LYRICS

作曲 : Marcus D. Williams
Alarm at five, boots hit the floor
House still dark, I'm out that door
Cold air bite, engine turn
Whole damn world on my shoulders burn
Bills on the table, names in my head
Kids need shoes, momma needs bread
Daddy gettin' older, can't lift that weight
So I lift it for him, that's my fate
No applause when the sun come up
Just black coffee in a steel cup
I don't cry, I don't complain
I just carry it again and again
Load, load, load my bag
Every day I'm walkin' that track
Wake with it, lay with it, sleep with it
To do what a real man's supposed to do
No parade, no spotlight shine
Just this pressure down my spine
You say it's never enough for you
But I'm holdin' up this whole damn roof
You say I'm distant, say I don't care
Say I don't see you standin' there
Say I don't text, don't talk enough
Don't hold you long when life gets rough
You see the silence, you don't see the fight
The numbers runnin' through my mind at night
You feel the space when I go quiet
I feel the storm I keep inside it
I ain't built for soft replies
I'm built for storms and sacrifice
You want romance, roses in time
I'm makin' sure the lights still shine
Load, load, load my bag
Every day I'm walkin' that track
Wake with it, lay with it, sleep with it
To do what a real man's supposed to do
No parade, no spotlight shine
Just this pressure down my spine
You say it's never enough for you
But I'm holdin' up this whole damn roof
When I lay down, I don't rest
Still count the weight inside my chest
Dreamin' numbers, wakin' to fire
Fuel the house, feed the desire
I don't need thanks, I don't need praise
Just know I'm burnin' up my days
Load, load, load my bag
Still I ain't steppin' off this track
Wake with it, lay with it, sleep with it
To do what a real man's supposed to do
Call it cold, call it tough
Call it distant, call it rough
You may never see my proof
But I'm the one holdin' up this roof
Roof, roof, roof, holdin' up this roof
Holdin' up, holdin', holdin' up this roof
Roof, roof, roof, holdin' up this roof
Holdin' up this roof
