Prompt / Lyrics
Intro Yeah… Funny how the light feel heavy When you the one they lookin’ at Verse 1 I remember dreamin’ small just to survive Now the vision big and I’m scared of the size Everybody cheer when you step in your glow Nobody ask what it cost you to grow I been talkin’ to silence, it answer me back Say “stay on your course,” don’t panic, don’t crack Faith in my chest, doubt in my bones Both fight for control when I’m all alone Chorus This the weight of the light, yeah it pull on my spine Everybody want shine, don’t nobody want time Hands get tired when you buildin’ your way Still I lift ‘em up, I got somethin’ to say This the weight of the light, gotta carry it right Too much pride turn a glow into night I ain’t perfect, I’m present, I’m tryin’ my best If this heavy, it mean I was meant for the test Verse 2 I been checkin’ my motives more than my mirrors Tryna hear what’s eternal, not just what’s louder Fame got a way of changin’ the room Make strangers feel close and the real ones move I pray less for wins, more for peace Less “look at me,” more “help me see” If my name fade out, let my work remain If I fall, let it teach me somethin’ plain Verse 3 Pressure make diamonds, or it crack the stone Depends if you listen or stand alone I seen talent fold when the praise too loud I seen quiet faith never beg the crowd I been learnin’ slow don’t mean you late Some doors open only when you wait I don’t need revenge, I don’t need receipts Life keep score better than tweets Verse 4 I been learnin’ balance ain’t a static pose It’s a thousand corrections nobody knows Some days faith feel loud, some days thin Still choose to knock when doubt don’t let me in Roots don’t rush just to touch the sky They dig real deep where the dark stay quiet Some prayers unanswered saved my breath Some delays kept me from meetin’ my death I ain’t bitter, I’m awake Every setback just adjust my weight If I stumble, let it teach my feet Every wrong note sharpen how I speak Bridge (Spoken Feel) Yeah… They clap for the outcome, not the cost They quote the wins, don’t mention the loss But I know the nights I almost quit The versions of me I had to outgrow quick If I lead, let it be with open hands If I stand, let it be on what I am No mask, no myth, no borrowed light Just truth in motion, night by night Chorus (Final) This the weight of the light, I accept my role If it bend my back, it strengthen my soul If I glow, let it point past me I carry the light—but it carry me This the weight of the light, I won’t drop it now Not a curse, it’s a call, I don’t bow If it test me, I walk it through This light heavy ‘cause it’s meant to move Outro Still becomin’, still untied Still unlearnin’ old goodbyes If the road bend, I bend with it If it test me, I sit with it I don’t need the world to agree I just need peace when it’s me and me If the light heavy, I won’t fight it I’ll breathe, stand firm, and walk inside it Yeah… That’s the weight. That’s the walk.
