"The Weight Of This Gun" lyrics
I was broke with ambition
I was rich in resolve
Had to sit with my problems
Just to watch them dissolve
I been broke in designer
I been rich with regret
I don't speak on intentions
I just take another step
I had to cut off my feelings
Just to sharpen my mind
Every loss was a lesson
Every win came with time
Oh, but now I'm a head case, red faced
Running at a set pace, let's face it
I don't want to lose my cool
Why must I raise my voice?
Maybe I should raise the standards
If you see me quiet, then mind your manners
I been solid through the seasons where the weak tend to fold
If you feel it in the room, that's the weight I hold
What's the weight of this gun?
I was built under pressure
Not applause, not a trend
I been cool with the reaper
Though he took all my friends
I don't need to be feared, I just need you to know
If you cross it, it's over, I just can't let it go
I don't flex for the internet, flex when it's real
Had to numb out the pain just to know how to heal
I don't carry a grudge, I just carry the truth
Every scar on my skin tried to bury the proof
Why must I raise my voice?
Maybe I should raise the standards
If you see me quiet, then mind your manners
I been solid through the seasons where the weak tend to fold
If you feel it in the room, that's the weight I hold
What's the weight of this gun?
I was rich in resolve
Had to sit with my problems
Just to watch them dissolve
I been broke in designer
I been rich with regret
I don't speak on intentions
I just take another step
I had to cut off my feelings
Just to sharpen my mind
Every loss was a lesson
Every win came with time
Oh, but now I'm a head case, red faced
Running at a set pace, let's face it
I don't want to lose my cool
Why must I raise my voice?
Maybe I should raise the standards
If you see me quiet, then mind your manners
I been solid through the seasons where the weak tend to fold
If you feel it in the room, that's the weight I hold
What's the weight of this gun?
I was built under pressure
Not applause, not a trend
I been cool with the reaper
Though he took all my friends
I don't need to be feared, I just need you to know
If you cross it, it's over, I just can't let it go
I don't flex for the internet, flex when it's real
Had to numb out the pain just to know how to heal
I don't carry a grudge, I just carry the truth
Every scar on my skin tried to bury the proof
Why must I raise my voice?
Maybe I should raise the standards
If you see me quiet, then mind your manners
I been solid through the seasons where the weak tend to fold
If you feel it in the room, that's the weight I hold
What's the weight of this gun?
