On My Shoulders
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Couldn't put it down even if I tried
Even if I tried
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Can't put it down til' the day I die
Til' the day I die
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Couldn't put it down even if I tried
Even if I tried
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Can't put it down til' the day I die
Yo
Lines jam packed
Just to see us
Looking through these tinted windows on this tour bus
Who woulda thought all of this just to see us
Not knowing what it's really like to be us
They just see us
In the videos
And think in real life
That's how it really goes
'Cause they don't see those
Dark days
When the curtains close
And we off stage
Oh what I wouldn't give to relive the first days (Go back)
But this the Truman show
And I'm Burbank
Somebody say cut (Cut)
Dim the bright lights
Why me Lord?
Give me a normal life (Please)
Let me go back to when it was so simple
We did it for the love
Wasn't no record labels
No silver screens
'Cause that ain't real
Thinking back maybe I shoulda took the blue pill
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Couldn't put it down even if I tried
Even if I tried
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Can't put it down til' the day I die
Til' the day I die
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Couldn't put it down even if I tried
Even if I tried
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Can't put it down til' the day I die
Yo on air unaware they hang off these lyrics
And rush to act out everything that they hearing
Used to ride the train, they din't know my name
But my oh my how things have changed
Said I'd stay the same, at least I try to be
But the weight of the world is bringing something outta me
Promised my parents I'd get 'em out the projects
But my pops died and its messin' with my conscience
Mom scared to move 'cause my money ain't straight
High cell phone bills and my school loans late
Check from the label gotta split it six ways
So it really don't help with these bills gettin' paid
My nine to five said I can't skip work for gigs
And my girl said she don't see no money comin' in
So I'm praying dear Lord make something out of nothing
My Aunt just called, need bail for my cousin
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Couldn't put it down even if I tried
Even if I tried
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Can't put it down til' the day I die
Til' the day I die
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Couldn't put it down even if I tried
Even if I tried
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Can't put it down til' the day I die
Somebody help me I'm being spontaneous
Piranhas at my head, Eddie Arkadian
I ain't afraid of water, I'll swim
Before the weight of the world try to pull me in
'Cause I'm better, I'm stronger, I will not drown
I'm livin' for tomorrow, but it starts now
I'll put the weight of the world on my back now
'Cause this is my calling, I can't back down
I ain't good, just His, so I'll make it through
'Cause when I come of stage I'm just like you
Overcome who? Yo I beg your pardon
I come out looking better than I first started
With a smile on no scars got the best of me
Head to the sky accepting my destiny
There's no rest for me, the days are growing darker
I am Hancock, Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Couldn't put it down even if I tried
Even if I tried
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Can't put it down til' the day I die
Til' the day I die
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Couldn't put it down even if I tried
Even if I tried
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Can't put it down til' the day I die
The weight of the world
Even if I tried
The weight of the world
Til' the day I die
The weight of the world
Even if I tried
The weight of the world
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Couldn't put it down even if I tried
Even if I tried
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Can't put it down til' the day I die
Til' the day I die
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Couldn't put it down even if I tried
Even if I tried
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
Can't put it down til' the day I die
Yo
