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.
And 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 freefall?
I never thought that I would have to stay so near to keep you near.
How would you like to stick with me?
And do you love to freefall?
I never thought that I would have to speak so loud for you to hear.
I need your loving,
And 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, 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 taps 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.
On every single part I play,
I`ll be so strong,
Hell, I won`t give up the fight.
Day and night,
Everyday,
I`ll carry on.
I`ll live my life on centre 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, carry on.
