Lyrics
Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Yeah
Chorus
I been carryin' weight that ain't mine to hold
Mama prayin' while I'm out in the cold
They don't know what it cost me to make it home
They don't know
They don't know
Verse 1
Twelve years old with a grown man's worry
Rent due Friday and the fridge lookin' empty
I ain't never ask nobody for a favor
Just learned how to hustle in a hurry
Brother on the block sayin' stay down
I was fourteen ridin' with him through the town
Cops pull up and my heart start poundin'
We ain't stop we just kept on drivin'
Pre-Chorus
And I seen things that'll make you numb
Lost a couple friends to a trigger and a sum
So I keep my circle small and my door shut
Tell 'em I'm good even when I'm not
Chorus
I been carryin' weight that ain't mine to hold
Mama prayin' while I'm out in the cold
They don't know what it cost me to make it home
They don't know
They don't know
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
They don't know
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 2
Phone blowin' up but I ain't pick up
Been in my feelings I been stuck
Everything changed when the money came
Now they actin' like they always been around
I don't trust it no I don't trust a soul
Seen a man smile while he plottin' on your gold
So I move quiet keep my business to myself
Ain't no tellin' who gon' fold
Pre-Chorus
And I seen things that'll make you numb
Lost a couple friends to a trigger and a sum
So I keep my circle small and my door shut
Tell 'em I'm good even when I'm not
Chorus
I been carryin' weight that ain't mine to hold
Mama prayin' while I'm out in the cold
They don't know what it cost me to make it home
They don't know
They don't know
Bridge
If I told you half of it you wouldn't believe
All the nights I couldn't sleep
All the promises I couldn't keep
Lord forgive me I was just tryna eat
Chorus
I been carryin' weight that ain't mine to hold
Mama prayin' while I'm out in the cold
They don't know what it cost me to make it home
They don't know
They don't know
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
They don't know
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
