Jhené is the daughter of Tina Chilombo and Antonio Chilombo. She has four siblings: Miyoko (sister), Jamila (sister), Miyagi (brother) and Jahi (brother). Jhené’s older sisters Jamila and Miyoko toured with Immature. This led to Jhene’s first meeting with producer Chris Stokes when Jhene was five years old. Eventually Stokes heard her sing, and he promised her that he would work with her someday. Although Jhené can sing in the fifth octave, she doesn’t have a five octave range. When B2K signed with Epic Records, Stokes suggested Jhene as a female solo singer and which led to her being signed as well. She served as the opening act for B2K and IMx on the Scream Tour 3.
As a promotional tool for Jhené, a few of her songs are featured on B2K releases. Tracks five through eight on B2K’s B2K: The Remixes - Volume 1 were actually songs by Jhené. They were: “My Name Is Jhene” (Intro), “He Couldn’t Kiss” (Album Version), “Gonna Love You Anyway” (snippet), and “Stuck Like This” (Snippet). “Santa Baby”, a cover done by Jhene, was featured on B2K’s Santa Hooked Me Up. On Pandemonium!, she was featured as a guest vocalist on the song “Tease”, and her song “Dog” appeared as a bonus track. Possibly as a ploy to get fans to listen to this song all the way though, a B2K bonus song “What U Get” can be heard immediately after “Dog” on the same track. The full version of “Stuck Like This” can be heard as the final track on The Remixes - Volume 2.
Jhené appears in numerous music videos including O’Ryan’s debut video, “Take It Slow”, B2K’s debut video “Uh Huh”, Play’s “M.AS.T.E.R (Part 2)” featuring Lil Fizz video and Morgan Smith’s 2004 video Blow Ya Whistle. Jhené’s songs are also featured on the soundtracks of Barbershop, The Master of Disguise, You Got Served, The Proud Family and Byou.
The Pressure
Jhené Aiko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
Please do not drive me crazy, crazy
Unless you're gonna go
With me
No pressure
The pressure
The pressure will make you feel
Up till the sun rises
There's no compromising
I know, I know, I know
You are such a liar
I never denied you
I was for sure
But it's really out of my control
The way you feel is not my problem
I don't wanna see you go
But I don't have time to solve this
And you don't have the right
After all you put me through
I'm starting to realize
Pressure
The pressure I know you feel
Pressure
The pressure just keep it real
Major weed smoke in the air
Pass it like you just don't care
Have you seen my fucks to give?
I have none, I cannot live with
The pressure
The pressure you know I feel
The pressure
The pressure to keep it real
Pay attention to the signs
Stay and listen, you will find
Everything, ain't rocket science
Every gem is not a diamond
But the pressure
The pressure will make you feel
The pressure
The pressure, the pressure
The pressure
The pressure will make you feel

There's no compromising
We cannot make concessions or agreements
You are such a liar
You are not truthful
I never denied you
I never rejected you
I was for sure
I had feelings for you
But it's really out of my control
I cannot control your feelings or actions
The way you feel is not my problem
I am not responsible for your emotions
I don't wanna see you go
I do not want you to leave me
But I don't have time to solve this
I do not have the time to fix our problems
And you don't have the right
You do not have permission or authority
After all you put me through
Considering all the pain you caused me
I'm starting to realize
I am beginning to understand
Major weed smoke in the air
There is a lot of smoke from marijuana
Pass it like you just don't care
Handle it nonchalantly
Have you seen my fucks to give?
Do you think I care?
I have none, I cannot live with
I do not have any more patience or tolerance
Pay attention to the signs
Be mindful of the indications
Stay and listen, you will find
Stay and take the time to understand
Everything, ain't rocket science
Things are not always difficult to comprehend
Every gem is not a diamond
Not everything valuable is obvious
The pressure will make you feel
There is a high expectation that will cause you to feel stressed or anxious
The pressure to keep it real
The expectation to be truthful and genuine
The pressure, the pressure
The high expectation
The pressure will make you feel
The expectation will cause you to feel stressed or anxious

Jhene is telling the pressures of juggling friendships, love life, motherhood, being a celebrity and finding her peace. But also remember that it’s ok to cut off fake/dramatic friends, toxic relationships, take a break from your children here and there, and being alone in the spotlight. After all if you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love yourself? Now can I get an amen up in here??? 🙏🏾
