"Taking The Heat" lyrics - JOY OLADOKUN

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
The pain of it
The rage of what
It takes to just be awake

[Chorus:]
Nobody ever wonders how the strong stay strong
They get what they want and then they move along
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 left to prove

[Pre-Chorus:]
The pain of it
The rage of what
It takes to just be awake

[Chorus:]
Nobody ever wonders how the strong stay strong
They get what they want and then they move along
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

[Bridge:]
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

[Chorus:]
Nobody ever wonders how the strong stay strong
They get what they want and then they move along
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

[Outro:]
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
