Carry On

Black and gay
I wonder if they'll ever claim us
HIV, I've got HIV, can I still be famous?
Will they wait 'til I'm dead to give me credit
These thoughts run through my head
I try to dead 'em and just bless God instead
I've been with the shits since 2012, my nigga
Made it out of personal hell, my nigga J-Lo, the cell
I figure this, life is but a gift
Let me clean my chakras so I can talk to you proper
Beware of false idols, poppin' off like they prophets
Profitin' from your pockets, that shit's not cute
That's just not you
The light inside is blinkin'
I know all these people thinkin' I'm about to show out
Clarity over clout
What's the point of being blessed if your head's a fucking mess?
Mama, cue the drama, kill the trauma
Say it like the Dali Lama
Be kind, be wise
Keep that mental temple simple
All truth no lies

Carry on and keep on givin' all
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and keep on to Xanadu
No chain, no lock, no leash
Carry on and keep on to Xanadu
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and I won't let you down
No chain, no lock, no leash

Deep sleep, the dreams I keep, dead of the night
Push me, I got to win, yo, I got to fight
For every little queer, every kid alone with fear
Every kid that's dressin' up and dressin' out, just being them
Seeing them on CNN, they spoutin' hate
This country blood was never really that fucking great
Black imprisonment, genocide, the Indian
Immigrant detention men, dope fiend these kids again
My life, young jet set and feminine
This is for my sisters, for my sisters, keep blessin' them
I look inside my soul, I ain't stressin', man
I know who I am, God bless them man

Give me your hand, I'll never let you go
Give me your hand, I'll never let you go

Carry on and keep on givin' all
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and keep on to Xanadu
No chain, no lock, no leash
Carry on and keep on to Xanadu
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and I won't let you down
No chain, no lock, no leash

No chain, no lock, no leash
Nobody gon' stop, step on my feet
Hands up, don't shoot, can't breathe
My people gon' rock, gon' win, gon' sing
No chain, no lock, no leash
Nobody gon' stop, step on my feet
Hands up, don't shoot, can't breathe
My people gon' rock, gon' win, gon' sing
No chain, no lock, no leash
Nobody gon' stop, step on my feet
Hands up, don't shoot, can't breathe
My people gon' rock, gon' win, gon' sing
No chain, no lock, no leash
Nobody gon' stop, step on my feet
Hands up, don't shoot, can't breathe
My people gon' rock, gon' win, gon' sing

Carry on and keep on givin' all
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and keep on to Xanadu
No chain, no lock, no leash
Carry on and keep on to Xanadu
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and I won't let you down
No chain, no lock, no leash

Carry on and keep on to Xanadu
Go on, don't give up
Carry on and I won't let you down
No chain, no lock, no leash
No chain, no lock, no leash
No chain, no lock, no leash
No chain, no lock, no leash
No chain, no lock, no leash
