Weight of the Throne

Yeah…

They love the throne,

but they don’t feel the weight Uh

Heavy is the head that be wearin’ the crown

Smiles on my face but I’m carryin’ pounds World on my back,

can’t be breakin’ me down

Silence get loud when there’s nobody ‘round

Heavy is the head,

yeah the pressure don’t stop

Gotta stand tall when it’s all ‘bout to drop

They want the throne but don’t know what it cost

You win the crown,

you don’t ever get lost

They see the gold,

they don’t see all the scars

They see the glow,

they don’t know who you are

Late nights, cold fights,

talkin’ to the dark Tryna keep a flame while you carry the

spark

Every move watched, every word gotta count Even friends turn fake when

you sit at the mount Trust get thin when the stakes get

high Everybody eatin’ but they want your slice

I been holdin’ it down,

ain’t no passin’ the blame

When you sit on the throne,

it’s attached to your name

Every loss hit harder

when you playin’ for keeps Can’t afford one slip when the whole

world watch me

Heavy is the head that be wearin’ the crown

Smiles on my face but I’m carryin’ pounds World on my back,

can’t be breakin’ me down

Silence get loud when there’s nobody ‘round Heavy is the head,

yeah the pressure don’t stop

Gotta stand tall when it’s all ‘bout to drop

They want the throne but don’t know what it cost

You win the crown,

you don’t ever get lost

I done seen loyalty fade into dust Seen brothers turn rivals over

power and trust It’s a lonely road when you leadin’ the pack

No one to lean on when you carry it back Every crown

got thorns that dig in your skin Every win come close to

the edge of a sin

Sacrifice pieces just to keep it intact Lose a part of your

soul just to never look back They don’t teach you the weight

when you dream of the top

How the air get thin,

how your heart don’t stop How the silence scream louder than the

applause How the victory bittersweet ‘cause you know what it cost

If I fall, who gon’ stand in my place?

If I break, who gon’ carry the weight?

Ain’t no rest when you holdin’ the fate

Of everything that you built from the pain

Heavy is the head that be wearin’ the crown

Smiles on my face but I’m carryin’ pounds

World on my back,

can’t be breakin’ me down

Still I stand tall,

I won’t let ‘em see doubt

Heavy is the head,

but I’m built for the throne

Even when it feel like I’m fightin’ alone Pressure make diamonds,

I’m carved out of stone

If I carry the crown,

then I carry it home

Yeah…

They want the crown… But they don’t want

the weight
