The Weight Of Us Both

Hell lay down; I’m on fire now.
I got rosary beads tided around my knees getting higher some how.
And when I leapt, I only took a single step.
When I landed I was cured like cement.

Heaven don’t tempt us now,
Cause we’ve got to much to do and to much to lose to be slowing down.
So I keep both feet on the ground,
Keep my head and my heart stuck in the clouds.

But I did this so you would know
That you’ll never, no never be alone
And I carry you in my soul
And I carry, The Weight Of Us Both.

Man I am starting to like my odds,
Said I am done playing God, that’s someone else's job
We didn’t get caught we got robbed.
Couldn’t hustle a hustle you can only skim of the top.

But I did this so you would know
That you’ll never, no never be alone
And I carry you in my soul
And I carry, The Weight Of Us Both.

If I would have known all I know now… I still wouldn’t put it down
I would have seen who I would be I wouldn’t recognize me.

I did this so you would know that you’ll never be alone.
And I carry you in my soul, I carry the weight of us both.
