WEIGHT OF THE WORLD* Lyrics

Lyrics from snippet

[Chorus: Joba]
Always stay by me, amen
[?] pass me again
The weight of the world rests on my shoulders
Day by day, only getting older
First they calling again
Let's rewind it, pretend
And we both know what we were in for
Way back when, if you remember

[Verse: 1 Kevin Abstract]
Snakes in the grass, it's like air 'fore I want it
My great grandma told you that we was gon' be a lot of trouble
Way before I was born, man, some time to pay
To my auntie [?], took for granted, [?]
I crashed before I evеn had one drink
My lowest points werе formed standing at the sink
I gotta hide these tears just like a G
My niggas cannot see me, dawg
You and me, know I see
Finna be on TV, dawg, and say
La, la, run 'em out the room
Gimme, gimme bags
Want some bags and a purse
Gimme, gimme [?]
Gimme, gimme [?]
Running fast and a [?]
I feel like I'm blending, feel like I'm blending in too much
In this motherfucking town, town, town
I feel like I'm blending, feel like I'm blending, blending, blending
Blending, am I just like you?
[Verse 2: Matt Champion]
Custom wallet
I want your names all printed on me
I'm at the movie to put it on me
I got some sodas for all you fuckers
[?] some gossip
I want some property by the ocean
[?] don't even see the roadies
Back when we kicked it on driveway
Even the people were blasé
Let in the [?] highway
[?]
I know your baby just called me
We care 'bout money, it's all day
We care 'bout money, it's all day

[Chorus: Joba]
Always stay by me, amen
[?] again
The weight of the world rests on my shoulders
Day by day, only getting older
First day [?] again
Let's rewind it, pretend
And we both know what we were in for
Way back when, if you remember
