From the recording Soul in Binary 2
Lyrics
The bills, the court fees, the drama, they form the weight of the world.
The cheating, low pay, and poverty, they form the weight of the world.
The taxes, the liens, foreclosures, they form the weight of the world.
Give me your shoulder and here’s mine, and we’ll face the weight of the world.
Alarm clock screams before the sun learns my name,
Coffee tastes like yesterday’s regret and unpaid pain.
Clocking dreams for overtime, selling hours for a check,
Smile stitched tight, hope bent but not broken yet.
Rent due, faith tested, numbers talking loud,
Promises from suits rain thin on the crowd.
Hands calloused from surviving, spine bowed but aware,
I breathe through the pressure, still standing right here.
Pain, lies, lows, highs, the evil that denies
The truth to the whys, dressed up in ties.
But sparks live in ashes, resolve in the hurt,
We rise from the dirt with the grit we’ve earned.
The bills, the court fees, the drama, they form the weight of the world.
The cheating, low pay, and poverty, they form the weight of the world.
The taxes, the liens, foreclosures, they form the weight of the world.
Give me your shoulder and here’s mine, and we’ll face the weight of the world.
Outro
If we bend, we don’t break—together we hold
The weight of the world, till the weight lets go.
