you made me drink a secret love potion tryna dodge cupids arrow but i move in slow motion
i cried after listen 2 it a few times.
nice.
for real :P i feel you
Links down my man, can you send it to me?
we ride until we die but for now were alive
and were proud and we strive and survive all the times and spit all the rhymes all the time and spill out our minds so if you feeling my lines let it build in your spines im feeling its time to blow up the minds like i throwed up a mine tick boom out of time.a sick dude when i rhyme no fued when i sign but for now i got food on my mind
Thee Best
I can't find it anywhere, do you have a link?

Some Seek Fame Cause They Need Validation, Some Say Hating Is Confused Admiration, Only Nas Yo

J. Cole disapproves, everyone else knows quality music when they hear it!
