Heavy by Jussie Smollett (Empire Cast) Lyrics

All hail the king

They say heavy is a head that wear a crown, wears a crown
They say heavy is a head that wear a crown

Eh,
They say heavy is a head that wear a crown
Always use to think that was just a damn excuse
Something that the weak say cause they couldn’t hold it down
But now that I wear it I know that shit to be true

(no complaining now)

Daddy raise a soldier whether he do it or not
He supply the pain of booty and the music made it hot
Strong back, strong shoulder
Doesn’t hold enough
A lot of months I need just be support
Same time I’m at the top
And now I refuse to let my people down

[ chorus ]
I’m the boss, I’m the leader, damn it I am a lead
Even though I start to feel the real weight of this crown
Not just the crown
Feeling like this whole damn kingdom sitting on top me yeah

(oo, sitting on top of me, sitting of top of me)
Sit-sitting on top of me
(sitting of top of me yeah)
Feeling like this whole damn kingdom sitting on top me yeah
(oo, sitting of top of me)
And imma carry it on my back to victory
(sitting of top of me yeah)
Even though this whole damn kingdom sitting on top me

(oo, heavy)
Heavy my head more frequent
I gotta make sure that my entire empire is eating
You cant explain defeat to somebody that’s never been beaten
So that means no surrender and no retreating

Everything so weak
Everybody want every winner go weak
Is he gonna fail, is he gonna succeed
Everybody keep watching and watching carefully, its your world
I’m strong, I’m holding up a lot
I’m underneath this bitch suppose
Same time I’m at the top

[ chorus ]
And now I refuse to let my people down
I’m the boss, I’m the leader, damn it I am a lead
Even though I start to feel the real weight of this crown
Not just the crown
Feeling like this whole damn kingdom sitting on top me yeah

(oo, sitting on top of me, sitting of top of me)
Sit-sitting on top of me
(sitting of top of me yeah)
Feeling like this whole damn kingdom sitting on top me yeah
(oo, sitting of top of me)
And I’m going carrying it on my back to victory
(sitting of top of me yeah)
Even though this whole damn kingdom sitting on top me
(oo, sitting on top of me, sitting of top of me)
Sit-sitting on top of me
(oo, sitting on top of me, sitting of top of me)
Sit-sitting on top of me
(oo, sitting on top of me, sitting of top of me)
And imma carry it on my back to victory
(oo, sitting on top of me, sitting of top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdom sitting on top me
