Lyrics Cypress Hill feat. Mike Shinoda - Carry Me Away

[B-Real]
I was an outcast, outsider,
Troublemaker,
A lost soul, outta control,
In danger
Didn’t have a care in the world
My feelings were numb
Never showing emotion
Is easy for some
I don’t know how it happened,
How I got to this point
But I needed a way out
I was stuck in the void,
I needed another path or I’d self-destruct,
I was down on my luck
My head was so f*cked
A menace rollin’ the streets is what I was
Holdin’ my heat and rollin’ with the serious thugs
You couldn’t tell me a thing,
I was like my brother,
Words went in one ear and out the other,
Slangin’ and bangin’
With a chip on my shoulder
An insane, hit the brain,
Certified street soldier
So close to the grave
At an early age,
Can’t tell you the price I’ve paid

[Mike Shinoda - Chorus]

Oh the sky overhead’s
Like a canvas of grey
I don’t know how much time,
I’ll be given to stay
From the first break of light
Till the end of the day
I’m just livin’ my life
Till they come carry me away

[Sen Dog]

I remember the late nights
On the block where I came up
My pops used to hate
When we’d hang with them bangers
Dissin’ you, one day that we’ll become us
That’s just how it is when you live where we come from
“Fight, don’t run”
Is the motto we live by
Get ‘em on the gun
And stomp a mind about ten times
Sure, we was just kids back then
I had no remorse for what we did back then
Six of us, one call, we’d all pack in
Hit the strip, and go and get the sh*t crack in
Gun wars, and drug deals, I seen ‘em happen
When I started losin’ home boys I wasn’t laughin’
I looked all around and seen,
None of ‘em there
That’s when I figured out,
That nobody cared
If we live or die,
We’ll just get high and ride,
And I wasn’t gonna let this happen one more time

[Mike Shinoda - Chorus]

Oh the sky overhead’s
Like a canvas of grey
I don’t know how much time,
I’ll be given to stay
From the first break of light
Till the end of the day
I’m just livin’ my life
Till they come carry me away

[B-Real]

My mother was there for me
Every step of the way
She didn’t judge me,
She told me I’d win some day
When I was at my lowest,
When I had no focus
She pulled me out the gutter,
Said I wasn’t hopeless,
Every night she prayed for me
I was out on the street
Chillin’ on the corner with the hand on my heat
Eyes open wide for the pigs and foes
It’s an everyday hazard when you hustle for dough
So many nights I didn’t come home,
She thought the worst
Maybe somebody shot me down
Without any remorse,
Maybe I hurt somebody and I was stuck in a cell
And I regret all those times that I put her through hell
When I reflect back on those days, my heart aches
And everybody I lost or let down,
I wish I could take it all back
And make it better but I can’t,
So I try to make amends
And be there through thick and thin

[Mike Shinoda - Chorus]

Oh the sky overhead’s
Like a canvas of grey
I don’t know how much time,
I’ll be given to stay
From the first break of light
Till the end of the day
I’m just livin’ my life
Till they come carry me away
Come carry me away
Come carry me away
Come carry me away
Come carry me away

[End]
