Weight of the World
[Verse 1: Justin Stone]
Weight of the world on my shoulders
Yeah I'm far away but I'm only getting closer
Can't wait for the day I can finally say I made it
I don't wanna worry 'bout a money conversation
When that money's gone, tell me where you'll be
When I fall off, don't lie, I know you'll leave
If my fate changed and one day I couldn't sing
Tell me you'll be there to say, "At least you chased your dream"
Now my phone rings from the girls that told me to hit the road
It's funny how karma comes around, ain't it though?
Looking for a wife, used to only looks for hoes
There's beauty in the struggle, we just gotta get exposed, yeah
Praying each and every night that this happens
Remember how they told us no, they always kept on laughing
But now we rising up, now we on a roll
It's me and my team, let's go
[Chorus]
I got the weight of the world sitting on my shoulders
There's no way you could hold me down
Baby, I'll just soldier on like
I got the weight of the world sitting on my shoulders
There's no way you could hold me down
Baby, I'll just soldier on like
[Verse 2: Abstract]
Weight of the world on my shoulders, could you catch it?
If I tossed it to you, guarantee that you regret it
'Cause the expectations get heavy as hearts along the way
Checking out with bigger bills is hard
Friends ain't got the change
Life ain't simple as it used to be
Symbols crashing eulogy
Reality is taxing
Y'all thought living dreams was duty-free?
With great power comes a much greater responsibility
No Uncle Ben, but this what's the Parker story once said to me
All over the web, a very fitting analogy
Buildings turn into continents
Swinging consonants out of me
Slinging words to reality, lucid in how I work
Fine line in my mind between what I dream and the earth
If you ever find me crushed beneath the weight of the world
Please remind me that my worth was worth more than my words
Let me know if I get too caught up
But for the time being, I suggest keep up
[Chorus]
I got the weight of the world sitting on my shoulders
There's no way you could hold me down
Baby, I'll just soldier on like
I got the weight of the world sitting on my shoulders
There's no way you could hold me down
Baby, I'll just soldier on like
