Alicia Keys - Weight lyrics

Uh Yea Malachite Yo yea yo It's been a minute Shout out to my man Mattius I just gotta pour for a second Blow the dust off the mic real quick Yo Verse 1 Feeling like I got the worlds weight on my shoulders I'm only 24 but I'm starting to feel older Why is life like this Mid life crisis If I do the math then 48 I'm lifeless And I'm so priceless see that ain't a brag line Rocking on a gangsta watch these are f**ing bad times Looking at the homeless man wondering that's next for me Thinking 'bout my past life still dreaming of destiny Looking at the beggar he begging for some cheddar We really just the same but I'm just dressed better God talks to me like every single day And even though I never really hear a word he says They say that he works in mysterious ways I never used to fear these mysterious days I've fallen so hard, I'm losing all my sanity Maybe rock bottom there's the opposite of Gravity Hook I've been weighing all this weight Thats on my mind mind mind I can't believe it No no I can't even breathe in All this weight is on my mind Verse 2 I can't breathe Been knocked down hard you can see it in my knees I done lost my job and my girl left me Bills piling up and the numbers so hefty It's getting so cold where ama be living Got the landlord knocking on my door wit evictions, uh My welfare ain't wealth there, nah And see I couldn't get welfare So if I started from the top now I'm here I started from the bottom everything is so clear I'm up all night I sleep all day Found peace in a bottle everything is ok But my stomach hurts, damn Low shoulders no weight One way to lose weight Man I wanna call it quits and go home My dreams are as dead as my spirit is Debating going where the spirits live Hook I've been weighing all this weight That's on my mind mind mind I can't believe it No I can't even breathe in All this weight is on my mind mind mind Bridge I've got to go and find a way Yea I cannot give up This can't be something I can't take No no no Verse 3 I will not lose I'll be right back No matter how dark I saw the light man That's who I am they tried to test me That's a time in my life I'll never forget B See its clear that God don't give any more than you can handle So I light a new candle Every time it blow out See I live with no doubt There's a will there's a way I will make a way to get through everyday There's a will there's a way I will make a way to get through everyday There's a will there's a way I will make a way to get through everyday Malachite Weight
