Cappah - Carry On, Just Existing lyrics

Part 1 [Carry on] [Verse 1] This is for my brothers, waiting on the first, wallets hurt Feeling worthless cause all your dollars is spent Reaching in ya pockets, eye falling out ya sockets Showing hoover flags, mad all you got is some lint You need a way to vent, debt stacked, bills backed up Ya girl packed up, now ya tryna get bent Living in the hood, robberies sounding good You might have kids, cause s** may relieve the stress You feeling vexed, but never step out, without your vest Cause the tech'll wreck your brain, put your frame to the test So now you move weight, lawyers won't look you in the face May be heading upstate, you want an escape I can relate, we need a break [Hook] Is that anyway, for a man to carry on? When I wasn't making much money x2 [Verse 2] The rich'll burst our bubble, they don't understand the struggle All ya family members huddled, we survivors in this jungle Rats drinking from puddles, n***as scuttle, face stubbled Ashy knuckles, looking like they slept under some rubble Living life, don't care about the wrong or the right We coping white, standing guard while ya wife sleep at night No goons under this moon, only Buffalo soldiers Who wanna be stock holders, schools got us filling quotas Wallstreet employees on the edge of they seat We want change, let em hear the clamor of our angry feet Presidential speech cause he feeling the heat It's evident, the residents want this n***a impeached But we stay distracted, we all zombies in the system Older folks hate us cause they think we don't hear they wisdom But it's hard to listen, when I'm stuck in the grind Wish I had some older heads here to keep me inline [Hook] [Scratched Outro] Part 2 [Just Existing] [Intro] Yo this beat in my chest, got God breaking his neck, that's word.. [Verse 1] Yo I, dine with peasants and I walk with kings, I notice things A bit more perceptive than most, my actions, no matter how small Effected the flow, the cycle of life, I found a bird who lost its flight Stayed and protected it from felines in sight, thought I did a good thing Until the next night, the starving cat k**ed over and that bird still died Now I understood those sad eyes, gazing with contempt All his energy spent, almost asking me why Now quantum leap into to this stronghold, where the strong survive Where deprived brothers, who stay empty inside Serve work to walking dead fiends, just to get by And those boys with those sirenes, come rolling by Arrest them both, and now you just gave rise To a guy who's a bit more violent, a bit more hungry He k**ed for that old n***a spot, now sh** is hot Making a, harder life for us in the city While he ride to his suburbs with his wife that's pretty And his good kids, a nice nuclear family Engineered by splitting our atoms, damn I can't fathom [Hook] Cause they still building bombs, still building more prisons Swear life as it is ain't living, just existing And they still building bombs, still building more prisons Swear life as it is ain't living, just existing And they still building bombs, still building more prisons Swear life as it is ain't living, just existing And they still building bombs, still building more prisons Swear life as it is ain't living, just existing [Verse 2] Inhale the silence then I listen My mission from surviving to thriving, when I fill the composition My competition wishing things are different, most of them no longer living Survival is a nasty business, k**ers awaiting the arrival of a key witness Slugs rip the car door now the case dismissed Judges with grudges being blackmailed by the government Got smudges on his own past, still he throw that book fast That prostitute he strangled got my n***a iron bangles We dig a little deeper we can see how far his shame goes Prisons on stock markets, my generation is cattle We are to TV like a hungry baby to a rattle Some n***as babble, with me, it's slang that's spoken But there's a difference between Ebonics and English that's broken Some new emcees got me hoping, if the beast should eat me I pray to god y'all don't start choking [Hook] Cause they still building bombs, still building more prisons Swear life as it is ain't living, just existing And they still building bombs, still building more prisons Swear life as it is ain't living, just existing And they still building bombs, still building more prisons Swear life as it is ain't living, just existing And they still building bombs, still building more prisons Swear life as it is ain't living, just existing Just existing... We just existing... Goddamn just existing.....
