Weight i carry

INTRO

Mmm… don’t… (don’t…)

You ain’t live this…

HOOK

Don’t call it ego, you ain’t live this weight (nah…)

I been holdin’ worlds on a cracked up frame

They see me standin’, think I’m proud or fake

But I built this spine through pain

PROLOGUE

It look easy…

You ain’t see the cost.

VERSE 1

Smiled through pressure, never let it show (never…)

Kept it movin’ when I lost control

Had to mother while I broke my soul (still…)

Ain’t nobody ever fill that role

PRE-CHORUS

You don’t know what it cost me (cost…)

Every loss built a boss in me

CHORUS

This ain’t ego, this survival talk (talk…)

Every step came with a heavy cost

If you wore this life, you would fall apart

I just learned how to walk in the dark

VERSE 2

Nights I cried, still got up again (again…)

Faced the world with a steady grin

Held it down through the wear and tear

Even when I felt paper thin

PRE-CHORUS

You don’t know that pressure (pressure…)

You ain’t built for this weather

CHORUS

This ain’t ego, this survival talk (talk…)

Every step came with a heavy cost

If you wore this life, you would fall apart

I just learned how to walk in the dark

VERSE 3

I was breakin’, still played my part (my part…)

Held it down with a guarded heart

Gave my all from the very start

Now I move like I know my part

BRIDGE

Don’t speak on me… (don’t…)

If you ain’t been me…

FINAL CHORUS

This ain’t ego, this survival truth (truth…)

Every scar left undeniable proof

If you lived it, you would move how I move

I just did what I had to do

OUTRO

Not ego…

Just truth.
