CARRY ON
Lyrics By Airborne Mark

Nowadays my neck aches more than right hand while painting
I’m craning it constantly, consumed by anxiety
Actually I’d be safer doing again night back jumps rather than being hassled by fame driven Tony Hawk proskaters and Marc Ecko getting-up writers in broad daylight on the Southbank
Respect is not the aim of the game anymore
Skate-parks, halls of fame and basket-ball courts used to be safe havens
Breakers, graff writers and BMX riders were getting along much more together
Not that there were no hairy dust-ups
Battles were critical, they rose the bar up
But why is it more likely today to exchange knife blows with strangers than high fives?

Those kids drive me crazy
They make me write these earnest songs
It's them out on the streets not in the classroom that makes me carry on x2

Rappers pursue blindly enslaving record deals
Get me on stage ASAP
Preferably, the attitude of a humble busy-bee is not as necessary
Give me the honey, I’m in for accolade, alloy rims and lassies
No wonder, records and videos reflect those insecurities
No thank you, long ago I turned off this uninspiring music TV of puffed up egos
Clad with bells and whistles of a never satisfied soul.
Dogged by white elephants to plug whistling hollows with
And the list goes on
And the list goes on

Those kids drive me crazy … x2

Having seen much, my deep concern is for the street
Firstly, I think of kids
So the abundant life I live I put proudly on a candle stick
I back it up with work of great quality
Elevating lines of aerosol artistry narrated with rhyming words of hope and increase
As youngsters aspire to what they see and hear
This is what I’m determined to fuel the streets with
Either as Airborne Mark, thePilot or Mister C

Those kids drive me crazy … x2
