Weight of the world on my back br And a chip on my shoulder br Mama dont worry about me br You know your son is a soldier br Weight of the world on my back br And even though I got the world on me br Lets make a toast and say the world owes me br I know Im misunderstood br So its good if you aint feelin' me br Man dont even listen br My pen and pad give me undivided attention br And witness all my deepest darkest scriptures br When I fell and felt I couldnt stand br I smacked out a helping hand br No one understands br Why I contemplated suicide br With a gun in my hand br I was ready to go to the Lord br Somewhere this stress could get absorbed br All my negative energy could get stored br Im only 29 but my eyes about 1000 years old br Ive seen people get their life tookin' br As if it wasnt of valuable gold br But through the pressure I hold br Are the masterpieces I moldbr br Michael Lamppbr br
