Heavy

Yeah… some days the smile is the heaviest thing me carry.

Bright outside, but inside storm never done.

This one for everybody drowning quiet.

You’re not alone, yuh hear?

Wake up and the ceiling feel like a weight

Tell my face “smile” but my soul say “wait”

Heart beat loud but the room dead silent

Anxiety screaming, the mind get violent

Walking through a room full of people that love me

Still feel invisible, nobody can’t see me

Phone buzzing—let it ring, let it ring

Depression is a thief with a beautiful thing

Dem say “just be positive,” like that’s a switch

Try walking in shoes that itch and itch

Every step feel like quicksand, every breath is a fight

But me keep walking through the dark, cause me nah give up the light

Heavy, heavy, the whole world on me shoulder

Young heart getting colder, story never told—yeah

Heavy, heavy, but me hold on tighter

The dawn come after the night, me a fighter

Anxiety a storm, depression a flood

But me stand firm in the name of love

Heavy… but me nah go drown

Me gon’ rise, me gon’ rise from the underground

Some days me laugh so the tears can hide

Pride in the pain, but the pain inside wide

Bredda ask “how yuh stay strong?” — truth is me fake it

Break down in the bathroom, then come back and make it

Look good on the outside, inside a war zone

Mind racing midnight, can’t find the calm tone

Friends dem fading, isolation creeping

Me hear the silence loud when the whole world sleeping

Dem say “just be positive,” like that’s a switch

Try walking in shoes that itch and itch

Every step feel like quicksand, every breath is a fight

But me keep walking through the dark, cause me nah give up the light

Heavy, heavy, the whole world on me shoulder

Young heart getting colder, story never told—yeah

Heavy, heavy, but me hold on tighter

The dawn come after the night, me a fighter

Anxiety a storm, depression a flood

But me stand firm in the name of love

Heavy… but me nah go drown

Me gon’ rise, me gon’ rise from the underground

Me nah ashamed to say me need help

Real strength is reaching when you’re by yourself

Tears nuh make you weak, them wash the soul clean

Every morning you wake up, you win the unseen

To anybody fighting demons nobody know about

Your breath is a battle, and you still here—show out

Reach out. Talk loud. You matter.

The load get lighter when you let somebody carry.

So me write this in the dark for the ones in the dark

Who feel invisible, who lost the spark

Who smile through the pain, who hide all the scars

Who fight every day just to get past the start

Me see you. Me am you. We breathing the same air

The storm going pass, me swear

Heavy, heavy, the whole world on me shoulder

Young heart getting colder, story never told—yeah

Heavy, heavy, but me ho
