Pressure
Keke Palmer Lyrics

I don't think that I'm ready now
I do not feel emotionally ready to handle a relationship right now.

What he bringing now
What is he bringing to the table in our relationship?

Damn he bring it now
He is bringing something intense to our relationship that I may not be ready for.

He applyin' that pressure
He is putting pressure on me to commit or make decisions in our relationship.

He bringing that pressure
He is continuously putting pressure on me in the relationship.

He say he see what he want and
He claims to know what he wants from our relationship.

He won't stop until he get it
He will continue to pursue me until he gets what he wants.

So deep, I can't say I'm ready now
The level of intensity he is bringing to our relationship is overwhelming and I'm not sure if I'm emotionally equipped to deal with it.

He want me to believe him
He wants me to trust him but I am hesitant.

But I can just see that
I am able to see through his attempts to make me trust him.

The moment that I let him get up in my heart and into my mind
If I allow myself to become emotionally involved with him, it will be difficult to disconnect from him.

Then I'm completely gone
If I let myself become emotionally involved with him, I will not be able to separate myself from him easily.

Yeah, thug is my weakness
I am drawn to men who have a tough persona and/or have been in trouble with the law.

He bring out my freakness
He awakens a more daring and adventurous side of me.

I see all these niggas but I never like them regulars
I have plenty of options when it comes to men but I am only attracted to those who meet a certain criteria.

I just never had an interest in them amateurs
I am not interested in men who have not experienced life in a certain way or who do not understand me.

Sometimes when you're deep in
Sometimes when you are deeply involved with someone,

You're getting all underneath it
You are becoming emotionally involved.

That's when you find it's not your heart
When you are emotionally entangled with someone, you realize your heart is not the only aspect at stake.

It's your mind that's the weakness
Your emotional connection with the person is dominating your thoughts.

And maybe that is the part I'm not ready for
I may not be ready for the level of emotional attachment that comes with being deeply involved with someone.

I'm sure you're lit tonight
I'm sure you are having a good time tonight.

Show me a real good time
Spend time with me and give me an enjoyable experience.

That don't mean your love and protection, affection
Just because we have a good time tonight, does not necessarily mean that you are offering me love, security, or affection.

It's gon' be right
Things will be fine with us as long as we maintain a certain level of understanding.

If you know the pain my heart and I have seen before
If you understand the heartbreak I've experienced in the past,

Then you understand
You will understand why I am reluctant to open up to someone new.

Sometimes I need a girlfriend to be the only someone that I'm fucking
Sometimes I need a female friend to be the only person with whom I am sexually involved.

Sometimes I need a real nigga from a real city with some real dick
Sometimes I desire a man with a rough exterior and a strong sexual presence from an inner-city background.

I know I'm complicated so if you could steal my heart you lucky
I know I am not easy to understand or love easily, so if you are able to capture my attention, consider yourself fortunate.

I need the type of someone who can handle these facts
I need someone who is able to accept all of my quirks and issues without judgment or frustration.

And I ain't gotta worry looking over my back
I need a partner I can trust completely and do not have to worry about their intentions.

See I done have my own share of hurt, and dammit I cried with it
I have experienced emotional pain in the past and I have cried with it.

See I got a little bit of baggage but nigga I'm fine with it
I have some emotional baggage from my past relationships, but I have learned to deal with it.

So before we hit the lights, you gotta recognize these signs
Before we become involved romantically, you have to understand my emotional patterns and tendencies.

Putting in the gas 'fore this motherfucker take flight
Let's work on our relationship and give it a chance to fly.

And your turbulence becomes too much
If you become too emotionally turbulent for me, our relationship is not going to work out.

I mean, I really like you
I am genuinely interested in you.

But there's just some things that I
However, there are certain things that I still need to work out within myself.

I'm really not sure about at this point
I am uncertain about how I feel at this time.

Sometimes you just wanna get
Sometimes you just want to reach a point in your life

You wanna get to the place where
Where you have reached your desired emotional state

Where you not dealing with people that's gonna hurt you all the time
Where you are not constantly dealing with people who bring you pain.

You wanna know yourself enough to
You want to understand yourself well enough to

To really know what it is
Truly know what you want and need in life.

What you looking at when you see what you want
What are you considering when you pursue what you want in life?

I don't know
I am not always sure myself.
