Carry On Tradition Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Yeah, niggas want to
talk about this rap shit
Niggas want to talk about
[G]this money[Am]
About these cars, these homes
[G]These la [Am]bels,[G] cloth[F]es[Em],
[F]sneakers, [Am]big money shit[Em]
[F]Now eve[Em]rybody tryin' to get[F] rich
[Am]Now get [G]rich niggas, fuck it

[Verse 2]
Some rap pion[Am]eers,
be them crackheads
When they speak, you see missin' teeth,
silver chain with a [G]silver piece
[Am]Niggas your grandfather's age,
they pants still hangin' down they legs
Talkin' about they ain't [G]paid

[Verse 3]
And [F]they hate you, 'cause [G]they
say, you [F]ain't pay [G]dues
[F]And [G]was[Am] stealin' and r[Em]obbin' them
[F]I feel it's a p[Em]roblem we g[F]otta resolve
[G]Hip- hop been dea[Am]d,
we the reason it [G]died

[Verse 4]
Was[Am]n't Sylvia's fault or because
MC's skills are lost
It's 'cause we can't see
ourselves as the [G]boss
Deep[Am]- rooted through slavery,
self- hatred
The Jewish stick together,
friends in high [G]places

[Verse 5]
[Am]We on some low [G]level shit
[F]We don't wan[Am]t niggas to [F]ever win[Am],
see, everybody got [Em]a label
[F]Everybody's [G]a rapper [F]but few flow [Am]fatal
It's [G]fucked up,

[Verse 6]
it all started from two turntables
[Am]When they crown you and
you rise up to your position
Carry on [G]tradition
[Am]When they Knight you then you go to fight,
go to war, don't petition
Carry on [G]tra[F]dition, [G]carry on tradition
Carry [F]on, ca- carry on,
[Am]carry on [Em]tra d[F]ition
Carry on [Em]tradition
[G]When you rep what we rep
then carry on tradition

[Verse 7]
Now [Am]some of these new rappers got
their caps flipped backwards
Wit their fingers intertwined
in some gang- sign [G]madness
[Am]I got an exam, let's see if y'all pass it
Let's see who can quote a Daddy
Kane line the fast[G]est

[Verse 8]
Some [F]of you new [G]rappers,
I don't [F]understand your code
You have your man shoot you, like in that
[Am]Sop ranos epis[Em]ode
Do anythin' to get [F]in the game,
[G]mixtapes, you spit hate
Against bosses,
[Am]hungry fucks [G]are [Am]moraless

[Verse 9]
You should be tossed in a pit full [Am]of unfortunate
vocalists
Niggas, I coulda wrote your shit
[G]I had off[Am]- time, was bored wit this,
I coulda made my double- LP
Just by samplin' different
parts [G]of Nautilus

[Verse 10]
[F]Still came [G]five on the [F]charts
with zero audience
The lane [Am]was open and y'all was
droppin' that [Em]garbage shit
[F]Y'all got awa[Em]rds for your bri[F]cks,
it got good to [G]ya
You started tellin' them bigger dogs
to call it quit[Am]s? What?

[Verse 11]
When they crown you and you rise [Am]up
to your position
Carry on [G]tradition
[Am]When they Knight you then you go to fight,
go to war, don't petition
Carry on [G]tra[F]dition, [G]carry on tradition
Carry [F]on, ca- carry on,
[Am]carry on [Em]tra d[F]ition
Carry on [Em]tradition
[Am]When you r[G]ep what we rep
then carry on tradition

[Verse 12]
Now [Am]niggas got the studio poppin',
it's mad clearer
Engineers got his earplugs and still [G]hear us
[Am]The live- in- the- park sound,
versus the studio state of art sound
We on the [G]charts now

[Verse 13]
[F]From British[G] Walkers and Argyles
Look at [F]us rap stars [G]now,
wit our [Am]black cars [Em]now
[F]Fortune [Em]500 listed, [F]brun[G]ches,
Cipriani's
Sippin', blunted,
with [Am]rich white [G]guys around [Am]me

[Verse 14]
Thick white girls around me, [Am]Chinese
lined up
Because I'm what, every dime [G]lust
[Am]We used to be a ghetto secret,
can't make my mind up
If I want that or [G]the whole world [F]to peep it
Now [G]carry on [F]tradition [Em]Fuck a bum

[Verse 15]
[F]
wack rapper [Am]makin' his
career out [Em]of di[Am]ssin'
Peace to the [Em]strugglin' [F]artists and dead [Am]one's gone,
we [G]miss 'em

[Verse 16]
I promise I carry on tradition
[Am]When they crown you and
you rise up to your position
Carry on [G]tradition
[Am]When they Knight you then you go to fight,
go to war, don't petition
Carry on [G]tra[F]dition, [G]carry on tradition
Carry [F]on, ca- carry on,
