Album: Heavy Is The Head

Track No: 03

Searchin' every corner of my mind
Lookin' for the answers I can't find
I have my reasons and life has its lessons
I try to be grateful and count all my blessings
But heavy is the head that wears the crown
Amen in Jesus' name, yes, I declare it
Any little seed I receive, I haffi share it
Brothers wanna break me down, I can't bare it
But heavy is the head with the crown, I still wear it
You can't hold me down, I still cope
Rain falling down at the BRIT's, I'm still soaked
Try and put a whole in our shit, we'll build boats
Two birds with one stone, I pull both
Pray I never lose and pray I never hit the shelf
Promise if I do that, you'll be checkin' on my health
If it's for my people, I'll do anything to help
If I do it out of love, it's not to benefit myself
Ooh, gotta stay around but make a comeback, too
I know my only mother wants her son back, too
They sayin' I'm the voice of the young Black youth
And then, I say, "Yeah, cool", and then, I bun my zute
And now, I'm
Searchin' every corner of my mind
Search every corner, look for the answers
Lookin' for the answers I can't find
No, I can't find them, no silver lining
I have my reasons and life has its lessons
I try to be grateful and count all my blessings
But heavy is the head that wears the crown
Amen in Jesus' name, oh, yes, I claim it
Any little bread that I make, I have to break it
Brothers wanna break me down, I can't take it
I done a scholarship for the kids, they said it's racist
That's not anti-white, it's pro-Black
Hang me out to dry, I won't crack
All these fancy ties and gold plaques
Never had no silver spoons in our mouths
We sold, like
Don't comment on my culture, you ain't qualified
Stab us in the back and then apologise
If you knew my story, you'd be horrified
The irony of trappin' on a Boris bike
Gotta stay alive and save my brother as well
Look at all these legends on the cover of Elle
Long time comin', but we've come to prevail
Oh, I guess a little bit of Heaven has to come with the Hell, you know?
Searchin' every corner of my mind
Search every corner, look for the answers
Lookin' for the answers I can't find
No, I can't find them, no silver lining
I have my reasons and life has its lessons
I try to be grateful and count all my blessings
But heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
