Carried Away
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Sung sample:] Carried away… (scratched and repeated)
[Double K:] (Ha ha)
Welcome to the other side of SPs plugged in, that's how we get live
Word to '95, when niggas was on the block (What up, man?)
Doing the cosmic slop, anything to get herb
Saying "we done"? That's absurd!
It's more than making the beat, it's more than rapping
It's more than getting drunk and seeing all the party folks clapping
For real, what we doing saved a lot of brothers' lives
Including my own, in eleven years, you watched us grow
So to you, I tip the L.A. fitted, we still get it
Like an outfielder, we stood the test of time
Been in both hemispheres with passports and a rhyme
And anything non-funky gets left behind
Our time to shine is here, let me make that clear
All of y'all can stop, pass the wheel, and we'll steer
Not a weekend fling or some silly pastime
Shit, I live this every day, I'm gettin carried away (hah!)
[Sung sample:] I wanna get carried away! (Carried away…)
[Sung sample:] I wanna get carried away! (Carried away…)
[Sung sample:] I wanna get carried away! (Carried away…)
[Sung sample:] I wanna get carried away!…
[Thes One:]
How we used to say, "it's all good," right?
It's like the late-night music, with your favorite
Seeing daylight rise on a cold morning, slap in the face
Like a life lost with no warning, you're never ready
So many friends gone, some alive, most drift
Like a leaf in a strong breeze, catch a lift on the memories you uplift
The good times were a gift, even enemies seemed to have a purpose
Life defined by the contrast of long-last journey
You play 'em off now, Bernie, when I drink that, I think back
Try not to get jaded, soul laughter, like the first time faded
If you quit, now you let down the kids, the fresh sound
Amidst all this despair, economy, and hate now
I need it more than ever, that's what Biz told me
Thes One and Double K, like Muno and Broby
We came to break it down, climb back inside the radio
Picked up by the DJ and carried away, so…
[Sung sample:] I wanna get carried away! (Carried away…)
[Sung sample:] I wanna get carried away! (Carried away…)
[Sung sample:] I wanna get carried away! (Carried away…)
[Sung sample:] I wanna get carried away! (Carried away…)
[Sung sample:] I wanna get carried away! (Carried away…)
[Sung sample:] I wanna get carried away! (scratched and repeated)
