Akala – Carried Away Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- Another hearse roll up slow,
- Carry one more poor lost soul,
- Carry them things every single day
- Coz it makes him feel safe
- Coz he carry on them ways, screw face
- Love the game-reppin' his estate,
- Talk tough look straight in his face,
- Carrying deep pain self-hate,
- Carry fam, so he carry weight,
- It's logical daddy got carried away,
- Not married away, just didn't stay
- Coward carried his son to this fate,
- His boys carrying weight in a wooden box
- cant stand straight,
- They was getting outta the game,
- But look fate she don't wait
- Now the woman in the front row, her face
- t show no pain,
- But her brain went insane on the day the
- news came,
- Stare into space, face numb,
- The boy getting carried, she carried 9
- months
Chorus
- When this world strip me naked, I turn and
- I face it,
- And really believe I have the strength to
- change it,
- I'm crazy, it's blatant sometimes I get
- carried away
- When this world strip me naked, I turn and
- I face it,
- And really believe I have the strength to
- change it,
- I'm crazy, it's blatant sometimes I get
- carried away
Verse 2
- One more body bag getting carried back,
- From the war zone where they carry
- straps,
- Where little kids is attacking tanks coz
- they carry no fear of the man,
- All they know here is they land
- And a hero, gotta make a stand,
- So they roll cold with it in their hand,
- Let bang on the big bad man,
- But this particular soldier never move colder
- Never enrolled to blow no homes up
- Felt that life had carried him under
- Chose to phone the number
- The army gives you training,
- Nothing they say could really explain it,
- Sign them t papers, enslavement,
- Now you're a tool to carry their hatred,
- Rob, steal, strip a nation
- All he wanted was qualifications
- So he could carry his family places,
- Better than those that he was raised in
- Never really thought, he'd ever have to go
- to war,
- Now who's gonna tell his kids daddy can't
- carry them no more
Chorus
- When this world strip me naked, I turn and
- I face it,
- And really believe I have the strength to
- change it,
- I'm crazy, it's blatant sometimes I get
- carried away
- When this world strip me naked, I turn and
- I face it,
- And really believe I have the strength to
- change it,
- I'm crazy, it's blatant sometimes I get
- carried away
