Under the Weight

[Verse 1]
They want a trophy smile
I got a split-hour mind
Every door swings open
Then the door slams hard behind

Fresh shoes on the floor
Old fear in my chest
I signed my name in fire
Now I sleep in a test

[Pre-Chorus]
And the higher I climb
The harder I breathe
But I learned this weight
Was made for me

[Chorus]
Under the weight, I stand
Under the weight, I rise
Take what it takes, I can
I’m still here, still alive
Under the weight, I stand
Under the weight, I fight
If the road burns out my hands
I’ll hold on with all my might

[Verse 2]
More eyes at the door now
More calls in the night
More people say my name
Like they own my life

I taste every win
With a little bit of grit
Every “almost broke”
Turned into “I’m built from it”

[Pre-Chorus]
And the higher I climb
The harder I breathe
But I learned this weight
Was made for me

[Chorus]
Under the weight, I stand
Under the weight, I rise
Take what it takes, I can
I’m still here, still alive
Under the weight, I stand
Under the weight, I fight
If the road burns out my hands
I’ll hold on with all my might

[Bridge]
Let it pull, let it press
Let it test my name
Every scar I carry
Says I came to tame the flame

I’ve been bent, I’ve been bruised
Still I’m moving through
What was meant to break me
Made me stronger in the view

[Final Chorus]
Under the weight, I stand
Under the weight, I rise
Take what it takes, I can
I’m still here, still alive
Under the weight, I stand
Under the weight, I fight
If the road burns out my hands
I’ll hold on with all my might

Under the weight, I stand
Under the weight, I rise
I was made for the push
I was built to survive
