The heavy head wears the crown
But it's never gonna bring me down
'Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
The heavy head wears the crown
But it's never gonna bring me down
'Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
I could throw it away
I could leave it all behind, it's all the same
Yeah, I remember when I started back in ninety-five
I was just a bright-eyed white guy
All I ever had to do was make beats and write rhymes
From the days of no Wi-Fi and high-fives
Look how time flies by you'd think I had nine lives
When I was on the come up they would celebrate it
Then they started hating when I finally started elevating
Now they try to twist my words up to try to bring me down
Like, "I said, don't even wanna say it now"
Even local press try to eat it up
And that was cheap as fuck, but anything for a buck
I don't do this for the money or respect
I get enough of both of them, I'm just waiting to go collect
You get a little success, they get a little upset
They would rather see you strugglin' than making progress
And every show used to be a night to be remembered
Now I can't even remember last night's show, so
The heavy head wears the crown
But it's never gonna bring me down
'Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
The heavy head wears the crown
But it's never gonna bring me down
Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
I could throw it away
I could leave it all behind, it's all the same
I just signed a worldwide deal
But I don't really know how I feel
I don't think they understand what I'm about or where I come from
But I guess I'm the dumb one for signing on the dotted line
I put a lot of time in and got a lot to lose
So I ain't doing anything that I don't wanna do
Thinking that I'm a pop act, 'cause I had one pop track
That popped off
Thought they did their homework, guess not
They wanted me to work with Cody Simpson, really?
They wanted me to work with Simple Plan, really?
Yeah, I said it ain't my thing, they got mad
Try to force me
Like, I better do it if I want the team to support me
Look, I got my own thing, in my own country
And I'm so comfy I ain't going to change for no money
I ain't trying to pass blame for the spot I'm in
But I hope you understand what kind of artist that you're signing
The heavy head wears the crown
But it's never gonna bring me down
'Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
The heavy head wears the crown
But it's never gonna bring me down
Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
I don't need it
I don't need it
I can throw it away
I can leave it all behind, it's all the same
Look I love the fans, love the feeling, I don't wanna leave
But it's the planes and the traveling that I don't need
I love the rush, love the hour that I get on stage
But hate the snakes who still haven't learned how to behave
This game's a chop shop
To the originals and knock-offs
A bunch of bitches trying to be top dog
Fighting for that top spot
I got nothing left to prove
Everything I wanted to do, kid, I did it
I'm finished, enough small talk
Maybe it's time I drop the mic and just walk off
I could throw it away
I could leave it all behind, it's all the same
