[Chorus]
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
Make it through the day, each one feels the same
Never see myself in the frozen flames
Alone, I know I walk these roads
[Verse 1: Brer Rabbit]
Add it up, I'm man enough to toss it in the griddle
Abandoning the animus and losing all momentum
It's bad, patterns keep my madness in the middle
It's sad 'cause I'm so close to winning
The whole of emotions are holding me back
I'm open and lonely, and nobody asked
Can't cope with the slogans and too many ads
Accumulate bruising and negative habits
Perhaps there's a Rabbit that raps, "I'll get enough cabbage
To get someone to carry these bags"
But who is the master, who is the bastard?
Who is the pastor, always lying at church to get us
To pay down his taxes?
Going potassium, bananas
I'm out looking for these answers
Keep me black and strapped molasses
Irons out to blasts the shackles
I am tasked with reaching out
When my inner light is casting shadows
[Chorus]
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
I'll do my part and if you do the same
Then we win the day, we win the day
[Verse 2: Jonny 5]
Pull my weight up by myself
But there's so much agitation
Fever dreams haunt half the nation
Checking on my health
Told you about a million vaccinations
A stack of ancient papers made sacred
Talk to me in prophecies
But not the blasphemous heresies
Billionaires extract from the Pharisees
I'm talking about Heaven on Earth
Making it happen right here while stepping on dirt
At the concert I scream out for paradise
For those scared to death, for those scared of life
For those derelicts that feel terrified
Who feel unknown, unappreciated
I'm waiting for a sign, tell me when it's time
To come home and be initiated
And I'm just one lone unsophisticated soul
One amongst billions
On the planet for a minute now
Moving in and out of my resilience
In a crowd, I'm floating in a cloud
The prize I'm waiting for is right here beneath
But when I'm isolated, it's like it's light years from me
[Chorus]
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
I'll do my part and if you do the same
Then we win the day, we win the day
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
I'll do my part and if you do the same
Then we win the day, we win the day
[Verse 3: Brer Rabbit]
I do my small part and you do the same
You won't let my monsters stand in my way
I light your shadow and we break the chains
And we win the day, we win the day
I can sing your song when you are afraid
You can sing my song when I'm in the grave
We know the words 'cause they both are the same
We win the day, we win the day
[Chorus]
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
I'll do my part and if you do the same
Then we win the day, we win the day
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
I'll do my part and if you do the same
Then we win the day, we win the day
[Outro]
Pull my weight, can I pull my weight?
Make it through the day, each one feels the same
Never see myself in the frozen flames
Alone, I know I walk these roads
