[Verse 1]
I need a fix but not what you think
There's no green, no drink
I need a sip of positive things, nah
No trips, real dreams
I need a dose of nothing you roll up
I'm on the clock this time
And when I'm all done and had a war won
You know I get real high so

[Bridge]
How do I get through?
Yeah, no sweat off my back, yeah
How do we get through this?
Life's real but that's what we live for

[Chorus]
Come heavy as lead won't let nobody ever take me down, oh
Hold steady my head when the world is crumbling all around, oh
No pressure, no stress, I'm better, I'm best when dark surrounds, oh
Come hеavy as lead won't let nobody evеr take me down, oh

[Verse 2]
Hold up, hold up, can we take a minute?
Can we post up, post up?
Gather our strength
Can we roll up, roll up?
All the inner troubles
Let it burn up, burn up
Watch it rise through the air
And let it brighten up the sky tonight
We got a real light and we prepared
And to my people, yeah, it's dark tonight
We got a real light and we're not scared
[Bridge]
How do I get through?
Yeah, no sweat off my back, yeah
How do we get through this?
Life's real but that's what we live for

[Chorus]
Come heavy as lead won't let nobody ever take me down, oh
Hold steady my head when the world is crumbling all around, oh
No pressure, no stress, I'm better, I'm best when dark surrounds, oh
Come heavy as lead won't let nobody ever take me down, oh

[Interlude]
Woah, oh-woah, oh-oh, oh-oh, ah, oh
Woah, oh-woah, oh-oh, oh-oh, ah
Life's real but this is what we live for

[Chorus]
Come heavy as lead won't let nobody ever take me down, oh
Hold steady my head when the world is crumbling all around, oh
No pressure, no stress, I'm better, I'm best when dark surrounds, oh
Come heavy as lead won't let nobody ever take me down, oh
