Cypress Hill - Carry Me Away Lyrics






[24 seconds instrumental]

[B-Real + (Mike Shinoda):]
I was an outcast, outsider. - Trouble maker;
A lost soul! - Outta control in danger.
Didn't have a care in the world, my feeling were numb
Never showing emotion, it's 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! " [echoes] Certified street soldier!
So close to the grave, [echoes] (Oh!)
You at an early age, can't tell you the price I've paid!

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Oh the sky overhead, it's like - a canvas of grey.
I don't know how much time I'll be given to stay.
From the first spring of light, 'til the end of the day
I'm just livin' my life, 'til they come carry me away!

[Sen Dog + (Mike Shinoda):]
I'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. [echoes]
"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. [echoes]
Six of us, one call, we'd all pack in
Hit the strip, and go and get the shit crack in!
Gun wars, and drug deals, I seen 'em happen.
When I started losin' homeboys, I wasn't laughin'! [echoes]
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 (Oh!)
And I wasn't gonna let this happen one more time!

[Chorus]

[B-Real:]
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 dough!
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 time 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]

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]
Come carry me away!
Come carry me away!
Come carry me away!
Come carry me away!

    +GAVEDU who gives a fuck if you WERE a "FAG" anyways.
    You feel the song, thats what matters,.
    THAT means this is a VERY well written tune.
    If someone doesnt feel from this,
    they either cannot listen or READ lyrics...
    or they are just heartless.

    Miss this type of music just oldschool shit! Those were the years

    s.... c....

    I did not say about the song, its the type of music.

    s.... c....

    Well I wouldn't consider it old school personally but fair enough

    s.... c....

    @sean creedon i get what you're saying. may be newer sound but cypress hill will always have the old school feel to it

    s.... c....

    It has that oldschool vibe, there was no point replying to the original comment at all.

    s.... c....

    Clever69 It sounds old School, like the '90s/early 2000s sound, when music was good.

  42. i.... ....

    this is fucking awesome)

  43. J.... D....

    Mike Shinoda Rocker

  44. x.... J....

    Impossible d'écouter ce chef d'oeuvre sans avoir des frissons dans tout le corps *.*

  45. B.... ....

    Mike Shinoda <3

  46. m.... ....

    It's nice to hear Mike Shinoda sing, i was expecting a rap verse but Mike has a beautiful singing voice in my opinion. It's not great but it's special for me. 

    m.... ....

    I completely agree, I'm a massive Linkin Park fan, so I'm used to him rapping. This took me by surprise.

    m.... ....

    @Danny Bishop Well, you can hear Mike sing on every live show, since 2000, back then it was only second voice, now he got more space for his great voice.

    m.... ....

    mt2oo8 your not great.
    But ur special 2 me.
    #ifyaknowwutimean ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°

    m.... ....

    @Red-Rook love 2 u

  47. S.... S....

    saves the song? whats there to save, the song is dope. Dope as fuck. a song with heart.

  48. j.... ....

    stop it guys...bouth are great in their own way :)

  49. G.... G....

    Both groups are dope. Deal with it.

  50. J.... ....

    Shinoda, what ever you can say about him, is a fucking genius of the music (i'm not talking about LP here). He's not sticking to the same fucking style, he master many genre and that's what make difference between him and CH.

    J.... ....

    JoSeVeNJo yes the beats he makes with Linkin Park and othrr artist like Lupe Fiasco album on the song The Instrusmental Shinoda is a genius with the music and beat making.

  51. C.... ....

    you guys look retarded fighting about who's better between Cypress Hill and Mike Shinoda. It's a collaboration you dumbnuts not a competition

  52. b.... ....

    end your self with fire

  53. D.... E....

    not even close dude.. not even close

  54. c.... ....

    mike shinoda good in every features

  55. T.... ....

    Youtube beef

  56. R.... B....

    One, that was pretty low. Two, if you reread his comment, you would see that he isn't saying Linkin Park is gay, but rather calling Justin Bieber and One Direction gay. Which is a petty insult anyways.

  57. J.... V....

    linkin park is gay as fuck!? WTF? do you know justin bieber or one direction?

  58. M.... ....

    what the fuck means "Chillin' on the corner with the hand on my heat!" ???

  59. T.... ....

    LOL you LP fanboy. Jay Z wrote some lyrics of Shinoda for Fort Minor. Please SHUT THE FUCK UP. Cyprus Hill>>>>Fort Minor.

    T.... ....

    Actually, he produced his album. Didnt write 'em lyrics tho.

  60. C.... B....

    clearly

  61. S.... ....

    He didn't rap :'(

  62. m.... ....

    Wowowow dude, Cypress HIll are legends of hip hop from my childhood. Fort Minor are awesome, but Cypress Hill wins. Admit it.

  63. D.... ....

    That comment.. Was incredibly unintelligent... Your caps lock is broke, bro.. Your respect for music and the artists, that seems to be broken too...

  64. c.... t....

    fuck you and your comments

  65. T.... K....

    He produced this album and did the best for this song. So no not just chorus lol

  66. S.... G....

    Luv cypress hill

  67. l.... ....

    bitch please, mike shinoda saves this song

  68. U.... ....

    Elitists are the cancer of the music world.

  69. w.... h....

    dope classic hip hop wish songs were this way to date realest

  70. J.... ....

    Can't you just enjoy the final product and stfu? Tanx :)

  71. G.... M....

    Bro. Just gimme ur adress, cuz I WANNA KILL U RIGHT NOW. This music is one of yhe greatest ones JUST because it had MIKE SHINODA!

  72. B.... ....

    Yeah.. one of the most talented musicians and lyricists alive.. how low can you stoop

  73. N.... ....

    i was about to say something but you guys already told this hater to educate himself :)

  74. J.... G....

    this song brings back so many memories

  75. B.... ....

    Mike Shinoda=Rapper/Singer/Guitarist and Keyboardist

  76. L.... p....

    He's an elitist dude....The world is infested with them....You know the kind of people who hate on everything thats popular because they think it makes them cool....

  77. m.... c....

    mike shinoda is Asian that why west side wants broke rap than meaningful music asian rap have full of meaning

  78. T.... ....

    mike shinoda is a great musician.

  79. R.... ....

    This track is bad ass.

  80. k.... ....

    Woo hoo mike freaken shinoda!

  81. L.... W....

    Well said. Mike is extremely talented. I've been a fan of his for years, and while i may not like everything he does, I cannot deny that he never ceases to amaze.

  82. K.... S....

    ''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...''
    Man, best part ever...

  83. T.... ....

    dude.... you should really check out his "solo" album... its called 'The Rising Tied' btw.. and just because he is in a popular band doesn't make him mainstream or a bad musician. Mike Shinoda is f*ckin' talented.

  84. c.... ....

    People like you are the reason he did not put his name on his fort minor project. Mike Shinoda should split from LP as they don't do him justice, he is too talented for them and they know it. Why do you think they only have him produce shit nowadays? Answer: He is way too talented on the mic and can literally take an entire song over like he did in Hands Held High. Sorry but you need to read his lyrics, and see what he listens to.

  85. s.... ....

    He's a decent lyricist and producer, hence why he's worked with Cypress, Demigodz, Styles of Beyond, Jay Z etc

  86. L.... ....

    Perfect Mike Shinoda :)

  87. D.... ....

    People can whine about this, but I reckon Shinoda's a credible rapper. Cypress Hill have always flirted with mainstream rock fandom, so no-one here can talk about credibility.Regardless whether you like Linkin Park or not, he's a great rapper with a respect and understanding of hip-hop. For instance, check out the Fort Minor album, and of course, "It's Going Down". An extremely underrated song with near-perfect flow and great lyrics. And of course, he can sing & play. Get off the damn bandwagon.

  88. G.... H....

    WTF DO YOU MEAN, MIKE IS VERY TALENTED!!!

  89. m.... ....

    "Yes i agree cant even believe it" Shut the fuck up with your bullshit and get a fuckin job...

  90. y.... ....
