Carry Me Away Lyrics - Rise Up - Cypress Hill

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, it's 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 ploy 

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

Oh the sky overhead, it's like a canvas of grey 

I don't know how much time I'll be given to stay 

From the first spring to light 'til the end of the day 

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

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' homeboys, 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

Oh the sky overhead, it's like a canvas of grey 

I don't know how much time I'll be given to stay 

From the first spring to light 'til the end of the day 

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

My mother would stand for me every step of the way 

She did not 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 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 

Oh the sky overhead, it's like a canvas of grey 

I don't know how much time I'll be given to stay 

From the first spring to light 'til the end of the day 

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

Come carry me away 

Come carry me away 

Come carry me away 

Come carry me away
