Alborosie, Sandy Smith - Carry On lyrics

To all the soldiers pon di battlefield
Every ghetto yute a major deal

Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard and play hard
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard, and play hard
Ohh carry on

Only di best is good enough inna
Dis world made of pest
The finest evah restless
Evah fighting for space
Wen mi take di podium dem a sabotage mi race
Inna that case I don't part
Take inna dem waste some people
Without di benefit's there
Ain't no friendship
When shit, hit's the fan
I know what the stench is
Some lay on benches, some lay expensive
I focus on my mission
Yes I know weh my strength is, hey
So what about taking a break
From all the animosity
And all this being fake
Pictures with a filter
Many like yuh filter face
They only see the surface but dem
Nah guh si di base

Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard and play hard
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard, and play hard
Ohh carry on

Well I don't chase nuh popularity
Di popular belief, was pupa nah guh be so
My message to all the ones who evah doubt me
You shoulda doubt yuhself before you doubt me
But people do bad things so
I couldn't be no bad
Dem frown if yuh win and if yuh fail dem glad
Ah god alone ah judge me
Suh mek dem be my god
And if dem feel like one then try
To stop the road i trod
There is no love inna di universe
People running from the loss
Di loss ah worse
People praise di book an neva mind the verse
That's why dem live dem
Lucky life under curse

Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard and play hard
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard, and play hard
Ohh carry on

Mi tell yuh only di best is good enough inna
Dis world made of pest
The finest evah restless
Evah fighting for space
Wen mi take di podium dem a sabotage mi race
Inna that case I don't part
Take inna dem dutty waste

Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard and play hard
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard, and play hard
Ohh carry on
