If the human brain suddenly weighed two tons.

Theoretically speaking:
Would the brain matter crush the spine while forcing its way out of the skull?
Or would it squeeze itself into a brain liquid and never leave the body?

A study found that 520 lbs of weight placed on top of your head could crush your skull, 4000 lbs is going to drop through your entire body, crushing everything in its path

Does any substance we know of have that kind of density?

Not at the size of the human brain, no. Osmium is the densest element and a concentration of it would only weigh about 65 lbs at 1300 cubic centimeters (the size of the modern brain)
