Tea's Weight

Lyrics

Verse 1
Tea got scars from the rain
Held it in, never spoke the pain
Lost so many, still took the blow
Kept my face on, ice cold flow

My brother locked for life, that sentence heavy
Water left too soon, that day still sweaty
Ebony, Kiki, William gone
Johnathan, Mont, now I sing on

My cousin Snake really fed me up
Trust got cracked, I filled my cup
The streets ain’t know my day ones well
They knew my face, never knew my hell

Pre-Chorus
Twists and turns, I took them all
Heartbreak made my voice stand tall
Now I look back, I see the cost
So many names, so much lost

Chorus
Tea been through it
Tea been through it
Cold heart, still moving
Tea been through it

F da streets
And the ones that speak
Loyal to the end
Others move weak

Tea been through it
Tea been through it
I won’t fold, I’m here
Tea been through it

Verse 2
I went up, then I fell again
Back on my feet, had to walk through pain
Every loss left a crack in me
Still I breathe for the family

No where to turn, I learned that quick
Smile in the storm, that’s my kind of trick
They talk on names, but they don’t know
What it cost me just to not let go

I kept it real when the room went fake
Gave love hard, then I watched it break
Now I guard my peace like a loaded gate
If you missed the boat, you missed my fate

Bridge
Say their names when the night gets long
Say their names, keep the memory strong
From the dirt to the hurt, I rise
With a fire in my chest and tears in my eyes

Chorus
Tea been through it
Tea been through it
Cold heart, still moving
Tea been through it

F da streets
And the ones that speak
Loyal to the end
Others move weak

Tea been through it
Tea been through it
I won’t fold, I’m here
Tea been through it
