Empire Cast ft. Jussie Smollett - Heavy Lyrics

All hail the King

They say heavy is the head that wears the crown, wears the crown
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown

Eehh (let's go)
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown (crown)
Always used to think that that was just some damn excuse
Something that the weak say 'cause they couldn't hold it down (down)
But now that I wear it I know that shit to be true
(No complainin' now)
Daddy raise a soldier whether he do it or not
He supplied the pain and put it in the music, made it hot
(Strong back, strong shoulders)
'Cause I'm holdin up a lot
I'm underneath this be supportin'
Same time I'm at the top! (Woooo!)

And I refuse to let my people down
I'm the boss, I'm the leader, dammit I'ma lead
Even though I'm startin' to feel the real weight of this crown
Not just the crown

Feelin' like this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me yeah (ooh sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me (sittin' on top of me)
Feelin' like this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me yeah (ooh sittin' on top of me)
And I'ma carry it on my back until victory (sittin' on top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdom sittin' on top of me (ooh heavy)

Head in my hands, more frequent
I gotta make sure that my entire empire's eatin'
You can't explain defeat to somebody that's never been beaten (aww nah)
So that means no surrenderin' and no retreatin'
Every thing's on me (hey)
Everybody wonderin' what it's gonna be (hey)
Is he gonna fail, is he gonna succeed?
Everybody keep watchin' and watchin' carefully
I'ma show the world I'm strong (I'm strong)
And I'm holdin' up a lot
I'm underneath this be supportin'
Same time I'm at the top (woo!)

And I refuse to let my people down
I'm the boss, I'm the leader, dammit I'ma lead
Even though I'm startin' to feel the real weight of this crown
Not just the crown

Feelin' like this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me yeah (ooh sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me (sittin' on top of me)
Feelin' like this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me yeah (ooh sittin' on top of me)
And I'ma carry it on my back until victory (sittin' on top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me (ooh sittin' on top, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me (ooh sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me (ooh sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
And I'ma carry it on my back until victory (ooh sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me
