[INTRO] Sometimes you gotta trim the fat Remove the anchors dragging you down This ain’t personal, it’s survival Cut the weight [VERSE 1] I used to carry dead weight thinking loyalty meant everything But loyalty’s a two-way street, not just me suffering From people who take and never give back to the connection Who drain my energy and offer zero protection From the storms of life, they just add to the disaster So I had to cut ‘em loose, had to move a little faster Without the burden of their negativity on my shoulders I’m climbing to the peak, getting mentally bolder Cut the weight of fake friends who smile up in my face But talk behind my back, leave a bitter aftertaste Cut the weight of energy vampires sucking me dry Who only call when they need something, never asking how am I Cut the weight of people who don’t celebrate my wins Who secretly hope I fail, who want me giving in To mediocrity, to staying at their level low I cut the weight and watched my elevation grow [CHORUS] Cut the weight, remove the anchors from my life Cut the weight, eliminate the stress and strife Cut the weight, only room for those who elevate Cut the weight, no more time to hesitate Cut the weight, protect my peace at any cost Cut the weight, their presence is my loss [VERSE 2] I’m selective with my circle now, quality over quantity I’d rather roll alone than with fake solidarity From people who pretend to care but really just observe Waiting for me to fall so they can say I got what I deserve Nah, I cut that cancer out before it spread too far Before it contaminated everything, before it left a scar On my mental health, on my progress, on my peace of mind I had to leave some people in the past, leave ‘em behind It’s not about being cold, it’s about being smart with energy Investing in connections that produce positive synergy Not draining interactions that leave me feeling empty I cut the weight of guilt that said I owed them plenty Of chances, of my time, of my grace extended long Past the expiration date when I knew something was wrong In the dynamic, in the balance, in the give and take I cut the weight for my future, for my own sake [BRIDGE] Not everyone deserves access to your life and energy Some connections are toxic disguised as friendly Cut the weight, protect your peace, guard your mental space Only let in those who add value to your race [OUTRO] I’m lighter now, I’m faster now I’m focused now, I’m better now Because I cut the weight And I ain’t picking it back up Ever

CUT THE WEIGHT
