Carry Me Away歌词

[00:24.25]I was an outcast, outsider, trouble maker
[00:26.82]A lost soul, outta control, in danger
[00:29.28]Didn't have a care in the world, my feelings were numb
[00:31.77]Never showing emotion is easy for some
[00:33.86]I don't know how it happened, how
[00:35.38]I got to this point
[00:36.14]But I needed a way out,
[00:38.10]I was stuck in a ploy
[00:39.17]I needed another path or
[00:40.81]I'd self destruct
[00:41.71]I was down on my luck, my head was so ****ed
[00:44.25]A menace rolling the streets is what
[00:45.96]I was holding my heat and rolling with the serious thugs
[00:48.69]You couldn't tell me a thing,
[00:50.33]I was like my brother
[00:51.32]Words went in one ear and out the other
[00:52.86]Slanging and banging with a chip on my shoulder
[00:56.27]An insane, hit the brain, certified street soldier
[00:58.89]So close to the grave at an early age
[01:01.37]Can't tell you the price I've paid
[01:03.67]Oh, the sky overhead is like a canvas of gray
[01:07.77]I don't know how much time
[01:10.74]I'll be given to stay
[01:13.40]From the first spring to light till the end of the day
[01:17.48]I'm just living my life till they come carry me away
[01:23.92]I've been there in LA nights in the block where I came up
[01:26.44]My pops used to hate when we hanged with them bangers
[01:28.58]Guess he knew one day that will become us
[01:31.00]That's just how it is when you live where we come from
[01:33.42]Fight, don't run, is the motto we live by
[01:36.00]Get them on the ground and stomp a mind about ten times
[01:38.50]Sure, we was just kids back then
[01:40.91]I had no remorse for what we did back then
[01:43.45]Six of us, one call, we'd all pack in
[01:45.72]Hit the strip and go and get the s**t crack in Gun wars and drug deals,
[01:48.36]I seen them happen
[01:50.75]When I started losing home, boys,
[01:53.38]I wasn't laughing
[01:54.38]I looked all around and seen none of them there
[01:55.61]That's when I figured out that nobody cared
[01:58.10]If we lived or die, we'll just get high and dry
[02:00.51]And I wasn't gonna let this happen one more time
[02:02.92]Oh, the sky overhead is like a canvas of gray
[02:07.20]I don't know how much time
[02:10.53]I'll be given to stay
[02:12.11]From the first spring to light till the end of the day
[02:16.88]I'm just living my life till they come carry me away
[02:23.21]My mother would stand for me every step of the way
[02:25.10]She didn't judge me, she told me I'd win some day
[02:27.52]When I was at my lowest, when I had no focus
[02:30.27]She pulled me out the gutter, said I wasn't hopeless
[02:32.77]Every night she prayed for me,
[02:33.94]I was out on the street
[02:35.22]Chilling on the corner with the hand on my heat
[02:37.57]Eyes open wide for the pigs and foes
[02:39.51]It's an everyday hazard when you hustle for dough
[02:40.76]So many nights
[02:41.88]I didn't come home, she thought the worst
[02:43.20]Maybe somebody shot me down without any remorse
[02:45.42]Maybe I hurt somebody and I was stuck in a cell
[02:50.00]Well, I regret all those times that
[02:52.67]I put her through hell
[02:54.91]When I reflect back on those days, my heart aches
[02:55.87]And everybody I lost or let down,
[02:56.99]I wish I could take it all back
[02:57.94]And make it better but I can't,
[02:59.19]so I try to make amends
[02:59.96]And be there through thick and thin
[03:01.13]Oh, the sky overhead is like a canvas of gray
[03:06.69]I don't know how much time
[03:09.73]I'll be given to stay
[03:11.85]From the first spring to light till the end of the day
[03:16.49]I'm just living my life till they come carry me away
[03:22.84]Come, carry me away
[03:29.94]Come, carry me away
[03:34.87]Come, carry me away
[03:39.94]Come, carry me away
