"Heavy" lyrics
Alright, alright
Everything will be alright
And I'd take a Sunday stroll just to see a roll
Ain't asked me how I'm doin', ask somebody who knows
They tried to box me in but I ain't ever fit the mold
And listenin' to them was gettin' old
Most people really thinkin' that the money make 'em whole
Like if I just had a million I'd be good, I'd be gold
But let me tell you somethin', and this straight from the soul
Soon as you make a million you just want a million more
Now life a little different 'cause they say hi when they see me
And people wanna be me, carryin' that weight isn't easy
I rarely show my hand and I never let 'em read me
'Cause my childhood taught me if I love it, it'll leave me
Acknowledgin' the hurt is somethin' that's startin' to help me
Just holdin' it in forever all the time just isn't healthy
And cleanin' out your closet always harder when it's filthy
'Cause people who got love, man they are truly wealthy
But now I got everything that I ever dreamed of
Me and hard work teamed up and we cleaned up
I ain't sayin' it was smooth, it was greased up
I just know that when I pick it up
I know it get heavy, heavy, heavy
Way too heavy, heavy, heavy
But you don't gotta carry anything on your own
I know it ain't easy, easy, easy
No, it ain't easy, easy, easy
But sometimes you just gotta let it go
I still feel like the younger me, dribblin' to the bus stop
Three, two, one, jump, stop, and then jump shot
Sneakers meltin' on the blacktop, was dumb hot
Treat every second as a must-watch
Life is full of buzzer-beaters
Just in, we ain't all Biebers
If life's like a movie, mine a double-feature
Every time I looked up it's like the hill was steeper
But I still hung tight like a carabiner
And they say God was workin' magic but I felt like a muggle
My hands was real full, out here to juggle
I've seen it all fall down and emerge from the rubble
Now I'm just sayin' what I'm thinkin'
There ain't no need to be subtle
I remember when the light at the tunnel was real dim
And the change of anythin' happenin' was real slim
All the days when nothin' would budge, nothin' would give
I gave everything I had, but I never gave in
I know it get heavy, heavy, heavy
Way too heavy, heavy, heavy
But you don't gotta carry anything on your own
I know it ain't easy, easy, easy
No, it ain't easy, easy, easy
But sometimes you just gotta let it go
Alright, alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
And I'd take a Sunday stroll just to see a roll
Ain't asked me how I'm doin', ask somebody who knows
They tried to box me in but I ain't ever fit the mold
And listenin' to them was gettin' old
Most people really thinkin' that the money make 'em whole
Like if I just had a million I'd be good, I'd be gold
But let me tell you somethin', and this straight from the soul
Soon as you make a million you just want a million more
Now life a little different 'cause they say hi when they see me
And people wanna be me, carryin' that weight isn't easy
I rarely show my hand and I never let 'em read me
'Cause my childhood taught me if I love it, it'll leave me
Acknowledgin' the hurt is somethin' that's startin' to help me
Just holdin' it in forever all the time just isn't healthy
