Heavy is the head
that wears the crown
Out front
sittin’ pretty
laden with responsibility
just because I can be
The one who’s able
to respond
to get shit done
Well I’m done
being the one
to bend and to break
with the waves
the ones that rage
and rage and rise
the one to assuage the arrows that fly,
fly on by and never stop.
Strength over fear
gurl, hit that high gear
Put it into over drive
because you’ve got that drive
That dream that
makes you prance and preen.
Yes, girl, you a queen
You got that can’t stop
won’t stop
slay it
kill it
never quit
No rest for the weary
eyes weak and bleary
Quitting’s not an option
And, heavy
heavy
heavy is the head that wears the crown.
