Carry On

I made more on the day that my album dropped than I did the whole of last year
And that's bragging rights but is bragging right when you still give in to your fear
See I've had a son and I've found a girl but still focusing on my woes
And I found that even though you might feel the cons your whole life is still about pros
And I've got ex's, so many ex's
So many stresses
So many times that I tried to fight but got broken down like it's Tetris
I was so determined to be a man that I lost myself and got desperate
And when Sam was born I got scared cos I know that kids become your reflections.
And the fact that I had no father figure, it turned me into this further figure.
I knew I had to make cash for him whether a CEO or a garden digger
And when I can't deliver, shit
That's like a punch to the heart
I never had much from the start but I still took risks in the way that I trusted my art
And that shit was hard, that shit was bleak
See I had no money to eat, but I still made sure he had socks on his feet.
Still made sure he had bottled to feed
And I'm not reaching for extra props
Cos it's my job to connect the dots
And now I can't live life with forget-me-nots
But he's gonna live right man I swear to god

Tryna do the right thing, right thing
Even though it's tiring, tiring
You'll never find me hiding, hiding
Ima carry on, and on, and on
Ima carry on, and on, and on
Ima carry on, and on, and on
Tryna do the right thing, yeah yeah
You'll never find me hiding, yeah yeah

Now I know what you're thinking
You got a daughter too and of course I do
But back then I was young hadn't thought it through
I just did what I could like I ought to do
But don't get it twisted, damn
I still love her the same
But I was 20 years old it was early days
I didn't think like this I was rarely fazed
And I was young back then
Plus I was in love had the help of her mum back then
Wasn't scared of the life that I run back then
Wasn't caught in a web that I spun back then
But it's different now, yeah
I'm seeing more distant now
I'm a single parent that shit gets tough
So I gotta seek out some wisdom now, cus now
I got two little younglings
So I need to offer them something
They look to me to guide them so no matter what now I gotta keep fronting
Gotta hold it together
True say ima hold it forever
Ima make sure they stay good like a real man should
Ima make it better

Tryna do the right thing, right thing
Even though it's tiring, tiring
You'll never find me hiding, hiding
Ima carry on, and on, and on
Ima carry on, and on, and on
Ima carry on, and on, and on
Tryna do the right thing, yeah yeah
You'll never find me hiding, yeah yeah

You'll never find me hiding
Even though it's tiring

Tryna do the right thing, right thing
Even though it's tiring, tiring
You'll never find me hiding, hiding
Ima carry on, and on, and on
Ima carry on, and on, and on
Ima carry on, and on, and on
Tryna do the right thing, yeah yeah
You'll never find me hiding, yeah yeah
