Carry On

I've been working so
I've been working so
I've been working so hard

Why you bring me down?
Why you bring me down?
I've been working so hard

You'll be smooth, I'll be smoother
Smoother than silk
Let honesty remain my virtue
Motherin' is my milk
To push strong 'til the end
Because the stress is the life
Keep on pushin' like a player
Guess you can't see our strife

We're in this together
'Cause there's no place to run
Man's built the gun
That's why I'm chasing the sun
You wanna walk how you walk
Then watch me try to stay how I stayed
I can't be swayed by the man

I love my shorties with my heart
I'll always lend them my hand
Teach my children about the seeds
You wanna take from the sand
Gotta maintain motherfucker
Gotta stick to these plans
'Cause this globalized village made it all-out war

Hip-hop will be my wings
And enough men needing to soar
I see more guns than children being born everyday
Another mother'll have to weep
Because you'd rob her's away
I guess you're never gonna figure
No man's bigger than the next
Instead of building, you'll be killing
Every man's getting vexed, so carry on

Carry on, carry on
Maintain

How would you like to stick with me?
How much do you love to free-fall?
I never thought that I would have
To stay so near to keep you, dear

How would you like to stick with me?
And do you love to free-fall?
I never thought that I would have
To speak so loud for you to hear

I need your loving
I try so hard
To maintain

I need your loving
And I try so hard
To maintain

Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on

I wanna chill for real
But I can't seem to escape
Because your five-minute pleasures
Got me screaming out rape
And parliament, they keep me tied up
With the fucking red tape
Left tap's on my phone
They got me thinking about fate

Hold it, freeze keeps me thinking
That there's no time to wait
And now the prison cell bars
Offer up heaven's gate
But we're like in this together
See, there's no place to run
Man's built the gun
So we're chasing the sun

Carry on, carry on

Day and night
Hell, everyday
I'll carry on, yeah yeah

On every single part I play
I'll be so strong
Hell, I won't give up the fight

Day and night
Hell, everyday
I'll carry on

I'll live my life on center stage
I'll carry on, I'll be so strong
I won't give up the fight

Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
