Did you know... [x7]
|
That I love you.
|
Did you know... [x4]
|
And I want you.
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
I'll admit things ain't been the way I thought they would be.
|
Didn't expect so much stress to develop between me and you.
|
I knew that it wasn't easy but sometimes when we fight it don't seems like God's design.
|
But then I hear words you said and I promised I would stand for you and be true throughout the bad and the good.
|
And I know what it means to be committed.
|
So here's a word for you but you just ain't with it.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Stay down. (We're almost to the very best part)
|
Stay down. (You'll always be the pride in my heart)
|
Stay down. (We too can pass the test)
|
Stay down. (Yeah, we gotta lot of work)
|
Stay down. (I know it ain't been the best but it certainly ain't been the worst)
|
Stay down. (The drama will not last forever)
|
Stay down. (We'll beat it long as we're together)
|
One day we'll look back on this. (Yeah)
|
We'll be like "Remember this"? (Remember this)
|
And it's gonna make us smile. (Make us smile)
|
Cause in the end we stayed down.
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
I ain't gone lie, at times you amaze me.
|
You be talking and I swear that you're crazy.
|
But I learned a long time ago that pride don't help.
|
It only hurts.
|
And I just want you to know... I need you baby.
|
(I need you)
|
I'm just like Weezy baby.
|
Not Weezy like a son of baby.
|
But the wife of George and we're moving on up.
|
Ten years strong and we're looking like a plan.
|
I'm looking like your woman and you're looking like my man.
|
We looking like real.
|
And the haters look fake.
|
Especially when they hear me say...
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Stay down. (We're almost to the very best part)
|
Stay down. (You'll always have a place in my heart)
|
Stay down. (We too can pass the test)
|
Stay down. (You know we gotta lot of work)
|
Stay down. (I know it ain't been the best but it certainly ain't been the worst)
|
Stay down. (The drama will not last forever)
|
Stay down. (We'll beat it long as we're together)
|
One day we'll look back on this. (One day we'll look back on this.
|
We'll be like "Remember this"? (We'll be like "Remember this"?)
|
And it's gonna make us smile. (Make us smile)
|
Cause in the end we stayed down. (Stayed down)
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
Understand you are the one in my heart.
|
(And I'm holding yours so we can't live apart)
|
When things stop making sense we'll figure it out.
|
(I walked into this and I don't wanna walk out no, no)
|
(Everything ain't gonna be how we like)
|
(And what is worth keeping if it didn't take a fight?)
|
(Your healing is in me and my healing is in you)
|
(So get your mind right cause here's what we're gonna do)
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Stay down. (We're almost to the very best part)
|
Stay down. (You'll always be the pride in my heart)
|
Stay down. (We too can pass the test)
|
Stay down. (You know we gotta lot of work)
|
Stay down. (I know it ain't been the best but it certainly ain't been the worst)
|
Stay down. (The drama will not last forever)
|
Stay down. (We'll beat it long as we're together)
|
One day we'll look back on this. (One day we'll look back on this)
|
We'll be like "Remember this"? (We'll be like "Remember this"?)
|
And it's gonna make us smile. (Make us smile)
|
Cause in the end we stayed down. (Stay down)
|
Did you know... [x7]
|
That I...
|
Did you know... [x8]
