Sometimes I feel the weight of the world
And it's so heavy and it's bringin' me down

(Uh, wake up, wake up, uh, uh)
Wake up to another day
Gotta get to work, gotta get the big pay
I got car, notes and rent and the other nonsense
That's slowly turning me into a slave

But it's okay because I look good
I got the best clothes and the best neighborhood
And that's what it's about the American dream
We in the rat race but the rats want cream

In an obscene amount more than I can count
So I won't recognize that I'm drownin' deep
In the oceans of life my breath full of strife
And my headaches, the stress just poundin' me down

Hear comes the tears of a clown
The hottest name in the whole town this time
But the frown that's inside is hidden by my pride
'Cause everything I want is mine

But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
And it's so heavy and it's bringin' me down
But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
And it's so heavy and it's bringin' me down
(But I gotta get up, I gotta get up)

Wake up to another day
Gotta peek out just make sure it's safe
'Cause these times are changin' and reshapin'
Into somethin' I can't face and it feels strange

We got religious people judging the whole world
We got pimps and hoes, once boys and girls
We got the media tellin' us whose to blame
But whose the media who's really running the game?

Gotta get up, gotta shake it off
'Cause life is long as an unsung song in the dark
I'm gettin' confused, I'm getting upset
Things don't work out, I'm hunting a check

Regret is creeping up my window
My life is reachin' a crescendo
I gotta numb it with drank and endo
Not chasin' a dream, I'm wastin' time
'Cause everything I want is mine

But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
And it's so heavy and it's bringin' me down
But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
And it's so heavy and it's bringin' me down
(But I gotta get up, I gotta get up)

I'm havin' a great day, everything's okay
I'm doing fine just don't look in my eyes
I'm havin' a great day, everything's okay
I'm doing fine just don't look in my eyes, oh, no

I gotta get up, I gotta get up
I gotta get up, I gotta get up
I gotta get up, I gotta get up
I gotta get up, I gotta get up

I gotta get up, I gotta get up
I gotta get up, I gotta get up
I gotta get up, I gotta get up
I gotta get up, I gotta get up

But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
And it's so heavy and it's bringin' me down
But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
And it's so heavy and it's bringin' me down

But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
And it's so heavy and it's bringin' me down
But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
And it's so heavy and it's bringin' me down

This weight of the world is bringin' me down
Weight of world is bringin' me down
