lyrics

‘Carry On '23 ('Barry Bonds' FreetheStyleMIX)’

Verse:
If you a fan of NFE, then this what you've been waitin' for
I stepped back a bit, depletion hit my creative core
Know I took forever, but certainly worth the wait, I'm sure
Jewels from a GOAT, certainly worth my weight an' more
Mic in my palm, sights on the 'zon
That's horizon for all you tykes lookin' dumb
Index an' thumb L-shaped, wit' my tongue
Blowin' raspberries at you fools, cough a lung
An' pass a kidney stone, 'cause he dope wit' the shit he on
Reppin' that Nueve Cero Uno, –not one to throw pity on
Natural game like Deck, plus he's witty an' on
His shit, time to make the city known
{-} Years ago, mapped it out, thought my path was clean
Sure-shot to success, but the math was green
I was wet behind the ears, naive an' overeager
Fell for some bullshit 'cause my pockets are meager
{-} That was when I learned how cutthroat this industry
Can really be; {-} a nigga dreams got fricasseed
Thought it was all gravy, really blood in an' out
An' I ain't 'bout that life, so I hit that turnabout
Chose a different route, stress was out-and-out
Unbearable, {-} my hopes got shredded like sauerkraut
Lost faith in what I wrote, couldn't even recite it
Just burned up my mouth like the words were ignited
{-} Now I say a prayer over songs before I write 'em
Ask God to work on my mind, it's forces fightin'
Heart's full of spite, these wrongs I wanna right 'em
Gotta clear up low vibes an' get– my soul heightened
I be frightened, feelin' like a motherless child
Though I know Momz be prayin', got me under this shroud
I wanna be a star, but I'm still– one in the crowd
I love Hip-Hop like I love what I've done— yeah, I'm proud
Avowed that I'll never give up, gon' hold my own
Remain adamant; unmovable stone in a cyclone
Still writin' what you won't; tight, in my zone
If this ain't what you like, carry on...
