Under Pressure
[Hook]
I’ve been feeling under pressure every single day of my life look at all the sacrifice
But there seems to never be a change in the weather
I just wanna fucking die because I’ve been feeling under pressure
Under pressure
Under pressure
[Verse 1]
I’ve been feeling under pressure every single day
Just tryna live up to this image that I’ve made
I’m supposed to be the best and never disagree
But I feel worthless I look in the mirror and I don’t recognize that it’s me
I feel like I’m drowning everyday in my tears
Just running away instead of facing all my fears
My whole life I thought this was destiny
But now I’m constantly questioning my integrity
I hate feeling this way, why won’t nobody see my vision
I’ve given you motherfuckers "The Trilogy"
But it’s all supply and demand
I ain’t rich yet or known but I feel I’m a good man
But others they don’t give a damn, they like snakes spewing their venom
And I feel like I’m being poisoned
Maybe I should just quit
Uh, maybe, uh, yeah, uh yeah
Maybe I should just quit and wonder one day
What if I kept going and made it some day
What the fuck would I tell my future son?
You can make it and achieve success "but dad you didn’t achieve none
You were a loser and gave up on your dreams so how in the fuck are you gone lecture me?
I quit fuck school I ain’t going back I’m a loser"
Uh, yeah, uh
Oh no I can’t allow that I gotta set the example
Rapping like an animal let my depression sleep through this mic though this fucking beat
I’ve been lost for so long I don’t know where I’m going, uh
Pain seeks deep and I try to weep
But will they ever understand?
All the emotions that I let up on this pad and pen
I don’t know, uh, I don’t know, yeah I don’t fucking know
I try my best to paint a picture of my life
I witnessed so much shit, sometimes it’s hard to sleep at night
I cry pillow drenched why do I have to go through this
I feel the pressure that I’m the one everyone has to lean on
And if I fall where do we all go now?
I got a wife and one day she’ll have my kids
This is exactly why I do this music shit for her, my family, my team and friends
I just want us to make it out that metaphorical basement and tour the world
Under Pressure
Under Pressure
[Hook]
I’ve been feeling under pressure every single day of my life look at all the sacrifice
But there seems to never be a change in the weather
I just wanna die because I’ve been feeling under pressure
Feeling, feeling, uh uh I've been feeling, under pressure
Feeling, uh, feeling, yeah under pressure
[Verse 2]
I've been feeling under pressure every since the age 18 when I stepped up on the rap scene with Etanimul. in 2016
I thought I was the greatest ever
Etanimuli was a classic, Therapy was fantastic and The Trilogy was illmatic
But the Interlude was tragic and ever since then It’s put me in a depression
I’ve been feeling the pressure, like how do I live up the the hype that I’ve built
The image that I’ve fulfilled
The promises that I’ve made
The fans that I feel like I’ve betrayed
When I said I felt as if I should quit
It felt like the whole world collapsed and shit
I just wanna make music for my team so we can all eat
I just wanna raise a family but I don’t have financial stability and it sucks
Under pressure, yeah, I've been feeling, feeling under pressure
So I give it my all knowing damn well one day I’ll fall
But I know my baby's got me in her arms
I know I can’t quit
I’m gonna make it in this rap shit if it kills me
I want my family to never have no worries I want me wife to never worry I want my future kids to never worry
I want everyone to never worry
'Cause Frankie the Ace will carry like we playing 2k
Feeling, feeling, uh uh I've been feeling, under pressure
Feeling, uh, feeling, yeah under pressure
