Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo
Now I call it rhyme, thats not Grime, cah there aint nuttin G bout you yeah
Your like this and, your like that, how about you spend time being you
All simile gang, lyrically bland, fish to a shark all I see is food
Aint no friends or mates, cuz your dead weight if you end up feeling used
Thats truth, what can you do for you
Know when I hit that booth I lift that roof
Mind who you're calling Boo, them gyal get around man and move all loose
Mind who you're talking to, you'll be shocked by a man you thought you knew
Man wanna poke at mine, Im grinding, so I dont pay no mind
It's live inside when I pick up the mic, Im grimey, man like you can't chime in
Nobody asked soundboy, its tiring, hearing the same old rhyming
I'm under-rated, I'm so deserving, no one cares when you hit the timeline crying
Ungrateful shitbag, you aint got a clue what life is
Blessed for the beat I'm riding, blessed for the car im driving, blessed for the shots you're firing
Blessed for the skin I'm covered, I got P I'm covered, I'm grinding steady
Everything round you devi, that's cah you're not heavy
That's cah you're not heavy
That's cah you're not heavy
Too much gas is deadly, really your empty, rudeboy you're not
Too much gas is deadly, really your empty, rudeboy you're not Heavy
How can I let some eediot MC bury this more than me
Rudeboy, bun your frequency, that wont get you on the frequency
Ears burn every week or so cah man rate me so frequently
And I, spare man out of decency, cah I know them man will burn in peace
Listen, sometimes you must listen, hear that hate in the distance, but just listen
How can I feel some way when you're way back in the distance
Dont act off gas like piston, round ere you will get pissed on
Come like zombies, I know my call of duty, bars pack a punch like Liston
You stay tripping, I stay on my mission, moretime I stay missing
Why we linking? I dont think its clicked in, I aint on this clique ting
Moving different, bare man shapes are shifting. that's why Im not trusting
I got the gyal dem lusting, confused with this love ting, but still I might fuck with them
Few gyal wish I was fucking them, karma comes when you fuck with heads
I just need a peng one instead, you fuck gyal but them gyal are dead
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Bars are heavy, I get wheels like lorries, stay on the ball like Totti
Cuz I got wit like Bobby
That's cah you're not heavy
That's cah you're not heavy
Too much gas is deadly, really your empty, rudeboy you're not
Too much gas is deadly, really your empty, rudeboy you're not Heavy
Emz's song Heavy is a hard-hitting track that scrutinises the current state of the grime scene, and the lack of authenticity in many artists' music. The song also addresses Emz's personal struggles with trust issues and the importance of surrounding yourself with genuine people. In the first verse, Emz declares that he is a "skeng on bars," referring to his sharp and confident delivery, and dismisses other artists' claims of being grime musicians. Emz insists that these artists are "lyrically bland," using generic similes and comparisons, and are not authentic in their music.
Emz warns against being surrounded by people who only take and do not contribute, describe them as "dead weight" and beneficial only when it is convenient for them. He acknowledges that he is underrated and overlooked but is grateful for the things he has, including a solid work ethic and loyal friends. He cautions against too much self-aggrandisement, as it can be deadly and cause people to lose their authenticity, dismissing some of his contemporaries as fake.
The song's hook, "That's cah you're not heavy," is a reference to the common phrase "heavy is the head that wears the crown," meaning that great responsibility comes with being a leader. Emz implies that some artists are not heavy enough to take on this responsibility, as they lack sincerity in their music and principles in their personal lives.
