Carry On - D Smoke/Sha'leah Nikole.mp3

[00:00.70](Intro: D Smoke)
[00:02.08]Supa Good
[00:13.01]Yeah
[00:16.56](Verse 1: D Smoke)
[00:16.76]Picture me graduating, no validation needed
[00:19.23]I waited, now I finally live my truth
[00:21.94]Being true calibrated
[00:23.84]My calculations never amounted to my dreams, so what's the use?
[00:28.20]A quarter pound of baking soda, some flour, egg, and that power
[00:31.52]Heat the oven above two
[00:34.47]Thousand degrees, that fire's need to burn away all that extra
[00:37.47]Now I'm purging in my youth
[00:39.88]Certainly uncouth, since
[00:41.36]I ain't learned the rules, I never followed what the group did
[00:44.22]I ain't burned a bridge except the ones I wouldn't use, so
[00:47.13]If they still offended, hope they drop that weight and move
[00:49.95]I'm unruly, but I'm loyal
[00:52.59]God is faithful, that's on my soil
[00:54.87]That's on my mama, swear I always knew I'm royal
[00:57.88]But my crown don't fit my lock so I just made one out of foil, Supa Good
[01:01.68](Chorus: Sha'leah Nikole)
[01:02.19]It's a struggle every day, but there is a way out
[01:07.64]We may have to rumble, but when you leave the tunnel
[01:11.78]All you gotta do is carry on
[01:17.88]Just need to carry on
[01:23.06]And only bring enough to carry on
[01:29.52]Just need to carry on
[01:36.23](Verse 2: Tommy Sketch)
[01:39.47]Check our times of living at the motel off on Jefferson
[01:42.24]In twelfth, I'm at that shelf, waiting for my deposit
[01:44.72]I just gotta safely pull up out that parking lot garage and duck and dodge the law
[01:48.63]Cause my lil' car been riding flawed, no license, lying to my broad
[01:51.75]I'm passing Broadway, I'll be on my way soon
[01:54.03]Really in the rearview making sure my hairdo groomed
[01:57.32]Tommy told me, yo, we ain't got shit, but we the shit
[01:59.99]I often talk into my mirror, ain't got peers to reflect with
[02:03.08]I just get a little distressed with all the ifs
[02:06.00]And buts and problems thought by me that didn't exist
[02:08.44]But I think I would think until they splash when I blink
[02:11.47]Wiping until they red like the chapters I read
[02:14.34]Let us create the man in our likeness and see that it was good, but if it's true
[02:19.28]You tellin' me I can just lift my tongue and speak a different one? Here it come
[02:22.60]I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I live through the storm
[02:25.94]I know I could rise on broken legs and walk if I want
[02:28.90]I survive until I spot a light at the end of the tunnel
[02:31.86]I know I'm the one, I know that it's I
[02:34.28]Wipe my nose and my eyes, surprised the smile ain't recognized since a child
[02:38.10](Chorus: Sha'leah Nikole)
[02:38.25]It's a struggle every day, but there is a way out
[02:44.20]We may have to rumble, but when you leave the tunnel
[02:47.93]All you gotta do is carry on
[02:54.24]Just need to carry on
[02:59.43]And only bring enough to carry on
[03:06.29]Just need to carry on
