Weight Lyrics by Syntax junkies

Syntax Junkies L​.​P

2017

[Verse 1: NERVE]
Yo
It's another day and I'm just another waste of space
Another race away too late to make the gates
Another player who hates the game
You pay for fame while I'm breaking in my trainers just to make the train
I be saving change but i ain't seeing any
'Cause two cents from a snake doesn't mean a penny
You looking fake and you seeming petty
And I can see it in your face you're gonna break if you don't see confetti
You writing bars about the weight of your vest
While i be scribing psalms just to keep that weight off my chest
A blade, I'm depressed
Drain it all the way with a pen
On the rail station to station where my brain is at rest
Maybe I'm vexed, maybe I'm deranged and a pest
Maybe I'm waiting on an angel who can take me to death
But everyday I'm blessing pages to refrain from the stress
And get away from medication that they claim is the best
Don't need a razors edge to let loose the pain from this recluses brain
'Cause my pen shoots the flames and I rep truth on stage
I'm the next dude to break from a dead useless game
So I get through the day and I send you away
And with the the earth sitting on my neck
I be looking at civilians with a shiver of resent
I see militants eliminating children for a check
And conditions of the system got me wishing we were dead

[Chorus: NERVE]
When the sun rises up in the east
I pray that one day I'll be living out the dreams I crave
And when the sun sets down in the west
I pray the weight of the word doesn't break my neck today
So just weight, just weight
Cause one day my knees will buckle and my breath will fade
So just weight, just weight
While I'm carrying the earth upon my neck today

[Verse 2: Spekter]
Another day, another coffin, another name forgotten
There's another hundred ways for you to run away from problems
I love the shape this horrid summerscape has gotten
Its like the sun escaped and now we numb the pain with toxins
The drugs drugs we're taking are rotten, suffocating on vomit
A hundred days into sodom and nothing's changing or stopping
Uppercutting your face till my knuckles stuck in their place
You can crumble under the weight or you mumble something in vain
And while you're sitting at your mates place blazing shard
I'm chilling in this trailer park trying to name a bar
'Cause life is easy but we make it hard
So you better train your heart
More people should take acid and play guitar
I live in prisons of vivid syllables spinning in wicked visual this isn't simple spitting in rhythm
You're giving in to the system and pinching kids for commission
The decision isnt as hidden as your principal thinks it is
We didn't come this far to get pushed back down We got the city in our corner don't, look back now
A lot of good cats turned hoodrats and look cracked out
But thats the way the Earth turns when you put tracks down
'Cause these days I feel my backing aching and curl
Trying to save the girl carrying the weight of the world
Like superman if spitting rhymes was his kryptonite
Making dope tunes in a phone booth thats equipped with mics

[Chorus: NERVE]
When the sun rises up in the east
I pray that one day I'll be living out the dreams I crave
And when the sun sets down in the west
I pray the weight of the word doesn't break my neck today
So just weight, just weight
Cause one day my knees will buckle and my breath will fade
So just weight, just weight
While I'm carrying the earth upon my neck today
