Lyrics D Smoke – Carry On

D Smoke:
Supa Good
Yeah
Picture me graduating, no validation needed
I waited, now I finally live my truth
Being true calibrated
My calculations never amounted to my dreams, so what’s the use?
A quarter pound of baking soda, some flour, egg, and that power
Heat the oven above two
Thousand degrees, that fire’s need to burn away all that extra
Now I’m purging in my youth
Certainly uncouth, since
I ain’t learned the rules, I never followed what the group did
I ain’t burned a bridge except the ones I wouldn’t use, so
If they still offended, hope they drop that weight and move
I’m unruly, but I’m loyal
God is faithful, that’s on my soil
That’s on my mama, swear I always knew I’m royal
But my crown don’t fit my lock so I just made one out of foil, Supa Good
Being true calibrated
My calculations never amounted to my dreams, so what’s the use?
A quarter pound of baking soda, some flour, egg, and that power
Heat the oven above two
Thousand degrees, that fire’s need to burn away all that extra
Now I’m purging in my youth
Certainly uncouth, since
I ain’t learned the rules, I never followed what the group did
I ain’t burned a bridge except the ones I wouldn’t use, so
If they still offended, hope they drop that weight and move
I’m unruly, but I’m loyal
God is faithful, that’s on my soil
That’s on my mama, swear I always knew I’m royal
But my crown don’t fit my lock so I just made one out of foil, Supa Good
Sha’leah Nikole:
It’s a struggle every day, but there is a way out
We may have to rumble, but when you leave the tunnel
All you gotta do is carry on
Just need to carry on
And only bring enough to carry on
Just need to carry on
Tommy Sketch:
Check our times of living at the motel off on Jefferson
In twelfth, I’m at that shelf, waiting for my deposit
I just gotta safely pull up out that parking lot garage and duck and dodge the law
‘Cause my lil’ car been riding flawed, no license, lying to my broad
I’m passing Broadway, I’ll be on my way soon
Really in the rearview making sure my hairdo groomed
Tommy told me, yo, we ain’t got shit, but we the shit
I often talk into my mirror, ain’t got peers to reflect with
I just get a little distressed with all the ifs
And buts and problems thought by me that didn’t exist
But I think I would think until they splash when I blink
Wiping until they red like the chapters I read
Let us create the man in our likeness and see that it was good, but if it’s true
You tellin’ me I can just lift my tongue and speak a different one? Here it come
I’m beautiful, I’m beautiful, I live through the storm
I know I could rise on broken legs and walk if I want
I survive until I spot a light at the end of the tunnel
I know I’m the one, I know that it’s I
Wipe my nose and my eyes, surprised the smile ain’t recognized since a child
I’m passing Broadway, I’ll be on my way soon
Really in the rearview making sure my hairdo groomed
Tommy told me, yo, we ain’t got shit, but we the shit
I often talk into my mirror, ain’t got peers to reflect with
I just get a little distressed with all the ifs
And buts and problems thought by me that didn’t exist
But I think I would think until they splash when I blink
Wiping until they red like the chapters I read
Let us create the man in our likeness and see that it was good, but if it’s true
You tellin’ me I can just lift my tongue and speak a different one? Here it come
I’m beautiful, I’m beautiful, I live through the storm
I know I could rise on broken legs and walk if I want
I survive until I spot a light at the end of the tunnel
I know I’m the one, I know that it’s I
Wipe my nose and my eyes, surprised the smile ain’t recognized since a child
