[Intro – soft, almost humming]
Mm…
Yeah…
(light guitar picking)
[Verse 1 – melodic, sung]
I been wakin’ up feelin’ pressure on my chest
Like if I slow down, I fall behind the rest
They just see me try, they don’t see the stress
They don’t hear the thoughts runnin’ through my head
People tellin’ me who I’m supposed to be
Talkin’ like they know what’s inside of me
I stay quiet, keep it underneath
But it’s gettin’ hard just to breathe
[Hook – fully sung, emotional]
Got this weight on me… I can’t set it down
Tryna be enough… but I’m losin’ ground
Every step I take… feel it pull me down
But I can’t stop now
Got this weight on me… even when I sleep
Tryna play it strong… but it’s killin’ me
If I let it go… what’s it gonna mean?
Who am I then?
[Verse 2 – more storytelling, still melodic]
Late at night, I’m thinkin’ ‘bout it all
If I make one move, could I lose it all?
Tryna build a life, tryna stand up tall
But it feel like I’m runnin’ into walls
They say “take your time,” I don’t feel that way
Every single day feel like I’m too late
If I take a break, then I start to hate
Every little step that I didn’t take
[Bridge – stripped, almost whisper-singing]
Mm…
I don’t say it, I just hold it in
Like I gotta carry everything
And it’s heavy…
Yeah, it’s heavy…
[Verse 3 – melodic rap (light bounce, still singy)]
I been pushin’, I don’t ever stop
Even when I feel like I’m at the top
Of the edge, like I’m ‘bout to drop
But I keep goin’, I can’t just stop
I’m tired, yeah, I won’t lie
Got a lot on my mind every night
Tryna be what they see inside
But I don’t even know if I’m right
Still—
I keep walkin’, I don’t turn around
Even when I feel like I’m breakin’ down
If I quit now, I’ma drown in doubt
So I keep goin’, no way out
[Hook – bigger, layered vocals]
Got this weight on me… I can’t set it down
Tryna be enough… but I’m losin’ ground
Every step I take… feel it pull me down
But I can’t stop now
Got this weight on me… even when I sleep
Tryna play it strong… but it’s killin’ me
If I let it go… what’s it gonna mean?
Who am I then?
[Outro – soft, fading]
Mm…
Maybe I’ll figure it out someday…
But right now…
It’s still on me…
