Heavy

Heavy est une chanson chantée dans l'épisode L'Histoire en marche par Jamal Lyon.

N'étant pas satisfait par le résultat de sa chanson, Jamal demande l'avis de Cookie qui l'aide à modifier et embelir la chanson. Plus tard, Jamal la joue dans la session live de Huey Jarvis.

Cette chanson est visé envers lui-même car, après que Lucious soit partie en prison, Jamal est devenu détestable avec ses proches et s'en est rendu compte. Il dit donc qu'il a pris la grosse tête à cause de la couronne ("*They say heavy is the head that wears the crown*")

Cette chanson est la 11ème de l'album Empire : Original Soundtrack from Season 2, Volume 1 et est interprétée par Jussie Smollett.

## Paroles

All hail the King

They say heavy is the head that wears the crown, wears the crown
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown

Eeehhhh (let's go)
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown (crown)
Always used to think that that was just some damn excuse
Something that the weak say cause they couldn't hold it down (down)
But now that I wear it I know that shit to be true
No complainin' now
Daddy raise a soldier whether he knew it or not
He supplied the pain and put it in the music, made it hot
Strong back, strong shoulders
Cause I'm holdin up a lot
I'm underneath this be supportin'
Same time I'm at the top! (woooo!)

And I refuse to let my people down
I'm the boss, I'm the leader, damnit I'ma lead
Even though I'm startin' to feel the real weight of this crown
Not just the crown

Feelin' like this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me yeah (oooo sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me (sittin' on top of me)
Feelin' like this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me yeah (ooooo sittin' on top of me)
And I'ma carry it on my back until victory (sittin' on top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdom sittin' on top of me (ooooh heavy)

Head in my hands, more frequent
I gotta make sure that my entire empire's eatin'
You can't explain defeat to sombody that's never been beaten (awww nah)
So that means no surrenderin' and no retreatin'
Everythings on me (hey)
Everybody wonderin' what it's gonna be (hey)
Is he gonna fail, is he gonna succeed?
Everybody keep watchin' and watchin' carefully
I'ma show the world I'm strong (I'm strong)
And I'm holdin' up a lot
I'm underneath this be supportin'
Same time I'm at the top (wooo!)

And I refuse to let my people down
I'm the boss, I'm the leader, damnit I'ma lead
Even though I'm startin' to feel the real weight of this crown
Not just the crown

Feelin' like this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me yeah (ooooo sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me (sittin' on top of me)
Feelin' like this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me yeah (oooo sittin' on top of me)
And I'ma carry it on my back until victory (sittin' on top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me (oooo sittin' on top, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me (oooo sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Sit-sittin' on top of me (oooo sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
And I'ma carry it on my back until victory (oooo sittin' on top of me, sittin' on top of me)
Even though this whole damn kingdoms sittin' on top of me
