“Weight of My Name”

[Intro – 0:00–0:20]
(slow gospel chords, distant choir hum)
"They call on me like I’m a god…
But even gods can bleed.”
---
[Verse 1 – 0:20–1:00]
I wear the name like iron on skin,
Every sin they bury, they throw it in.
Blame the son for the father’s fire,
They raise me high, then watch me tire.
I ain’t no saint, I ain’t no stone,
I got flesh, I break alone.
But every time the sky goes dark,
They look at me to light the spark.
---
[Hook – 1:00–1:30]
I’m only human — can’t you see?
Don’t put your demons all on me.
I got scars you’ll never know,
But I still stand when winds blow cold.
Call me strong, call me brave,
But I got ghosts I couldn’t save.
I’m just a man with a flame,
Tryna live up to this name.
---
[Verse 2 – 1:30–2:10]
I don’t cry where they can see,
Taught to bear, not to be free.
I’m the wall, I’m the sword,
But I’m drowning under more.
Wrote their hopes across my chest,
Now they chant while I get less.
But I still walk, head held high,
Even bleeding, I won’t lie.
---
[Bridge – 2:10–2:40]
(choir rises, soft drum rolls)
I didn’t choose this crown of flame,
Didn’t beg to lead the name…
But if they need me to hold the line,
I’ll burn just to give ‘em time.
---
[Final Hook – 2:40–3:10]
I’m only human — let me be,
Don’t chain your hope to broken wings.
I still fight, I still believe,
But I’m tired of what they see in me.
I’m Leonardo — born to rise,
Even when I fall inside…
I’m just a man…
…with a legend’s price.
