WEIGHT lyrics

They split my world into pieces, I ain't heard from my nieces

I've been feeling defeated, like I'm the worst in the boyband

I ain't sleep in some weekends, tryna headline both weekends

Leave my niggas y'all sheepin', I keep the world in my hands

I know accounts should be deleted

I know some niggas should stop hitting my phone

Whenever they needing money or favors done

'Cause I'm still worried 'bout

When Ashlan finna put the razor down

So I don't really give a fuck about a story they done spun

And I ain't done

And I ain't done, ya heard me?

And I ain't done

I really miss the old days before the cosigns

I really miss them cold days before the road signs

I really miss when I ain't know which way I was supposed to head

And I was pressed because my shorty gave me cold signs

I was writing poems 'bout a dog in study hall

And she was mad cause I never wanna show her off

And every time she took her bra off my dick would get soft

I thought I had a problem, kept my head inside a pillow screaming

I don't wanna waste no more time

I'm ready to go

I live my life on standby

I can leave you alone

'Cause we're born with a dollar sign attached to our temple

Life is a dish served cold most times

And all my life I've taken handfuls, force-fed by the hand that feeds us

But not all hands created equal

I stand by waiting for something good to come

In due time, the skies will split for the sun to smile

My mother called me today

She said she thought she felt my energy a country away

I apologized for not calling enough due to weight

But couldn't tell you if I kept it in my head to decay

I asked her, "Why this world love echoing hate?"

She said, "Don't let those who dont know you start dictating your fate"

I think the hardest part of love could be rebuilding the breaks

Conditioned to omit them until our foundation will shake

It's no debate

The road to peace is filled with snakes, you gotta keep your cool

And recognize the wolves that wanna try and leave you wool

Don't let 'em treat you a window, you know you're a jewel

The world is cruel and not as simple as they teach in schools

Sometimes you gotta step away and check your own intentions

And analyze if what they do can compromise your vision

If people trust you, they don't need to question your decisions

You never needed them if they make you another villain (Pressure)

They tried to take the bike

And they took my friend's bike

And then friend was gonna get it back

But then he didn't get it back

And then we had to go to the police station

And then um then some (Pressure)

A random stranger brought back his bike

We just you know, and we didn't tell our mom

So we got in trouble (Pressure makes me)

Because they found out like a day later

Do you want to start the game again?

Pressure makes me lash back, wish I could get past that

I can't take a step back, makes me wish you'd pass that

Pressure makes me lash back, wish I could get past that

I can't take a step back, makes me wish you'd pass that

Pressure makes, Pressure makes, Pressu-

Wish I could, Wish I could, Wish I-

I can't take, I can't take, I can't-

Makes me wish, Makes me wish, Makes me-

Pressure makes, Pressure makes, Pressu-

Wish I could, Wish I could, Wish I-

I can't take, I can't take, I can't-

Makes me wish, Makes me wish, Makes me-

Sippin' on my pain, smokin' on my pain

Ingesting my pain, I just wanna play

Sippin' on my pain, smokin' on my pain

Ingesting my pain, I just wanna play

Sippin on my, (sipping on my), smokin' on my (smokin' on my)

Ingestin' my (ingestin' my), I just wanna (I just wanna)

Sippin on my, (sipping on my), smokin' on my (smokin' on my)

Ingestin' my (ingestin' my), I just wanna (I just wanna)
