I Wish That I Could Stay Here For Life Lyrics

[Part I]

[Pre-Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
Look at the sky
I wish that I could stay here for life
I wish that I could stay here
Baby, look at the sky
The moon shining bright tonight
I wish that I could stay here for life (Ooh)
I wish that I could stay here

[Chorus: A$AP Rocky, Brent Faiyaz & Both]
Ain’t no dials on the clock (Stay here, stay here), got me lookin’ down at my watch (Yeah)
Wish I could buy time back right now (I wish that I could stay here)
Ain’t no dials on the clock (Stay here, stay here), got me lookin’ down at my watch
Wish I could buy time back
Ain’t no dials on the clock (Stay here, stay here), got me lookin’ down at my watch
Wish I could buy time back right now (I wish that I could stay here)
Ain’t no dials on the clock (Stay here, stay hеre), got me lookin’ down at my watch (Oh)
Wish I could buy time back (I wish that I could stay hеre)

[Verse 1: A$AP Rocky & Brent Faiyaz]
It’s so hard to think about us, say goodbye, don’t want the day to end
Duckin’ paparazzi, my Mercedes-Benz five percent
Done the drama, I was tryna drop my opp behind a tint
Gotta speed and drive to be on time, your flight arrive at 10
Boys don’t cry, but, boy, that girl turn boys to men (Dry your tears)
Birdie told me, “Girls don’t cry, that’s only in Japan”
Gone with the wind, if I’m gone, I’m goin’ in (Ah)
Goin’ rogue, we on ten, get her a towel, throw it in
F^^k you, won’t f^^k your friend, f^^k sleep, let’s f^^k again
F^^k you to sleep in my suite, then wake you up, then f^^k again
Most folks hope we don’t win, don’t fold and we don’t bend
When you alone, we have phone s^^, FaceTime me when you undress
Run red lights, won’t stop, period, shoot the club, we can co-parent (Just look at the sky)
Tell ’em, “Stay out of grown-folk business” (Girl), my fairytale with a happy ending

[Pre-Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
I wish that I could stay here for life
I wish that I could stay here
Baby, look at the sky
The moon shining bright tonight
I wish that I could stay here for life (Ooh)
I wish that I could stay here

[Chorus: A$AP Rocky & Brent Faiyaz]
Ain’t no dials on the clock (Stay here, stay here), got me lookin’ down at my watch
Wish I could buy time back right now (I wish that I could stay here)
Ain’t no dials on the clock (Stay here, stay here), got me lookin’ down at my watch (Baby girl)
Wish I could buy time back (I wish that I could stay here)

[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky & Brent Faiyaz]
Last call, but I’m at least like two in, been waitin’ since you flew in
Been thinkin’ and pursuin’, I see life through a new lens
It’s shakin’, that s^^t movin’, been thinkin’ you should move in
Let’s mate and have a few kids, why the f^^k not?
Truth is I just got struck by Cupid (Stay here, stay here, yeah)
Let’s make this s^^t exclusive, she wear it if the shoe fit (I wish that I could stay here)
I lost her, I would lose it (Stay here, stay here)
She hop up on it, do tricks, I twist it like a Rubik’s
No pillow talk, no loose lips, why the f^^k not?

[Verse 3: Brent Faiyaz]
‘Cause, like, I been looking for you all year long
Have you been looking for me as well?
Am I onto something or am I wrong?
Only time will tell
I wanna keep you here with me (Ooh)
And do some things you won’t believe (You won’t)
Touch me, baby girl
Then I’ll let you touch on me
Just look at the sky, ooh, babe (Yeah, you know I got you)

[Part II]

[Intro: A$AP Rocky]
My smokers, just holla at me, I keep—

[Chorus: A$AP Rocky]
If my smokers want this dope, follow me
My smokers, just holla at me, you want this dope, follow me
My smokers, just holla at me
If my smokers want this dope, follow me
My smokers, just holla at me, you want this dope, follow me

[Post-Chorus: A$AP Rocky]
I know what I do today, contracting in my body
Spirit in, nowadays, we just be screamin’, chasin’ all this a^^
Every time, been did by hella pimp, the way that we walk through that b^^ch
Don’t f^^kin’ trust me in your score, above gaggin’ me, say you did

[Outro]
This is just a quick one for you dumb, narrow-minded motherf^^kers out there, I am not a player
Listen to any of my shows, read any of my motherf^^kin’ stories
And you will see that I have never called myself a player
So some of you n^^gas around here that’s, quote, unquote, look up to me
Seem to feel that you’re disappointed
‘Cause I’ve taken this latest relationship step that I’ve taken
Let me tell y’all n^^gas somethin’
F^^k y’all n^^gas
