Heavy Lyrics by Empire Cast

Empire: The Complete Season 2

0

[Intro: Jussie Smollett]
All hail the King
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown (Wears the crown)
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown
Aye (Let's go)

[Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown (Crown)
Always used to think that that was just some damn excuse
Something that the weak say
'Cause they couldn't hold it down (Down)
But now that I wear it, I know that shit to be true
No complainin' now
Daddy raised a soldier, whether he knew it or not
He supplied the pain, I put it in the music, made it hot
Strong back, strong shoulders

[Pre-Chorus: Jussie Smollett]
'Cause I'm holdin' up a lot
I'm underneath this bitch supportin'
Same time I'm at the top! (Woo!)
And I refuse to let my people down
I'm the boss, I'm the leader, damnit, I'ma lead
Even though I'm startin' to feel the real weight of this crown
Not just the crown

[Chorus: Jussie Smollett]
Feelin' like this whole damn kingdom's sittin' on top of me, yeah (Ooh, sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me (Sittin' on top of me)
Feelin' like this whole damn kingdom's sittin' on top of me, yeah (Ooh, sittin' on top of me)
And I'ma carry it on my back until victory (Sittin' on top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdom sittin' on top of me
(Ooh, heavy)

[Verse 2: Jussie Smollett]
Head in my hands, more frequent
I gotta make sure that my entire empire's eatin'
You can't explain defeat to somebody that's never been beaten (Aww, nah)
So that means no surrenderin' and no retreatin'
Everything's on me (Hey)
Everybody wonderin' what it's gonna be (Hey)
Is he gonna fail? Is he gonna succeed?
Everybody keep watchin' and watchin' carefully
I'ma show the world
I'm strong (I'm strong)

[Pre-Chorus: Jussie Smollett]
And I'm holdin' up a lot
I'm underneath this bitch supportin'
Same time I'm at the top (Woo!)
And I refuse to let my people down
I'm the boss I'm the leader, damnit, I'ma lead
Even though I'm startin' to feel the real weight of this crown
Not just the crown

[Chorus:Jussie Smollett]
Feelin' like this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me yeah (Ooh, sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me (Sittin' on top of me)
Feelin' like this whole damn kingdom's sittin' on top of me, yeah (Ooh, sittin' on top of me)
And I'ma carry it on my back until victory (Sittin' on top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdom's sittin' on top of me
(Ooh, sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)

[Outro: Jussie Smollett]
Sit-sittin' on top of me
(Ooh, sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me
(Ooh, sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
And I'ma carry it on my back until victory
(Ooh, sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me
