No Pressure Intro
Logic Lyrics

Welcome to the No Pressure program
Logic welcomes the audience to the No Pressure program

Good evening, this is Logic
Logic introduces himself as the host of the program

And very happy I am to be back in the United States and back on the network
Logic is excited to be back in the US and on the network

Even for so short a visit as this one
Although the visit is short, Logic is still happy to be there

Back with old friends like No I.D. who is tonight's director and
Logic is happy to be working with No I.D. again, who is directing the show tonight

Nobody argued the point, a lot of people asked us to do it again
Logic and No I.D. are doing the show again due to popular demand and without any objections

So it's gratifying to get the chance to do it again
Logic is grateful for the opportunity to do the show again

So it's gratifying to get the chance now (No I.D.)
Logic mentions that No I.D. is the reason for this gratification

Personally, I've never met anybody who didn't like The Incredible True Story
Logic has never met someone who did not enjoy his album, The Incredible True Story

Now tonight, what we do have is a thriller
Logic presents the show as a thriller

If it's half as good as we think it is, you can call it a classic
If the show is as good as they expect, it can be considered a classic

Quite possibly
There is a chance that the show can become a classic

A little escapade of mine involving a couple of planets which shall be nameless
Logic went on a little adventure which he does not wish to name

Is responsible
The above escapade is responsible for something related to the show

Doesn't really matter
The above escapade is not too significant to the show's plot

A story doesn't have to appeal to the heart, it can also appeal to the spine
Logic believes a story can be thrilling, even if it does not elicit emotional responses, but physical ones

And with two magic words
Logic prepares to begin the show with two special words

Ayy, no pressure
The two magic words are 'no pressure'

Never graduated, but I school 'em like professor
Despite not having a degree, Logic teaches others like a professor

Growing up, the world always told me I was lesser
Logic experienced discrimination as a child

Growing up, the world told me I could not address her
Society made it difficult for Logic to speak up for himself or others

Gangsters put that heat to your head like a hairdresser
Gangsters can be just as dangerous as hairdressers who use hot tools

If you press a issue on they block
If you try to bring up an issue in their territory, gangsters will react

(Hey, Logic, Snake here
A sudden interruption by a person identifying themselves as 'Snake'

I hear you're planning world domination through a new form of Metal Gear
Snake accuses Logic of trying to take over the world using a new weapon

Well, listen to me, it won't work)
Snake disagrees with Logic and believes his plan will fail

This liquor that I'm drinking got me thinking 'bout some other shit
Logic's alcohol consumption leads him to contemplate other things

Feeling like I'm sinking like Titanic or some other ship
Logic feels like he's drowning and sinking like a ship

Word to your mothership, boy, this that gutter shit
This is raw and true to life

Breaking down the weed to get high as Thomas and Kai
Logic and friends are getting high by breaking down weed like Thomas and Kai

But y'all ain't ready for that shit, that's more like Ultra 85
This level of rawness is not for everyone, it is more suitable for Logic's next album, Ultra 85

Memories of powdered milk and roaches in my cereal
Logic remembers a time when he had no money and resorted to eating powdered milk and cereal with roaches

Praying that my crew next like cotton material
Logic hopes his crew can progress like cotton material is weaved

Never had a car, that's why I hate the fuckin' bus
Logic dislikes the bus because he never owned a car

Took the 61 to Germantown and hear them guns bust
Logic took a bus to Germantown and heard gunshots

Call it static, my headphones on, it's Illmatic
Logic feels disconnected from his surroundings and listens to Nas' Illmatic album through his headphones

On my Rosa Parks, in the back writin' like B-Rabbit
Logic is writing in the back of the bus like B-Rabbit (Eminem's character in the movie 8 Mile) and Rosa Parks (civil rights activist who refused to give up her seat on a bus)

How I carry it, murder the beat and then I'ma bury it
Logic plans to destroy the instrumental for the song and then move on to something else

Producin' tracks for the underground like Harriet
Logic creates music for underground artists, similar to how Harriet Tubman helped underground railroad

Drop another number one and watch 'em all get mad again
Logic plans to create another hit song and watch his haters become angry

Memorizing verses like the Vatican, I'm glad again
Logic is happy because his ability to memorize lyrics is like how the Vatican reliably memorizes verses of text

Empty the clip and then do that again
Logic is using a gun metaphor to describe how he finishes a song then starts over again

And now we ridin' 'round the city on a dollar twenty-five
Logic and his friends are driving around the city on the cheap bus fare of $1.25

Boy, you better keep your head down if you wanna stay alive
Logic warns his listeners to avoid danger if they value their life

People telling you to stay in your lane, can't even drive
People who tell you what to do do not even have their own life figured out

Tell you not to chase your dreams 'cause they chained to a nine-to-five
People tell you not to follow your dreams because they are stuck to a mundane job or lifestyle

Bitch, I'm too alive like twins in the womb, come hither, consume
Logic feels alive like twins in the womb and encourages others to join him in that feeling

All of my memories from past and present like two identities
Logic's memories make up two separate identities, his past self and present self

Logic fallin' off is an obscenity
It would be a disgrace to society if Logic were to lose his popularity and musical talent

Top five I better be, steadily
Logic believes he should be ranked in the top five of all time best rappers, and remain there

Doggin' these bitches like I'm a Pedigree
Logic is confidently flirting with women, similar to dog breeding champions with a pedigree

Obtain class with no degree
Logic has acquired professionalism without any form of academic certification

Fuck a GED, EBT, and the HOC
Logic does not value a GED (high school equivalency test), EBT (welfare benefits) or HOC (public housing)

Feeling free, yeah, I'm feeling free
Logic is enjoying his freedom from societal norms and pressure

But it cost a fee to be the boss it cost to be
Logic acknowledges that there is a price to pay in order to be a leader

Over possessions like an apostrophe
People often fight over material possessions as they do over the proper use of an apostrophe in writing

It's chemical warfare on the block, who got the rock?
There is a drug war happening in the neighborhood and people are fighting for control

A tablespoon of baking soda leave you shellshocked
Even a small amount of drugs can have a powerful impact on a person

Leave the pusher in a cell block and his customer in a box
Drug dealers are often arrested and put in jail while their customers can suffer fatal consequences from their use

The government got my pops
Logic feels the government is responsible for the problems his father experienced

The government can't be stopped
Logic acknowledges the power of the government to control certain aspects of his life

I'm a gladiator, this shit right here more like random thought
Logic views himself as a fighter and the content of the song as something more spontaneous than intentional

It's more like
Logic leaves the song unfinished, concluding it with this line

We interrupt this transmission with a special report
An unexpected reporting interruption happens, ending the song abruptly
