letra de hold that weight - samora pinderhughes

Loading...

i came upon a man
who carried in his hands
all of his years at the factory plant
at minimum wage
through many a stage
of dreams and love and sorrow
he asked if i could spare
a pair of my walking shoes
to help him climb the hills that still
lay in his life
something he could wear
to carry all his cares
hold up his iron will
a day, maybe tomorrow

he wanted to lay down
he wanted to test the crown
i placed myself at his feet
and said
whatever you need
he said practice what you preach

yes i
will hold that weight
i’ll hold that weight for you
yes i
will hold that weight
i’ll hold that weight for you

i came upon a man
who carried in his fists
all of the violence
that happened to him
through many a day
he locked it away
and hardened his flesh like
no weapon could prosper
they put him in a cage
and said it was his fate
to rot with the rest
but he got out in eight
he puts on a mask, now
to cover his rage
cause red and blue lights
might look twice
and bring the chopper today

he wanted to break down
he wanted to test the crown
i said how do we defeat
a state
that do evil deeds
he said practice what you preach

yes i
will hold that weight
i’ll hold that weight for you
yes i…
will hold that weight
i’ll hold that weight for you

i had daydreams
ways of freedom
what it might be
maybe i see
working ways out
