Carry Me Away (feat. Mike Shinoda) [Explicit]

I was an outcast, outsider

Trouble-maker

A lost soul, outta control

In danger

Didn't have a care in the world

My feelings were numb

Never showing emotion

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 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[Chorus]

Oh, the sky overhead

Is like a canvas of gray

I dunno how much time

I'm beginnin' to save

From the first spring to light

To the end of the day

I'm just livin' my life

Till they come carry me awayI'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[Chorus]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 doe

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[Chorus]Come carry me away

Come carry me away

Come carry me away

Come carry me away
