Heavy as Feathers is a whirlwind tour through Rome’s sometimes cocaine addled mind. On the track Rome lays out his bad habits and tries to understand his desires. In the end, Rome finds himself questioning his own sanity as to whether he has real problems, or if they’re just in his imagination.
[Hook]
Sniffed a bunch of cocaine last night
The previous night said it was my last night
The previous night said it was my last night
Key to the nose turn the ignition to the fast life
[Verse 1]
I'm knee deep
Hey, knee deep in bad vibes
Nameless, industry is a bad guy
That guy see me
Put the devil all around me
Just to please me
I can't act right
I want me some model bitches
I got me some model bitches
Forget why I had wanted them
After I fucked all them bitches
[Pre-Hook]
Why do we pray for these things
Why do we pray for these things
[Hook]
Sniffed a bunch of cocaine last night
The previous night said it was my last night
The previous night said it was my last night
Key to the nose turn the ignition to the fast life
[Verse 2]
Why me?
Why me? is what I asked God
Temptation destroyed my passion
But this try I'm so close
To getting my mama a Porsche
And getting my sons what they want
[Bridge]
Keep it together Rome (Its all in your head)
Your burdens are heavy as feathers Rome (Its all in your head)
Keep it together Rome (Its all in your head)
Your burdens are heavy as feather Rome (Its all in your head)
You're so close
Don't blow it (Its all in your head)
Don't blow it (Its all in your head)
Don't blow it (Its all in your head)
So close
Shit
[Pre-Hook]
Why do we pray for these things
Why do we pray for these things
Why do we pray for these things
(Its all in your head, its all in your head)
[Verse 3]
Yah, yah
Look, look
So close to what I'm dreaming
I wake up in sweats I'm thinking
I dapped with my greatest demons
My demons said "What up Rome?"
This is the day Rome
And I'm funky like cold Medina
My call log is going off
From black bitches, white ones
Asian ones to new Latina
I can't smoke no reefer
So I line it up and sniff it
Cocaine don't stay longer than three days
So the system I got to cheat it
I might get drug tested
My P.O.'s a piece of shit
But back to the point
Motherfuckers think I made it
But I'm making it a point
To make me an appointment to stay employed
But these fools ain't better than me
Man I be overjoyed
If you could pick one
So I could get some
Clarity on why I ain't the nigga with the lump sums
A change I should've attained already
Then I'll forget 'cause this good shit hit my brain already
Damn
[Outro]
Yeah
(Its all in your head)
You ever sniffed some good shit off a chick's breast?
You'd be surprised how quickly you forget steps
Be surprised how quickly you forget all your priorities
You be like
(Its all in your head)
Yah
What the fuck?
What was my priorities?
Yes, huh
Yeah shit
(Its all in your head)
(Its all in your head)
(Its all in your head)
(Its all in your head)
(Its all in your head)
(Its all in your head)
(Its all in your head)
(Its all in your head)
