Joy Oladokun - taking the heat Lyrics

I know what it's like to think about everybody else
And wonder if anybody else is thinking 'bout me
I know what it's like to hold a weight so deep in yourself
You wonder if anybody else could ever carry

The pain of it
The rage of what it takes to just be awake

Nobody ever wonders how the strong stay strong
They get what they want and then they move along
They never think twice about what could be
Does anybody wonder when the legends die young
If there's anything that we could have done
To stop a strong one from taking the heat

Know what it's like to keep it all in my head
Until my worries like a knife in my chest
Split me open while I'm lying in bed
What else am I gonna have to lose
What other magic tricks will I have to do
Until I finally have nothing to prove

The pain of it
The rage of what it takes to just be awake

Nobody ever wonders how the strong stay strong
They get what they want and then they move along
They never think twice about what could be
Does anybody wonder when the legends die young
If there's anything that we could have done
To stop a strong one from taking the heat

Oh-oh oh-oh oh (oh)
Oh-oh oh-oh oh (whoa)
Oh-oh oh-oh
Ooh
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh-oh

Nobody ever wonders how the strong stay strong
They get what they want and then they move along
They never think twice about what could be
Does anybody wonder when the legends die young
If there's anything that we could have done
To stop a strong one from taking the heat

Oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh-oh
Ooh
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh-oh

To stop the strong one from taking the heat
