Carry Me Away Lyrics

[feat. Mike Shinoda]

[B-Real]

I was an outcast, outsider, 
trouble maker

A lost soul, outta control,
in danger

Didn't have a care in the world
, my feeling were numb

Never showing emotion
i 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 a void

I needed another path or I'd self destruct

I was down on my luck, 
my head was so fucked
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, you at an early age
Can't tell you the price I've paid



[Mike Shinoda - Chorus]

Oh, the sky overhead is like a canvas of grey

I dunno how much time 
I'll be given to stay
From the first break of light 
to the end of the day

I'm just livin' my life
 'till they come carry me away



[Sen Dog]

I've been there in LA nights
 in the block where I came up

My pops used to hate
 when we hanged with them bangers

Guess he knew 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 ground
 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 shit crackin'

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 lived or die,
 we'll just get high and ride

And I wasn't gonna let this happen one more time



[Chorus]



[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 every day 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

Well I regret all those time 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



[Chorus]



Come carry me away

Come carry me away

Come carry me away

Come carry me away
