Carry On

[Verse 1: Guvna B] On the 18th of July 2017 3AM I was asleep, wifey intervened And said "Your brother’s on the phone, wake up" I took the iPhone, hi bro, I beg you say something This don’t feel right so He told me Daddy’s on life support Doctors are saying we need to come in I hung up and starting rushing Wifey wanted to come but I told her stay behind Didn’t wanna believe that anything could happen to my favourite guy But she came anyway, typical, always by my side, it’s reciprocal She rides when it’s difficult Jumped in the whip, put the keys in A13 and I’m speeding praying without ceasing And then I pull up to the hospital My brother’s on his feet but my mum she’s on her knees I hope the doctors haven’t dropped the ball Cos if he dies it’s like she’s lost it all And then I pulled up to his bedside And I saw him wired up I swear my faith got fired up I said "Lord you’re higher up Help my Daddy rise up And fight tough" But he didn’t, times up They say the Lord knows best, how Because I’ve never felt so let down Ay yo my Daddy was a good guy And even though we had good times I couldn’t even say goodbye [Hook: Samm Henshaw] Carry on I’m losing patience, I’ll still carry on Nobody told me it would take this long Questioned my faith and where my pain belongs But maybe pain ain’t wrong [Verse 2: Guvna B] I know pain is pain We all feel it in different ways When my Pops passed away That really tested my faith like What about the grace like Lord knows I prayed life How come he never came through Before the graveside? Now I’m at the gravesite sad Thinking bout all of the memories we had Like when I first got sponsored by Adidas we were the same size So I used to give you all the trainers I didn't like Your favourites were the Stan Smiths And man it hurts that you’ll never meet you grandkids You deserve to see your last name expanding When I was younger you would put up with my antics But I turned out fine, so did Joel And I know earth was never your home, it’s just a hotel When God checked you out it was more than just a oh well Cos you gave the fam big wins you didn’t hold L’s The day you never went to work, that's a cold hell Huffing up and down the field, you were our Odell Whenever I flew out for shows you told me go well Forever grateful, and I thought I was forever faithful I can’t lie I been struggling like I was never able So God if you are, help me recover, help my mum stop crying, help my wifey, help my brother [Hook: Samm Henshaw] Carry on I’m losing patience, I’ll still carry on Nobody told me it would take this long Questioned my faith and where my pain belongs But maybe pain ain’t wrong [Verse 3: Guvna B] I remember back day when you told me "Tidy your room" You was popping to shop but you said you’d be back soon As soon as you left feet up I was watching the cartoons Time of my life till you got back, bout half 2 I ran to my room started scrambling You was coming up the stairs feet stamping Burst through the door I saw your face you weren’t ramping I started making up excuses I was rambling [Outro: Guvna B] Then you did your cheeky little grin, then you burst out laughing Felt like you wanted to be angry but you just couldn't help it Then you walked over to my bed, sat down and then called me over I thought I was about to get the belt or something but you just sat me in your lap You took my hand, and put it in the air Then you said, "Son, never be lazy. Hands are made for working."
