Carry On

Black and gay, I wonder if they'll ever claim us
HIV, I've got HIV can I still be famous?
Will they wait 'til I'm dead to give me credit
These thoughts run through my head
I try to dead them and just bless God instead

I've been with the shits since 2012 my nigga
Made it out of personal hell, my nigga Jlo the cell
I figure this, life is but a gift
Let me clean my chakras, so I can talk to you proper

Beware of false idols, popping off like they prophets
Profiting from your pockets, that shit's not cute
That's just not you, the light inside is blinking
I know all these people thinking I'm about to show out

Clarity over clout what's the point of being blessed
If your head's a fucking mess
Mama, cue the drama, kill the trauma
Say it like the Dali lama, be kind, be wise
Keep that mental temple simple, all truth no lies

Carry on and keep on givin' all
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and keep what you wanna do
No chain, no lock, no leash

Carry on and keep on winging through
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and I won't let you down
No chain, no lock, no leash

Deep sleep, the dreams I keep, dead of the night
Push me, I got to win, yo, I got to fight
For every little queer, every kid alone with fear
Every kid that's dressing up and dressing out just being them

Seeing them on CNN they spouting hate
This country blood was never really that fucking great
Black imprisonment, genocide the Indian
Immigrant detention men, dope fiend these kids again

My life, young jet set and feminine
This is for my sisters for my sisters keep blessing them
I look inside my soul, I ain't stressing man
I know who I am, God bless them man

Give me your hand, I'll never let you go
Give me your hand, I'll never let you go

Carry on and keep on givin' all
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and keep what you wanna do
No chain, no lock, no leash

Carry on and keep on winging through
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and I won't let you down
No chain, no lock, no leash

No chain, no lock, no leash
Nobody gon' stop, step on my feet
Hands up don't shoot, can't breathe
My people gon' rock, gon' win, gon' sing
No chain, no lock, no leash
Nobody gon' stop, step on my feet
Hands up don't shoot, can't breathe
My people gon' rock, gon' win, gon' sing

No chain, no lock, no leash
Nobody gon' stop, step on my feet
Hands up don't shoot, can't breathe
My people gon' rock, gon' win, gon' sing
No chain, no lock, no leash
Nobody gon' stop, step on my feet
Hands up don't shoot, can't breathe
My people gon' rock, gon' win, gon' sing

Carry on and keep on givin' all
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and keep what you wanna do
No chain, no lock, no leash

Carry on and keep on winging through
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and I won't let you down
No chain, no lock, no leash

Carry on and keep on winging through
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and I won't let you down
No chain, no lock, no leash

No chain, no lock, no leash
No chain, no lock, no leash
No chain, no lock, no leash
No chain, no lock, no leash
