Anderson .Paak - The Season / Carry Me lyrics

My faith is buried somewhere
Underneath the town (Until it’s paid for)
Strawberry season
My sweetheart is coming ‘round
(I hear it rain and pour)
How did you find me here?
It must be perfect timing (Forever grateful)
If I didn’t love you then
I damn sure love you now
(Fruit of your labor)

Say, ain’t shit change but
The bank statements
Spent the summer in the wave
With the beach babies
Threw your chula in the buggie
With the top down up the PCH
I’m heading north, I hope it doesn't rain
Went from playing community ball to
Balling with the majors
(Oh, what, you major?)
Yeah, nigga, I ran bases, pitch flame
I call plays, remove labels and fuck fame
That killed all my favorite entertainers
(Nothing short of amazing, ooh, yeah)
But I’m short on my patience
Say, I don’t play that shit
I don’t ever forget
And don’t forget that dot, nigga
You paid for it
I spent years being called out my name
Living under my greatness
But what don’t kill me is motivation

My faith is buried somewhere
Underneath the town (Until it’s paid for)
Strawberry season
My sweetheart is coming ‘round
(I hear it rain and pour)
How did you find me here?
It must be perfect timing (Forever grateful)
If I didn’t love you then
I damn sure love you now
(Fruit of your labor)



Yeah, say, yeah

Six years old
I tried my first pair of Jordans on
("Momma, can you carry me?")
It was late in the fall
I caught a glimpse of my first love, my God
("Momma, can you carry me?")
Knees hit the floor, screams to the Lord
Why they had to take my ma?
("Momma, carry me?") to the early morn'
("Momma, can you carry me?")
To the early morning
("Momma, can you carry me?")

Hey, hey hey gather round, hustlers
That's if ya still livin'
And get on down before the
Judge give the sentence
A few more rounds before the
Feds come and get you
Is you gon' smile when your date gets issued?
You know them feds taking pictures
Your mom’s in prison
Your father need a new kidney
You family’s splitting
Rivalries between siblings
If cash ain’t king
It's damn sure the incentive
And good riddance

"Is the element of danger an important factor
For the members of your peer group?"
"Yes, you might say that why don’t you give
It a try and find out for yourself?"

'Bout the year Drizzy and Cole dropped
Before KDot had it locked
I was sleeping on the floor, newborn baby boy
Tryna get my money pot so
Wifey wouldn’t get deported
Cursing the heavens, falling out of orbit
Tryna roll this seven, tryna up my portion
What about your goals? What
About your leverage?
So they don’t force you into some hole
What’s the meaning of my fortune reading?
When I crack the cookie
All it said was "keep dreaming"
When I look at my tree, I see leaves missing
Generations of harsh living and addiction
I came to visit during the seven-year stint
But they wouldn’t let me in
Because my license suspended
Now I’m scraping the pennies just to
Kiss you on your cheek
It’s gonna be a couple weeks before I get it
I know you miss me

Six years old
I tried my first pair of Jordans on
(Momma, can you carry me?)
It was late in the fall
I caught a glimpse of my first love, my God
(Momma, can you carry me?)
Knees hit the floor, screams to the Lord
Why they had to take my ma? (Momma, carry me)
To the early morn' (Momma, can you carry me?)
To the early morning
(Momma, can you carry me?)

(Momma, can you carry me?)
(Momma, can you carry me?)
(Momma, can you carry me?)
(Momma, can you carry me?)

Yeah, oh, oh, oh and one of these is my rise
One of these is my downfall
And I’m the one to make it right
I wanna make it right, momma
And one of these is my rise
One of these is my downfall
And I’m the one to make it right
I wanna make it right, momma
I wanna make it right

(Momma, can you carry me?)
To the early morning
(Momma, can you carry me?)
To the early morning
(Momma, can you carry me?) oh, lord
(Momma, can you carry me?)
(Momma, can you carry me?)
(Momma, can you carry me?)
(Momma, can you carry me?)
(Momma, can you carry me?)

I, uh, see here they call you a masochist
I like pain can you be specific? What kind
Of pain do you like? Any kind of pain
