Lyrics
 [Intro: Phil Perry & Sparky Kane] If your beauty, I'd no longer see Would you leave me? Pretty baby (Yeah) And if I thought it best to set you free, yeah (Yo) Would you hate me? (It's SK) If you would, please tell me now so I can- (Listen, yo)

[Verse 1: Sparky Kane] I went from Blue Cage to the block living This life about taking, ain't no time for giving It's stressful on them roads, there ain't no forgiving Fucking up once and it's a wrap, and now the boy missing

Precision when it come to dissing They tried to run around the kid, and now they need de-fibbing Who am I kidding? Been with it from knee high Everybody gripping 'til man ah see the inside

Like Young Ababwa, dodged a T charge 'cause CJ pulled a couple strings like a guitar And these days a trip to Bolingbroke, it never seems far But meanwhile they tryna spin the block, where the G's are

They never call to check up if the boy's bless They just calling for a re-up of the new cess 12 gauge staying tucked inside the damn vest The life we live is different to the rest, yeah, it put us to the test

Recently I lost a brother, that's some shit that hurt me Lost ways with the streets, and now the darg, he wasn't worthy Hella love for the boy, I always hope he reps the jersey Don't ever lose the passion, bro, my brother, please stay thirsty

You done some shit I can't forgive Can't comprehend what made my killy turn to this Certi, it's unexpected especially from the boy, you was my day one Gave the boy my hand, he didn't want to fucking change nothing

[Interlude: Lana Valentine] Yo, T, I need you to pick up the phone right now There's so much shit going down at the block, and Dwayne He's gone crazy, he's snitching on everybody and he's dating a cop And I don't know what to do, everybody, they're not listening to Each other and we just- we need you, we need you Pick up the phone

[Verse 2: Tommy T] They rely on me for their direction The life we live's a tough profession We're trying to dodge the 'rale and just dodge correction They don't want to see us winning, I just find that shit perplexing

I had to part ways with my Valentine I'm always on the grind, I keep my focus, I ain't got the time for slipping Packs stay flipping, I'm just Hycade whipping Do I die to these streets or do I try dipping?

That's my decision, guess it's time to make some choices Every day I wake up, I'm just hearing different voices Built something beautiful, I can't let streets destroy it The curse of this life, man, this shit's annoying, troops deploying

Come a long way from fishing trips with Moses Some shit that goes down that you'll never notice 'cause loose lips lead to funerals and roses Ever been on corner 'til the shop closes? It's that process

Huh, I'm trying to process Shit that I've seen leaves me so vexed They get real tecky, never checking if the boy's bless This lifestyle full of stress, I've gotta lot of shit to digest

It's Mandem on my chain and my vest You know we stay different to the rest It says Mandem on my chest, never gonna change It's Tommy T, bro, and I'm here to stay source: https://genius.com/Tommy-t-and-sparky-kane-here-to-stay-lyrics
