Carry On
Steady Mobb'n Lyrics

9 months, 10 days, 60 minutes of pain
Talking about the duration of birth.

Moma opened up, screamed my name
Being born and the mother's cry of joy after delivery.

Pictured her son in the game
Mother's hope of him succeeding in life.

Many nights, I didn't know if I'd see another meal
Reflecting on times of poverty and not having enough to eat.

But you did what you had to do, always keeping it real
Acknowledging his mother's hard work and integrity.

Pops was locked up for hustlin, but he gave he can
Father's imprisonment for illegal activities and reputation for being helpful.

So I respect the fact, he raised a boy to a man
Appreciating his father's role in his upbringing despite his mistakes.

Now you gone, god sent death to ya tonite
His mother passed away and he believes it was God's plan.

I hope the angels lead the way, guide you straight to the light
Wishing his mother eternal peace and happiness in heaven.

Life's got your boy hatin and all but there's nothin I can do
Negative emotions due to difficult life experiences, but feeling helpless about it.

If I could, I'd glady trade my life in for yours
Expressing a desire to trade his life for his mother's.

Takin it like a soulja, and I'm going to war
Fighting through the emotional pain and hardship like a soldier.

You haven't made a return since you left, i've been so all alone
Feeling alone and missing his mother's presence.

Tell me mamma, how ya baby boy supposed to move on
Questioning how he is supposed to continue living without his mother.

My life's been different since my moma's gone
Repeating the impact of his mother's death.

Even though I had a brother and a sister
Acknowledging the presence of his siblings.

You met my pops and made him your mister
Talking about his mother starting a relationship with his father.

Now I'm all alone, two kids foster grown
Feeling alone and responsible for his children.

Fuck you in stress you brought less
Feeling negative towards his mother for bringing stress into his life.

And smiled on us, 3 sins without forgiveness
Feeling like his mother committed unforgivable sins and put them through tough times despite being happy.

That's why I get high, this love affair between you and i
Using drugs to cope with the emotions he feels for his mother.

And I hope god takes the breath out of me,
Praying for death to join his mother.

If that even crosses my mind,
Aware of the seriousness of his previously mentioned prayer.

And in time, I know you gonna leave me,
Accepting the inevitability of his own death.

That's why until then, your in my psalm 27 dash one,
Referencing the biblical verse about the Lord being the light in the darkness and his mother being his guiding light.

Dear momma, forgive me I'm a ghetto child
Begining a heartfelt letter to his mother apologizing.

I'm tryin to slow down, I'm living foul and wild
Acknowledging his own past mistakes and current efforts to improve his lifestyle.

I know you looking at me from the sky
Believing his mother is watching over him from heaven.

I think about you everytime I'm high,
Thinking about his mother when he's feeling emotional of high.

They say a nigga tell the truth when he high
Saying how he really feels under the influence of drugs.

Where I'm a go when I die? god forgive me,
Questioning where he will go after death and asking for forgiveness from God.

For my stress, my momma left,
Feeling like his mother's absence is the source of his troubles.

My poppa wasn't there for me
Reflecting on his father's absence in his life.

So I kicked it with my homies,
Finding comfort in his friends' company.

But you still in my heart since the day one
Regardless of his friends' support his mother has always been with him.

Cuz I'm still your son, and I know where I came from
Acknowledging his mother's eternal influence on him and his roots.

Dear lord help me be strong, so I can carry on
Praying to God for strength to keep going despite his struggles.

I'd like to change since you've been gone
Wanting to make positive changes in his life since the passing of his mother.

How will i, how will I carry on
Asking herself how she will continue living without her mother around.
