Pressure
5.0.5.1. Lyrics

All i wanted was a couple 100 bands
Money was all I ever wanted, a couple hundred thousand dollars would do

All my life had to grow up had to grow up so fast
I had an early start to life, forced to mature quickly

Trying to get money yea i'm trying to get rich
Working hard to attain wealth and success

I was in the hood where they selling to the feens
I grew up in a rough area where drugs were sold to addicts

You don't know what its like to be up in my jeans
You have no idea what my struggles or life experiences have been like

Come home dead body up on the scene
Violence and death were common occurrences in the neighborhood I lived in

Nobody going snitch or move
No one wants to speak out or take action to stop the violence

If you do might end up on news
Speaking out against the violence would result in putting oneself in harm's way or potentially being a target of retribution

Man i'm trying to get rich so i can order some food
Making money is a priority so I can afford basic necessities like food

Man i'm so broke i cant order no food
My financial situation is dire, to the extent that I cannot afford food

Deep in the hood you cant win you can lose
Living in an impoverished neighborhood makes it challenging to succeed or prosper

Trying to get rich but i'm stuck in the loop
Despite my efforts to become wealthy, I feel stuck in a cycle of poverty

Want a big house with a deck and a pool
I aspire to live in a large home with amenities like an outdoor deck and swimming pool

Want to move out yea that feel like the move
I dream of moving out of the poor neighborhood and into a better environment

All these youngins in a cop car
Witnessing young people being apprehended by law enforcement

I want to feel like a pop star
I wish to experience the success and fame of a pop star

For dinner had a pop tart
My meals consist of inexpensive, low-quality food such as a Pop Tart

From the start had a bad start
My life didn't start out well

All my life had a big heart
Despite my struggles, I have always had a compassionate and caring spirit

It aint no stopping me
Nothing can prevent me from achieving my goals

Suppress my pain with some jokes
I often use humor to mask my inner pain and struggles

No i'm not going tell a lie
I will not deceive or fabricate information

All my life i been a mop
I've always felt like I've been walked over, used and taken advantage of

But i never been the type to toat
I've never been the kind of person to carry or use guns

And i never been the type to smoke
I've never used drugs or smoked

And i never been the type to cry
I don't let others see me cry even when I'm hurting inside

But i feel it all
Despite my facade, I experience all the pain and emotions

Yea i feel it all
I am deeply affected by everything that happens to me

Feel the pressure
I feel the stress and anxiety of my situation and surroundings

You can die tonight up on a stretcher
Living in a dangerous environment makes it easy to become a victim of violence and possibly die as a result

Them people going to have to come and fetch yah
Emergency responders will be needed to transport me to the hospital if something happens to me

So get up on yah need and fes up and yes up
It's important to keep moving forward and strive to better oneself despite difficult circumstances

Feel the pressure
Continuing to experience and be burdened by difficult situations and hardships
