Pressure

I been feeling under pressure for a long time But you know what they say Pressure makes diamonds I'm under pressure all the time Shining like a diamond people tryna dim my lights For the past few years I admit it I been trippin Dealing with depression steady going through regressions Always kept it to myself walkin round with fake smiles To paint a perfect picture man I need a new artist And in the beginning yeah my raps was pretty garbage Cussing every other word tryna be D'Wayne Carter Then I noticed G you gotta be your self And watch your back cuz people wanna see you fail And them be people who at first walked out Then once you make it come back wanting help Yeah I get it No kidding Do you know the feeling waking up with no feelings That's when I drop the top bumping No Ceilings Cruisin 635 letting out my demons P-R-E-double S-U-R-E That's what I'm dealing with all 52 weeks Hit rock bottom but the rock still getting deep Wonder when I'll make it out fullfilling my destiny Rides been bumpy man life's been a journey Hit a couple dead ends plus my rear view lookin blurry On the road to happiness Show me where the map ends It's been 23 years I'm tired of being trapped in So it's time to live my life One day imma end this fight Back up all against the ropes Swingin' like I'm Iron Mike Trapped in my dark mind Searching for the bright light Leading me to paradise Somewhere where the sun shines Never took no handouts Not looking for no sympathy Took a knee and talked to God Then I had epiphanies Future lookin clearer It's lookin 20/20 My time is coming up I can hear my clock ticking Pressure Yeah I feel the weight on my shoulders Tryna dust em off feelin like a young HOVA To live my life you can't be just any soldier Everyday I'm fighting battles tryna do some heroic Then I noticed It's time to focus on myself or I'm here all alone no one knows how I've felt Gotta reshuffle I had a bad hand dealt Never ever had no luck but I'm used to how that feels That's real I'm jotting down my memories Seein how dark they are God please forgive me Washed my sins away now the water lookin murky, Watch it all evaporate it's coming back to drown me It's haunting Don't ever know what's coming next Go to sleep with smiles then I wake up full of stress Every days a new day but it's all the same steps So I'm searching for a different route before I take my next Releasing pressure They never said it was easy Outchea chasing dreams but its night mares when I'm sleeping As I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep God before I wake please clear me from my enemies Yeah I switched the flow up And I really gotta show it I will never take a loss it's just battles that I'm closing I don't know what it's like To be out hear living life Without no worries but I feel it coming anytime Have you ever felt the pressure On you 24/7 Feelin lost and then your found Then back dealin with your stresses I'm living so wreckless Won't wish on the next one If I had just one wish I wish didn't feel threatened Going through this tough lesson Asking myself tough questions Searching for my brighter days My past looking so depressing I'm keep looking cuz I know I got a better life All this pressure held me down I'm breaking chains to paradise All this pressure held me down Im breaking chains to paradise All this pressure held me down I'm breaking chains to paradise
