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 want to 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 want to 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 want to 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.
