Carry On
The J.B.'s Reunion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to make sense of all my thoughts I come across along the way
Wisdom passed down from the sages
Making imprints on my character that turned me into who I am today
I know that I won’t be satisfied with average, na
All I know is how to carry on and I will
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Picking up the pieces as we go
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
You haven’t lost until you want to go
Let me take you on a ride like the state fair
The game is so childish I could run my own daycare
Leave my mistakes here
Accept them as lessons
Tryna rise in a world
Where everybody don’t play fair
And yes ima stay here as I search for the right sound
I’m better overall so they tell me to pipe down
Like Mario
It’s scary though
I won’t put the mic down
My character’s carried in every word that I write down
I know that I won’t be satisfied with average, na
All I know is how to carry on and I will
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Picking up the pieces as we go
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
You haven't lost until you want to go
I mean I never know what to do in these parts, so maybe like somethin' simple like aye, aye
Da, da da da dadada da
Da, da da dada da
Da, da da da dadada da
Da, da da da dadada da
Da, da da da dadada da
Da, da da dada da
I will
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Picking up the pieces as we go
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
You haven’t lost until you want to go

If life's little downs they keep coming around
When you face constant small obstacles in life
Carry on, carry on
Persist and keep moving forward
With darkness all about, you want to scream and shout
During difficult times, you may feel like giving up
Don't cry baby, look at where you've been

Support from others can help you carry on
Please, please, please, if you're down on your knees
An urgent plea for resilience when facing challenges
Your head is full of doubt, you can't figure it out
Feeling lost and uncertain in a situation
Between the time it takes to make all those mistakes
Mistakes can delay progress
It don't matter what you say or do
Regardless of the situation, you must keep going
It just seems to work out if you want it to
Positive attitude and determination can lead to success
Let out all the slack, take it off your back
Relax and let go of unnecessary stress
Let me bend your ear, never shed a tear
