The title is a line from the Toni Morrison novel "Song of Solomon". One of my favortites

lyrics

The shit that weighs you down
The shit that weighs you down
The shit that makes you frown
Turns your smile around

The shit that weighs you down
The shit that weighs you down
The shit that pulls you down
Pins you to the ground

You want to fly
You got to try
To give up the shit
That weighs you down

The shit that weighs you down
The shit that weighs you down
The shit that breaks
Tears your heart out

The shit that weighs you down
The shit that weighs you down
The shit that’s all around
Oh it’s all over town

Throw it out the window
Stick it in a can
Throw it in the incinerator
Bury it in the sand
Throw it in the river
Let it sink
Bury it in the ground

That makes you (echo)
That takes you (echo)
That breaks you (echo) …. down
