Heavy Songtext
von Madaila

American dream
See it every day, it′s tearin' at the seam
Probably because we see it′s all a lie so clearly
It's only money that they want
Eight, four, six
There has got to be a way that we can fix
This oppression and injustice that exists
Within our black and brown communities

Pour into the street, people rising
'Round the block, it stretches on and on and on
A sea of change to drown them out, them out

Broken system crashing down, can′t define
How much longer does he have to toe the line?
Feeling heavy now, feeling heavy now
He died in vain


Fast asleep in her apartment
Police department shoulder through
How is it po-po-possible there be no knock, no nothing
In the middle of the night?
Where′s the crime?
She's innocent, her life he spent, yet he is fined
And running free, be what he be
It′s all designed to better the white American man

Pour into the street, people rising
'Round the block, it stretches on and on and on
A sea of change to drown them out, them out

Broken system crashing down, can′t define
How much longer does she have to toe the line?
Feeling heavy now, feeling heavy now
She died in vain
Yeah, feeling heavy now, feeling heavy now
They died in vain
Yeah, they died in vain


(Feeling heavy now)
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
(Feeling heavy now)
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)

Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
