UNDER ALL THIS WEIGHT

(Sub-bass tone at 30Hz creeps in. Feels like air pressure. Slow heartbeat kick.)

Yeah…

I’m still breathin’

Even when it don’t look like it

(FIRST DEEP BASS DROP — long, rolling)

I wake up tired before the day begin

Body hurt, mind fried, still gotta pretend

Everybody want a version of me

Clean-cut, no cracks, strong mentally

Smile on, soul duct-taped

Carry shit I never fuckin’ asked to take

They see calm, they don’t see cost

They don’t feel the nights I lost

I keep it smooth so nobody worry

Meanwhile my chest feel heavy and blurry

I don’t talk ‘bout the weight I hold

I just sink into the bass real slow

(Bass dips out for half a second)

Let the bass DROP low in my skin

Let it hum where the pain live in

I ain’t weak, I’m worn thin

Still standin’ in the mess I’m in

Let it roll, let it stay

Soul wrapped in low-end pain

If I’m quiet, don’t mistake

That’s me survivin’ under all this weight

(SECOND DROP — deeper, dirtier)

I dream of my mom still fuckin’ alive

Only peace I get is when I close my eyes

Even in the dream I know she gone

So I cling to her like “don’t move on”

Wake up empty, chest cave in

Back to the world tellin’ me how to live

Everybody got advice for my lane

But won’t ask if it drive me insane

They judge my steps, they judge my pace

But won’t carry the blame if I break

They say “do this, you’ll be fine”

Fine ain’t peace if I lose my fuckin’ mind

(BASS SWELL — pressure rising)

Let the bass DROP harder than my thoughts

Every hit say “you still fought”

I don’t wanna vanish, I want relief

From carryin’ shit nobody sees

Let it shake my ribs, my frame

Every rumble speak my pain

I ain’t broken, I’m still here

Just overloaded year by year

(TRIPLE DROP — staggered, violent)

Everybody got opinions ‘bout my fuckin’ life

But won’t bleed with me when I pay the price

I react once, now that’s the story

Erase the months I carried everybody

I ain’t cold, I retreat

‘Cause if I stay, I fuckin’ bleed

(DROP — HARD, DISTORTED)

Hold it together (DROP)

Don’t fall apart (DROP)

Be what they need (DROP)

Bury your heart (DROP)

(Each drop lower, heavier)

Let the bass DROP one last time

For the nights I lost my mind

I ain’t ask for pity or grace

Just stop handin’ me weight that ain’t mine to take

Let it DROP till the truth come out

I’m still here, worn the fuck out

Built from scars, not pretend

This is me — unfiltered to the end

(FINAL EARTHQUAKE DROP — long decay, bass ringing)

I survived what cracked my bones

Don’t confuse endurance with peace

I’m still standin’…

Just carryin’ more than most could keep.
