Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's on you, pick and choose where you want to go in life
No one said that the road would be paved all smooth and nice
If you wanna be a lawyer or just lay around all day
Don't be jealous of the fellas who want to go all the way
[Verse 2]
After all you're only sellin' (Sellin') nobody but yourself
In the end, you have to answer to yourself and no one else
[Verse 3]
And everyman, I said, has to carry his own weight
Yes sir, yes he does y'all
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Oh yes he does, yes he does, yes he does y'all
(Everyman has to carry his own weight) Got to carry, got to take it
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Got to make it, got to bear it, got to take it y'all now
[Verse 4]
Everyman has a cross only he has to bear
If he's lost, that's the cost for not planning' way ahead
We were all born with the tools, so let's put them all to use
One day we may all have problems but complainin' just won't solve 'em
[Verse 5]
One day we could be on top (Top) and the next day, you could drop
So no matter what you do, all the weight is left on you
[Verse 6]
Singin' everyman, said, has to carry his own weight
Yes he does y'all, oh yes he does, yes he does
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Singin' everyman (Has to carry his own weight) gots to take it, gots to make it
Gots to bear the pain, yes sir, oh
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
[Verse 7]
Oh, after all you're only sellin' (Sellin') nobody but yourself
In the end, you'll have to answer to yourself and no one else
[Verse 8]
Singin' everyman, said, has got to carry his own weight
My my, oh yes he does y'all
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Oh yes he does, yes he does, singin'
Everyman y'all, said, has got to carry (His own weight)
Gots to take it, gots to bear it, gots to make it
Yes sir
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Everyman y'all, said, has got to carry (His own weight), gots to take it y'all
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Oh yeah
(Everyman has to carry his own weight) Said he gots to take it
Gots to bear it, got the choice to take his load, no, no
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Everyman has to carry his own weight) Said he gots to take it
Gots to have the strength, take the pain
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) Yes sir
[Verse 9]
Spread the love
He said he had to bear his own weight, y'all
Now my brother, my brother, my brother
My brother was down and out
He said, "Can you help me? Can you take, can you, can you take
Take, take the load?"
I said, "No
Everyman got to make his own stand", yes he does
