Built to Carry Weight
I will still stand up
even if it all falls down
Stand & deliver
flying over shaking ground
That be my measure
for all you that
come to weigh
I am good in the storm
My Gods built me to carry weight
Put the world on my back
cuz they know I won't break
Its an uphill battle
but its always been this way
some are born to the struggle
nothing else you can really say
some crumble from the challenge
others never find they way
I was born seeking balance
I was built to carry weight
from the tilt of the head
to the curl in the dread
nothing left standing
if it gets in my way
I got to keep it moving
searching for a brighter day
I can't cry about the burdens
My war whoop break the sky
My Gods built me to carry weight
(you probably wanna get outta my way)
I will still stand up
even if it all falls down
Stand & deliver
flying over shaking ground
That be my measure
for all you that
come to weigh
I am good in the storm
My Gods built me to carry weight
Put the world on my back
cuz they know I won't break
born and raised in babylon
no silver spoon I keep a hustle on
can't sleep
cuz then I won't eat
never had
no justice
never had
no peace
I do believe that we can get along
but sometimes I feel the strain
of being held down so long
my survival is surprising
but I stay
invested in my rising
fit for the battle fit
never had time to worry
'bout the size of it
one direction forward
all gas no brakes
ain't looking for a break
My Gods built me to carry weight
I embrace my fate
(you probably wanna get outta my way)
I will still stand up
even if it all falls down
Stand & deliver
flying over shaking ground
That be my measure
for all you that
come to weigh
I am good in the storm
My Gods built me to carry weight
Put the world on my back
cuz they know I won't break
head to the sky
feel the breeze as I float by
hear the notes to the blues
of overpaid dues
still forever will I rise
entertain all occasions
you don’t always get to choose
you can get knocked down
if you stay down you lose
so I keep reaching for the
higher ground on the path
world on my back
no time to moan trying to get home
don't expect no one to wait
I thank my Gods
I was born to carry weight
(you probably wanna get outta my way)
I will still stand up
even if it all falls down
Stand & deliver
flying over shaking ground
That be my measure
for all you that
come to weigh
I am good in the storm
My Gods built me to carry weight
Put the world on my back
cuz they know I won't break
