The Weight
• Written by DiamonD-D3Z
Intro]
It’s not just pressure…
It’s the silence, the eyes, the fear you can’t name.
[Verse 1]
Walkin’ with names on my back like a chain,
Ancestors hum in my blood through the pain.
Every “make it out” was a dare to defy,
But making it costs more than just getting by.
It’s the weight of the “why,” the cost of the dream,
The family who hopes, the ones who believe.
So I move with a purpose, not just for the win —
But for every closed door I had to break in.
[Pre-Chorus]
Heavy is the crown — but heavier the soul,
When you carry more than just your role.
[Chorus]
The weight don’t crush — it carves the shape,
Turns fire to focus, and loss to faith.
I hold the world that tried to forget,
But I rise with it all — no regret.
[Verse 2]
Generations whisper through the wind I chase,
Telling me: “don’t fold, don’t waste this place.”
So I breathe in deep, and I stand up tall,
'Cause the weight ain’t chains — it’s a sacred call.
A legacy’s built on the backs of the bold,
And I carry the stories that were never told.
So every step forward, I plant with intent,
Knowing this weight? It’s heaven-sent.
[Chorus]
The weight don’t crush — it carves the shape,
Turns fire to focus, and loss to faith.
I hold the world that tried to forget,
But I rise with it all — no regret.
[Verse 3]
I don’t just carry dreams — I carry their names,
The ones who were silenced, the ones bound in chains.
Each step is a vow, each breath a decree,
That I’ll break every cycle that tried to break me.
This ain’t just mine — it’s bigger, it’s wide,
It's the prayers of my people I keep at my side.
So I don’t fold when the burden gets tight,
'Cause the weight I hold is my birthright.
[Chorus]
The weight don’t crush — it carves the shape,
Turns fire to focus, and loss to faith.
I hold the world that tried to forget,
But I rise with it all — no regret.
[Verse 4]
I used to curse the load, now I carry it proud,
Armor made of pressure while they’re chasing the crowd.
This path ain’t smooth — it’s sharp, it’s steep,
But the deeper the wound, the louder it speaks.
I walk with ghosts who still dream through me,
Every “no” I flipped became a legacy key.
So if the weight’s heavy, then I’m built to bend,
I ain’t here to break — I was made to transcend.
Chorus]
The weight don’t crush — it carves the shape,
Turns fire to focus, and loss to faith.
I hold the world that tried to forget,
But I rise with it all — no regret.
[Outro]
So if I shake? It’s from power, not fear,
The weight made me whole — and I’m still here.
