Weight by Ethos The Rapper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll stuff it away, I don't wanna burden nobody with my shit today, and that's okay
What good does it do if they tell you they'll listen but don't hear a word that you say?
Their attention's astray and I'm fuckin' upset with the lack of sincerity that's on display
And I don't need permission to talk to myself, dummy mission, that's why I write lyrics
I'm a muse itchin', head of the kitchen, always provide you with sonic nutrition
Despite all my inner positions the demons that rise to the surface are held from the top
By the words in the verse, artists are deeply afflicted, projecting it all on our fans is a gift and a curse
The weight doesn't carе about you, the heaviness holding us down it's divеrse
[Chorus]
The world doesn't weigh as much if we all put some back in and then lift
Go out of your way to tell someone that's hittin' a struggle their life is a gift
[Verse 2]
And I'm using this song as a way of expressin' the dread of depression
A tricky topic, one that we're all inclined to avoid even slightly addressin' so you'll just keep it locked in while
They're worryin about you ambiguously you leave them in the dark so they start the assuming and guessin'
So they'll bring it up to you in private and then you'll just tell them you're messin' but deep on the inside, you're broken
And deeply you're stressin' but don't wanna vent 'cause you think that it makes you look meek
Or it makes you feel weak, so rather than talkin' it out, you just strap on the boots and you hit the cement
Now you're ready for war, you'll take anything that can happen to a violent extent just to cope
With the weight through malicious intent, are you feeling content?
[Chorus]
The world doesn't weigh as much if we all put some back in and then lift
Go out of your way to tell someone that's hittin' a struggle their life is a gift
The world doesn't weigh as much if we all put some back in and then lift
Go out of your way to tell someone that's hittin' a struggle their life is a gift
The world doesn't weigh as much if we all put some back in and then lift
Go out of your way to tell someone that's hittin' a struggle their life is a gift
No, it ain't as heavy if you put in both of your hands and then lift
Now go out of your way to tell someone that's sad that their soul is a gift
I'll stuff it away, I don't wanna burden nobody with my shit today, and that's okay
What good does it do if they tell you they'll listen but don't hear a word that you say?
Their attention's astray and I'm fuckin' upset with the lack of sincerity that's on display
And I don't need permission to talk to myself, dummy mission, that's why I write lyrics
I'm a muse itchin', head of the kitchen, always provide you with sonic nutrition
Despite all my inner positions the demons that rise to the surface are held from the top
By the words in the verse, artists are deeply afflicted, projecting it all on our fans is a gift and a curse
The weight doesn't carе about you, the heaviness holding us down it's divеrse
[Chorus]
The world doesn't weigh as much if we all put some back in and then lift
Go out of your way to tell someone that's hittin' a struggle their life is a gift
