Weight on Me
A [powerful Afrofusion and Soul] track with [mid-tempo African percussion], [warm bass guitar], and [emotive vocal delivery]. The [drums use live congas, soft kicks, and rim taps] layered with [shakers and organic claps]. The [instrumentation blends Afrobeat groove with melancholic highlife guitars and distant horns], creating a [haunting, emotional atmosphere]. The [lead vocals are raw, heartfelt, and sung in a mix of English and Nigerian Pidgin], expressing [pain, faith, and inner struggle]. The [chorus is repetitive and chant-like], backed by [African choir harmonies and subtle background ad-libs]. The [bridge is stripped down with spoken confessions], leading to a [final chorus full of layered vocals and rising intensity]. The overall mood is [emotional, spiritual, and powerful], with [live instrumentation and strong human feeling]. Heavy Nigerian influence and Nigerian accent.

Lyrics
Intro
"Another remix by Eddie Martz"
NATE-ive Sound dey here so
Mmm… yeah yeah…
Ahh… make dem hear me now…
Ehn-eh…
Verse 1
Sometimes I sit, I dey reason life,
Voices loud, but peace don hide.
I smile small, but e pain inside,
Rain dey beat, still I dey stride.
Mama talk say, “pray, you go fine,”
But the road long, I still dey climb.
Crowd dey cheer, still I fear to stand,
Heavy crown dey weigh for hand.
Pre-Chorus – weary tone
Every day I dey fight my mind,
People see joy, but I dey blind.
Carry sin wey I no fit find,
Still dey beg make grace combine.
Chorus – chant-style, crowd call-and-response
Weight on me, weight on me (yeah-yeah)
Somebody help me, weight on me (eh-eh)
Weight on me, weight on me (ohh)
Daddy, come take this pain from me (ohh)
Weight on me, weight on me (yeah-yeah)
Still I rise, still I bleed (eh-eh)
Weight on me, weight on me
Somebody set me free
Post-Chorus – chant style, crowd energy
Carry my pain go, carry my pain go,
Carry my pain go, carry my pain go.
Carry my pain go, carry my pain go,
Carry my pain go, carry my pain go.
Verse 2
Dem say strong man no dey cry,
But who go heal the tears wey dry?
Smile dey cover scar for skin,
If you look close, e dey within.
Love don fade when the trust don weak,
I dey try talk but my soul no speak.
People clap, but I still feel small,
Past dey haunt me, I still recall.
Pre-Chorus – building emotion
Every day I dey fight my mind,
People see joy, but I dey blind.
Carry sin wey I no fit find,
Still I dey beg make peace combine.
Chorus – heavy with choir harmonies
Weight on me, weight on me (yeah-yeah)
Somebody help me, weight on me (eh-eh)
Weight on me, weight on me (ohh)
Daddy, come take this pain from me (ohh)
Weight on me, weight on me (yeah-yeah)
Still I rise, still I bleed (eh-eh)
Weight on me, weight on me
Somebody set me free
Post-Chorus – chant style, crowd energy
Carry my pain go, carry my pain go,
Carry my pain go, carry my pain go.
Carry my pain go, carry my pain go,
Carry my pain go, carry my pain go.
Bridge
If you see me smile, just know I dey try,
If I go quiet, know say I dey fight.
Still I be lion, I go find my way,
Even when dark, I go still dey pray.
If you see me smile, just know I dey try,
If I fall small, I go rise, I dey rise.
Tears for ground, but I still dey run,
Pain for chest, but I still dey strong.
Final Chorus
Weight on me, weight on me (yeah-yeah)
Somebody help me, weight on me (eh-eh)
Weight on me, weight on me (ohh)
Daddy, come take this pain from me (ohh)
Weight on me, weight on me
Still I rise, still I bleed
Weight on me, weight on me
Somebody set me free
Post-Chorus – chant style, crowd energy
Take am far away, take am far away
Take am far away, take am far away
Take am far away, take am far away
Take am far away, take am far away
Outro – soft percussion fade
Ehn-eh… make dem hear me…
Weight on me… still I rise… yeah…
Baba God, come take this pain from me (ohh)
