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 After all you're only sellin' nobody but yourself In the end you have to answer to yourself and no one else Everyman has to carry, his own weight Everyman has to carry, his own weight Everyman has a cross only he has to bear If he 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 complaining just won't solve them One day we could be on top and the next day you could drop So no matter what you do all the weight is left on you. Everyman has to carry, his own weight Everyman has to carry, his own weight
