Under the velvet veil of a midnight rendezvous, where city lights blur into cosmic promises, A$AP Rocky unearths the fragile beauty of moments we’d kill to bottle forever. Teaming up with Brent Faiyaz on “STAY HERE 4 LIFE,” the Harlem visionary pours out a soul-stirring ode to love’s ephemeral grip, set against the backdrop of his long-awaited return to full-length glory. From the pre-chorus’s wistful gaze at the stars to Rocky’s raw confessions of dodging paparazzi and chasing permanence, this track pulses with the quiet desperation of lovers racing the dawn. It’s the kind of song that hits different after a late-night drive, pulling you into its orbit with lines that linger like smoke.

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 The 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 (Oh)

[Verse 1: A$AP Rocky & Brent Faiyaz]
It’s So Hard To Think About Us, Say Goodbye, Don’t Want The Day To End
Duckin’ Paparazzi, My Mercedes-benz Five Percent
Done With Drama, I Was Tryna Drop My Opp Behind A Tint
Gotta Speed And Drive To Be On Time, Your Flight Arrive At 10
Boys Don’t Cry, But, Boy, That Girl Turn Boys To Men (Dry Your Tears)
Birdie Told Me, “Girls Don’t Cry, That’s Only In Japan” (Ooh)
Gone With The Wind, If I’m Gone, I’m Goin’ In (Ah)
Goin’ Rogue, We On Ten
Get Her A Towel, Throw It In
F**k You, Won’t F**k Your Friend, F**k Sleep, Let’s F**k Again
F**k You To Sleep In My Suite, Then Wake You Up Then F**k Again
Most Folks Hope We Don’t Win
Don’t Fold And We Don’t Bend
When You’re Alone We Have Phone Sex
Facetime Me When You Undress
Run Red Lights, Won’t Stop, Period
Shoot The Club, We Can Co-parent (Just Look At The Sky)
Tell ’em, “Stay Out Of The Grown-folk Business” (Oh)
My Fairytale, A Happy Ending
[Pre-Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
I Wish That I Could Stay Here For Life
I Wish That I Could Stay Here
Baby, Look At The Sky
The Moon Shining Bright Tonight
I Wish That I Could Stay Here For Life (Ooh)
I Wish That I Could Stay Here
[Chorus: A$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 The 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 (Oh, Baby Girl)
Wish I Could Buy The Time Back (I Wish That I Could Stay Here)
[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky & Brent Faiyaz]
That’s Cold, But I’m At Least Like 2m
Been Waitin’ Since You Flew In, Been Thinkin’ And Pursuin’
I See Life Through A New Lens
It’s Shakin’, That Shit Movin’, Been Thinkin’ You Should Move In
Let’s Mate And Have A Few Kids (Why The F**k Not?)
Truth Is I Just Got Struck By Cupid (Stay Here, Stay Here, Yeah)
Let’s Make This Shit Exclusive,
She Wear It If The Shoe Fit (I Wish That I Could Stay Here)
I Lost Her, I Would Lose It (Stay Here, Stay Here)
She Hop Up On It, Do Tricks, I Twist It Like A Rubik’s
No Pillow Talk, No Loose Lips, Why The F**k Not?
[Verse 3: Brent Faiyaz]
‘Cause, Like, I Been Looking For You All Year Long
Have You Been Looking For Me As Well?
Am I Onto Something Or Am I Wrong?
Only Time Will Tell
I Wanna Keep You Here With Me (Ooh)
And Do Some Things You Won’t Believe (You Won’t)
Touch, Baby Girl
Then I’ll Let Ya Touch On Me
Just Look At The Sky, Ooh, Babe (Yeah, You Know I Got You)
[Pre-Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
I Wish That I Could Stay Here For Life
I Wish That I Could Stay Here
Baby, Look At The Sky
The Moon Shining Bright Tonight
I Wish That I Could Stay Here For Life (Ooh)
I Wish That I Could Stay Here
[Chorus: A$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 The 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 (Oh, Baby Girl)
Wish I Could Buy The Time Back Right Now (I Wish That I Could Stay Here)
Ain’t No Dials On The Clock, Got Me Lookin’ Down At My Watch
Wish I Could Buy The Time Back Right Now

[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 Niggas Around Here That’s Quote-on-quote Look Up To Me
Seem To Feel That You’re Disappointed
’cause I’m Takin’ This Latest Relationship Step That I’ve Taken
Let Me Tell Y’all Niggas Somethin’
F**k Y’all Niggas
About “STAY HERE 4 LIFE by A$AP Rocky”
A$AP Rocky and Brent Faiyaz summon the stars as accomplices in “STAY HERE 4 LIFE,” a hypnotic blend of yearning hooks and velvet verses that make eternity feel just one breath away.
Diving deeper, “STAY HERE 4 LIFE” weaves a tapestry of romantic vulnerability and streetwise swagger, its themes orbiting the ache to halt time amid fame’s relentless churn—think dodging drama in tinted Mercedes, turning boys into men through heartbreak, and dreaming of co-parenting under red lights. The mood is introspective yet electric, a nocturnal haze where paranoia meets passion, all wrapped in a genre-blurring fusion of hip-hop introspection and R&B sensuality. Production shines through Brent Faiyaz and Hit-Boy’s alchemy: lush, moonlit synths cradle Rocky’s punchy flows and Faiyaz’s falsetto sighs, creating space for every “I wish” to echo like a prayer.
This gem anchors DON’T BE DUMB, Rocky’s fourth studio album and his first since 2018’s Testing, a sprawling 17-track odyssey that redefines his artistic empire. Dropped today via AWGE/A$AP Worldwide and RCA Records, the project pulses with matured vision—infused with fatherhood’s glow, Rihanna’s subtle muse-like presence, and a sonic palette that nods to Harlem roots while globe-trotting into psychedelic soul. It’s Rocky’s boldest statement yet: smarter, sharper, and unapologetically evolved, trading early bravado for layered reflections on legacy, loss, and unbreakable bonds. Early streams are surging, with the album already nearing a million pre-saves on Spotify, teasing visuals and collabs that promise to dominate 2026’s cultural conversation.
For Rocky, now 38 and navigating the dual worlds of rap royalty and family man, “STAY HERE 4 LIFE” signals a profound pivot. After years of singles, tours, and personal milestones—like welcoming kids with Rihanna amid tabloid tempests—this track mirrors his growth: less wild-child flex, more philosophical fire. It slots into his discography as a bridge from Live. Love. A$AP’s raw hunger to something wiser, where vulnerability isn’t weakness but weapon. Why it matters? In an era of disposable hits, Rocky’s return reminds us hip-hop’s elders can still redefine intimacy, turning fleeting flings into forever anthems.
The song’s two-part structure amps the intimacy—Part I a tender duet of longing and lust, Part II a cryptic, codeine-laced detour into Rocky’s enigmatic edge, complete with an outro rant dismantling player myths. It’s peak Rocky: playful yet profound, inviting listeners to question their own “what ifs” under the same sky.
As DON’T BE DUMB reshapes playlists from Brooklyn lofts to global stages, expect “STAY HERE 4 LIFE” to soundtrack a thousand sunset scrolls and late confessions.
