Stay Gone

Uh

This is a story

Where they kept it all in the family

The more you try to run, you can't shake it

So you stay gone

Look, he was a Vietnam veteran facing the trauma that living life brings

He used to be dressed well with nice things

The hood'll sell you pipe dreams

But the country'll sell you more than you could ever think life brings

He's in love with the night scene

The street lights is broken, the weak pray the moonlight gleams

He can't sleep, his veins is on fire

That heroin'll make man ice skate on kite strings

Put the fire to the spoon, watch it sizzle

Now he's close to seeing what the other side of the light brings

Heaven on Earth for what it's worth

Every dose is full of bliss, but he's chasing the first

Stay gone, plagued by America's wrongs

Premonitions are war-ridden, it's gory and cold

'Cause he's committed to the weakness, a victim of that temptation

He try to run from the past but can't shake it

He stay gone

Tell me what yo' vice is

Tell me what yo' vice is

I can't eat, can't sleep, I'm stuck in a zone

It feels good, but I know that it's wrong

The fire and desire's in his eyes

He lust for every woman but his bride

He can't sleep, so late night, he drives

In search of thick thighs for his passenger side

Nice ride, and his tint was on 75

What is Kama Sutra? You see a woman, the thought'd seduce ya

It's like a battle with Don Juan and Medusa

His pops is a user, so his mom won't stay

She tryna keep the house afloat like Ganvie

Now he moving under the same moonlight as Dad do

Swanky hotel room, side chicks wit' tattoos

It's square biz, so she know he don't need her

Before sex, he took the ring right off of his finger

He saw his momma carry trauma for a load of his life

Like his daddy, he threw the same trauma onto his wife

'Cause he's committed to the weakness, a victim of that temptation

He try to run from the past but can't shake it

He stay gone

Tell me what yo' vice is

Tell me what yo' vice is

I can't eat, can't sleep, I'm stuck in a zone

It feels good, but I know that it's wrong
