[Nerve, Syntax junkies, Spekter - Weight lyrics]
Yo it's another day and I'm just
Another waste of space
Another race away too late to make the gates
Another player who hates the game
You pay for fame while I'm breaking in
My trainers just to make the train
I be saving change but i ain't seeing any
'Cause two cents from a snake
Doesn't mean a penny
You looking fake and you seeming petty
And I can see it in your face you're
Gonna break if you don't see confetti
You writing bars about the
Weight of your vest
While i be scribing psalms just to
Keep that weight off my chest
A blade, I'm depressed
Drain it all the way with a pen
On the rail station to station where
My brain is at rest maybe I'm vexed
Maybe I'm deranged and a pest
Maybe I'm waiting on an angel who
Can take me to death
But everyday I'm blessing pages to
Refrain from the stress
And get away from medication that
They claim is the best
Don't need a razors edge to let loose
The pain from this recluses brain
'Cause my pen shoots the flames and
I rep truth on stage
I'm the next dude to break
From a dead useless game
So I get through the day and I send you away
And with the the earth sitting on my neck
I be looking at civilians with
A shiver of resent
I see militants eliminating children
For a check and conditions of the system got
Me wishing we were dead
When the sun rises up in the east
I pray that one day I'll be
Living out the dreams I crave
And when the sun sets down in the west
I pray the weight of the word
Doesn't break my neck today
So just weight, just weight
Cause one day my knees will buckle
And my breath will fade
So just weight, just weight
While I'm carrying the earth
Upon my neck today
Another day, another coffin
Another name forgotten
There's another hundred ways for you
To run away from problems
I love the shape this
Horrid summerscape has gotten
Its like the sun escaped and now
We numb the pain with toxins
The drugs drugs we're taking are rotten
Suffocating on vomit
A hundred days into sodom and
Nothing's changing or stopping
Uppercutting your face till my knuckles
Stuck in their place
You can crumble under the weight or
You mumble something in vain
And while you're sitting at your
Mates place blazing shard
I'm chilling in this trailer park
Trying to name a bar
'Cause life is easy but we make it hard
So you better train your heart
More people should take acid and play guitar
I live in prisons of
Vivid syllables spinning in
Wicked visual this isn't simple
Spitting in rhythm
You're giving in to the system
And pinching kids for commission
The decision isnt as hidden as
Your principal thinks it is
We didn't come this far to
Get pushed back down
We got the city in our corner don't
Look back now a lot of good cats turned
Hoodrats and look cracked out
But thats the way the Earth turns
When you put tracks down
'Cause these days I feel my
Backing aching and curl
Trying to save the girl carrying
The weight of the world
Like superman if spitting rhymes
Was his kryptonite
Making dope tunes in a phone
Booth thats equipped with mics
When the sun rises up in the east
I pray that one day I'll be
Living out the dreams I crave
And when the sun sets down in the west
I pray the weight of the word
Doesn't break my neck today
So just weight, just weight
Cause one day my knees will buckle
And my breath will fade
So just weight, just weight
While I'm carrying the earth
Upon my neck today
