YC the CYNIC - The Heaviest Cross Lyrics
[Verse 1]I put out a song todayIt got both love and hateI only put my heart into itMy pulse got made into drum and bassI'm only expanding the human brainI only brought love to the human raceI only brought joy to the underpaidYour website rating was under 8Well ***** the numbers, I want reactionsIve fought the power, I'm multi-facetA trip to the Grammys they calling me classic. I ordered my suit in an orderly fashionIt took two years to create my shitAnd you just sit back and rate my shitYou only get love when you hate my shitAnd this is the thanks I get? Damn[Hook]We all got a got damn cross to bear(4x)[Verse 2]Moms had 3 kids to raiseAnd still went and got her masters2 jobs so the rent was paid. And I quit school tryna be a rapperUnderground slave tryna keep his mastersMomma dead prayed tryna make it happenAnd I can't say I don't believe it thatBut I will say that I worked my ass offWaited for the day I could take the backdoorNever had the key had to break the latch offDucking the federali attacks with a bat in a backpack if they unattach attack dogsVery last steps of a fallen manA&Rs giving me the song and danceHow I'm gone tell mom dukes I failedShit I might be her only hopeDamn[Hook]We all got a got damn cross to near(4x)[Verse 3]Young nigga done did the research. You ain't even knowYou just bought a new Che Guevara t-shirt. At least it ain't AmbercrombieMy ace boon coon organized the rallyU ain't even going. DamnI went with the shepherd to walk the valleyMy guardian gone like orphan AnnieI guess I'll fight for your child's equality, higher salary, dying economyCynic so nice what a bright anomaly. Threw a fist up tryna fight the cavalryDamnWho'll be the sacrifice in 3 days come back to life a new savior and king in his afterlife, accept fate do the same damn thing and sleep fast at night?Well[Hook]We all got a got damn cross to bear(4x)
