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.
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.
Why so much hate toward cole him and Nas both did this beat justice why not give props to both instead of arguing of arguing who released it first and who's better respect the men and their love of music and rap

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 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

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

Feeling life's windy storm, strange mentally alone, still only 22 years old. reflections on the mirror cold, growing old, dreams about the throne. young kid with lots to show! Whats this world got to behold? blindfold, Realize the truth behind their eyes THERE LIES, old folks told me... (STAYYYYYYY)

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!!!
Exposing the issue Of course I miss you Wish you would've fessed up Cause we would of been better Not concealing my feelings Cause I have to crack Understand that I do want you back But you have daughter And the father is my friend He said that's not what he intended And that's not what I expected I pretend to believe his wording Now im hurting cause you couldn't stay Now you way out the picture Now chasing perpetual bitches Grooming them gifting purses But I would've gave you half my earnings Earrings and some verses But now my values is just worthless I continue working And it's me to blame Feelings hurt played the same game You fucked me twice And I just lay Shit I ain't feeling good I'm leaving early Pussy good but I Couldnt stay Over stressing over her g Smoke some sess and grab a 40 Just a shorty counting money For my fam Thinking poorly Skipping classes Working hard but I have some managers Minimum wage and little advantages Careless caused a I cared a bit Counting my last days, marking the calendar Depression settling I see the caliber I pray Momma Im sorry I know you wish i would've stayed
STAY angry all the time over little shit Sick of blunts, guns and liquor -- all that nigga shit Fucking sick of it, either way Im a lyricist One bad break up and my spirits filled with bitterness Ridiculous, am I really this weak? Let one woman in my life, she wrecks my psych Honesty is hard for me to achieve/ believe Every instinct screams leave, but tonight, I know I gotta STAY
(Intro) (Verse1) 1:04 You're the cause of all my life's joys I have my own but you're also in other girls and boys You keep my blood flowing You are my life line When the girl I want is near you make my pulse climb The reason I still rhyme Reason I can't quit rap Reason I can keep on managing the will to come back I can feel you turning black I can feel you're departure b When you slip away I literally lose a part of me We're supposed to be a team My left side man I understand why your fading cause we've been so damned We've been dealt a bad hand Motivations getting canned And our taste in women are very bland Are you the reason I'm so bland? Loving and caring and? So forgiving even if I find my woman with another man Fuck! No wonder you don't want me Together we're to loving but darkness can't take your space I need you to....... Stay (Bridge) (Verse2) 2:08 Is it possible that I can I get just one more night? You make my life so dark but yet so bright 3 years gone to waste cause now I'm alone at night You gave me nothing but permanent scars that will last for life Memories won't fade Flashes of me getting played One reason we were plagued Now the relationship is dead No matter how much I pled So deep in love took my brain away to blind the bad and my heart led Damn I expected so much more from you Especially cause you preached good and said your love was true Now what do I do after I gave you it all Nothing else I can do for you hanging on a edge and you let me fall Deceiving and manipulative is the biggest part of why I hate you Keep on denying lying but we both know what's true Even though you did all that I still have to say I love you I want you here with me and far away so I can't have you....... Stay (Outro)
Flow, is born within, not practiced like a ritual, i say this without the sense of being spiritual, people don't ridicule the young and up n coming talent.
![J. Cole Feat. Nas - Let Nas Down (Remix) [Lyrics on Screen]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KRICzah1ono/mqdefault.jpg)
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
This is one of those instrumentals you can listen to without the words. A rare occurrence indeed.
J.Cole gave a story to this beat...so deep as usual.
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
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.
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.
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.
One of the most beautiful instrumentals I've ever heard #Coleputmeon :-)
My study music... forever relaxes my mind.
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. 🔥❤
This a masterpiece sooo stuff going on but at the same simple emotional classic and timeless.....
so awesome, beautiful as an instrumental itself. Nas really did it big on this album, as always! True Hip-hop shit..
Why so much hate toward cole him and Nas both did this beat justice why not give props to both instead of arguing of arguing who released it first and who's better respect the men and their love of music and rap
Facts
I love this beat gives me goosebumps 🔥💯
Nas is my top MC, hands down...THIS INSTRUMENTAL THO???I KEEP IT ON REPEAT
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.....
The original song is called " Seven Steps to Nowhere " by L.A. Carnival
Such a good storytelling beat
Nas is beautiful for picking this beat....
Wonderful sample, I always like some jazz with my hip hop
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 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.
This is a beat that hits the soul when you hear it RT
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,
This is a very moving beat & song, Nas really put his heart into this album.
just one word: BEAUTIFUL
this beat is luxurious. im listening this with my newborn son
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
So much Power! Love it

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.
beat is dope, his dad plays cornet, i wonder if this is an original.
Just an a amazing beat,
Youre not the only one homie. I respect you for stating that, touches the heart doesnt it?
whole album has an emotional feel.
Beautiful.
3:13 my favorite part
I admit I only heard of this song because of J.Cole but I'm glad I did or I wouldn't have found such an amazing song
NO ID is a master producer, amongst the dres, pharells, Q tips & j dillas
Much Gratitude
this song didnt need lyrics,it fit the tone of the album
Beautiful melody.
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
I play this whenever I feel suicidal. Helps sometimes.
💚
This is very well done. Salute!
The verse I got for this going to shock the world 🌎🤯
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
why is the fire alarm going off?
The sprinklers are going off, everyone's crying lol
Still
Still
Moving 22
It’s been too long
For I seen it all
Fog fall or fleeting cars
Seen the stars
Scars resting in my right arm
Dawg
It was nights long
Turn the lights on
Ask can u Stay long
I remain calm
Dash in my face com
Reminiscing like a rerun
Day long
Avalanches on the brain
Keep the face strong
Gang
Long it’s game on
Stretching crow
Black boy bird special-o
Emphasis essentual
Steady roll
Still
I’m with my brothers
Like key locks
Opening something special
They ready like theme parks
The coast clear
Cheffed the recipe
Buttered up with a soft seer
5-star
I’m
Can I have this on repeat?
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
Indeed. So did Nas.
I'm sittin' thinking Nas gonna start spittin'.. then I remembered it's the instrumental.
😂 LoL right
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
Anybody know any other hip hop songs with amazing soul samples like this. If you do reply with a suggestion.
Nas - Slow it Down. Sounds similar enough
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
so beautiful
fr i heard that life was likea boxa chocolates but for some of us its like bein locked inside of the closet inside of the projects
Your unknown
Seed sewed
Your offspring
Barely
5 years old when
you lost me
its haunting
thinking of what could’ve
been
I wish I could fast forward
To the end
See the road
Ahead
Pray I’ll see you soon
Again
But until then
I Trap these thoughts in my head
spill out my soul with this pen
Painting pictures
On this pad
The good
The bad
The sad
the mad
I’m mad atcha
Nah
I ain’t mad atcha
Cause I probably would’ve done the same
If I had to
Leave the minny apple
For the big one
The city of dreams
Heading for queens
A young black king chasing his dreams
I looked up to these scenes
Dreamed of living on screens
I know it ain’t what it seems
The grass ain’t always green
Not every diamond is shining
But I’m not whining
Bout my place
Just dreaming of where I’ll be
The visions I see
So clearly
I know its nearly
Here
But the closer I get
The more I feel it disappear
And slowly creeping in comes the fear
My grief
My strife
The battles I fight
And win
And lose
Just to realize
In my ways
I’m becoming more
Like you
Why couldn’t you stay?
this beat is crazy.......so liking it
So chill...
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
So soulful.
Feeling life's windy storm, strange mentally alone, still only 22 years old.
reflections on the mirror cold, growing old, dreams about the throne.
young kid with lots to show! Whats this world got to behold? blindfold,
Realize the truth behind their eyes THERE LIES, old folks told me... (STAYYYYYYY)
good music Nas
J. Cole disapproves, everyone else knows quality music when they hear it!
"I just see things differently I ain't neva beggin for no sympathy, 'honestly, its honesty, thank you and come along wit me, yes, follow me.'" -Dr. Swagalicious
perfect way to describe it
yes it is .
stay 4 letter word/
used to be so close i always put you first
times change my feelings dont
baby do me this favour and hear this one song
you were the bread to ma butter
the butter to ma toast different girl from the most
without you in my life im so lost feeling like a ghost
so i hope you remember me as i get up an say this toast...
Look up Sincerely Yours by Phora he did great on this beat!
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.

LA Carnival- Seven Steps
Exposing the issue
Of course I miss you
Wish you would've fessed up
Cause we would of been better
Not concealing my feelings
Cause I have to crack
Understand that I do want you back
But you have daughter
And the father is my friend
He said that's not what he intended
And that's not what I expected
I pretend to believe his wording
Now im hurting cause you couldn't stay
Now you way out the picture
Now chasing perpetual bitches
Grooming them gifting purses
But I would've gave you half my earnings
Earrings and some verses
But now my values is just worthless
I continue working
And it's me to blame
Feelings hurt played the same game
You fucked me twice
And I just lay
Shit I ain't feeling good I'm leaving
early
Pussy good but
I Couldnt stay
Over stressing over her g
Smoke some sess and grab a 40
Just a shorty counting money
For my fam
Thinking poorly
Skipping classes
Working hard but I have some managers
Minimum wage and little advantages
Careless caused a I cared a bit
Counting my last days, marking the calendar
Depression settling
I see the caliber
I pray
Momma Im sorry
I know you wish i would've stayed
Damn of all the songs we need a slowed reverb of
STAY angry all the time over little shit
Sick of blunts, guns and liquor -- all that nigga shit
Fucking sick of it, either way Im a lyricist
One bad break up and my spirits filled with bitterness
Ridiculous, am I really this weak?
Let one woman in my life, she wrecks my psych
Honesty is hard for me to achieve/ believe
Every instinct screams leave, but tonight, I know I gotta
STAY
Some Seek Fame Cause They Need Validation, Some Say Hating Is Confused Admiration, Only Nas Yo
(Intro)
(Verse1) 1:04
You're the cause of all my life's joys
I have my own but you're also in other girls and boys
You keep my blood flowing
You are my life line
When the girl I want is near you make my pulse climb
The reason I still rhyme
Reason I can't quit rap
Reason I can keep on managing the will to come back
I can feel you turning black
I can feel you're departure b
When you slip away I literally lose a part of me
We're supposed to be a team
My left side man
I understand why your fading cause we've been so damned
We've been dealt a bad hand
Motivations getting canned
And our taste in women are very bland
Are you the reason I'm so bland?
Loving and caring and?
So forgiving even if I find my woman with another man
Fuck!
No wonder you don't want me
Together we're to loving but darkness can't take your space I need you to....... Stay
(Bridge)
(Verse2) 2:08
Is it possible that I can I get just one more night?
You make my life so dark but yet so bright
3 years gone to waste cause now I'm alone at night
You gave me nothing but permanent scars that will last for life
Memories won't fade
Flashes of me getting played
One reason we were plagued
Now the relationship is dead
No matter how much I pled
So deep in love took my brain away to blind the bad and my heart led
Damn I expected so much more from you
Especially cause you preached good and said your love was true
Now what do I do after I gave you it all
Nothing else I can do for you hanging on a edge and you let me fall
Deceiving and manipulative is the biggest part of why I hate you
Keep on denying lying but we both know what's true
Even though you did all that I still have to say I love you
I want you here with me and far away so I can't have you....... Stay
(Outro)
fyeeeee
it was originally J.cole's beat, the first one to put on work was CyHi tha prince
Flow, is born within, not practiced like a ritual, i say this without the sense of being spiritual, people don't ridicule the young and up n coming talent.
Why? When I look for the song stay I cant find it just the instrumental this song was so strong
this is also woopty doo by cyhi the prince and big sean
This is that weekend chill music
i LOVE THIS SHIT. I like How Cyhi da prince did it too
Brilliant. Think you do the same with Bye Baby?
Man....yes...
Big Krit ate this beat..
Much appreciated friend.
