Stay Gold – Bryson Tiller

Don’t you know? Girl, you’re cold

I’m about to lose control

You know we’re tied by souls (Tied by souls)

More than worth your weight in gold, gold

Don’t you know? Girl, you’re cold (You’re so cold)

I just might lose control (Lose con)

You know we’re tied by souls (Tied by souls)

More than worth your weight in gold

Don’t you know?

What you keep forwarding my calls for?

You know that’s uncalled for

No matter the occasion, I’ma do what it calls for

Ain’t too proud to beg, what you want me to crawl for it?

Told you I was with it, all you said you was all for it

You who I belong to, plus who I long for

Supportive type, behind you, ‘specially when you on all fours

Arguin’ while I drive, hoppin’ out, slammin’ car doors

Standin’ on the things I promised you, I won’t fall short

Spendin’ time and money on you, just so we bond more

His and hers, our world, baby, I’m all yours

Aim to please through and through, pleasures of all sorts

Trust me to steer the ship but you the wave when I’m on board

Trust me to steer the ship but you the wave when I’m on board

You know that I’m on board (Shh), uh

And the intentions are all pure

These roses are red, these hundreds are blue

If you the one then I’m runnin’ into

Flower child, watchin’ you comin’ to bloom

Soon as the wheels touch the runway, I’m comin’ to you (You, you)

My spirit lift when you come in the room

Don’t you know? Girl, you’re cold

I’m about to lose control (Lose)

You know we’re tied by souls (Tied by souls)

More than worth your weight (Weight) in gold, gold (Yeah, yeah, right)

Don’t you know? Girl, you’re cold (Cold)

I’ma ’bout to lose control (Lose control)

You know we’re tied by souls (Yeah)

Only worth your weight in gold (Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold)

Don’t you know? Uh

Damn

Huh

Hey

Hey, this is for my—

This is for my—
