Over a menacing beat composed of multiple samples, Logic cemented himself as one of the most notable young hip-hop talents with his steady wordplay and strong flow. The track was also self-produced, adding to how impressive this song is.

The official music video, which featured an alternate variation of the track, was premiered on October 9th. It was inspired by the Biting Elbows’s ‘'Bad Motherfucker’‘ music video—a fact Logic shared during an interview with DJ DUBL.

Under Pressure
Logic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Work so fucking much, my greatest fear is Imma die alone
Every diamond in my chain, yeah, that's a milestone
People calling me, asking me for money, man
The only thing Imma give you motherfuckers is the dial tone

Flashbacks of a youngin' sipping that purple Kool Aid
Skipping school with my homies and chiefing reefer for two days
Running from the law, living how I'm living, fuck 'em all

Bumping Triple Six
Hennessy in my cup, driving through the sticks
Who the bitch, riding with me?
Man, the devil tryna get me
Motivated, undereducated, and hated
But finally getting cake like a happy belated
Bitch I made it, we on
Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, smoke it, inhale it, write it, record it, mix it, master it, press it up, unveil it
Feel like I've been waiting forever, forever to inherit
This is war, I declare it
Time is money, I can't spare it
Futuristic, so simplistic
Please decipher my linguistics
Slow it down, Robitussin
I'm the king, ain't no discussion
And now we blowing up like spontaneous human combustion
My consumption is the illest
Section eight, I know you feel this
On the come up, where they run up on you for nothing at all
Brighter than eleven suns, this the first, where my funds?
EBT, that's the card
I thank God, I thank God, but it's hard, but it's hard

Work so fucking much, my greatest fear is Imma die alone
Every diamond in my chain, yeah, that's a milestone
People calling me, asking me for money, man
The only thing Imma give you motherfuckers is the dial tone

God damn, god damn, we at it again
Me and my homies that know me blowing up like the Taliban
Yeah, my stress up, but I'm blessed up
Fuck around and get messed up
When I murder the rhyme, I'm living divine
You know that I'm one of a kind
Lemme get it right now, ho
Draped up and I'm dripped out
Right now, ho
Caked up 'til I cash out
And I got em all wondering how, so
On the down low, haters drown slow
On the down low, haters drown slow
Oh God, my God, we got it all right
Oh God, my God, we gotta get it right
These fuckers facades, they just a mirage, right?
I said these fuckers facades, they just a mirage, right?
Tell me that they love me, know damn well that they don't give a fuck
I be on that finger flipping killing shit up in the cut, that's what's up
All these bitches out here tryna gas it up
This is everything I ever wanted, I can't pass it up
Life changed in a year, couldn't happen fast enough
"Can I do it like you do it?" That's what they be asking us
White benz, black card, bitch better get your plastic up
Man, this shit is hella hard, but we never acting up
Live it up, hold on to your dream, don't ever give it up
Finally had my share of success, and shit, I can't get enough
Now they know my name through the nation
'Cause my single like that good shit, man, always in rotation
Now they know Logic for Logic, not through my affiliations
Stacking profit on profit, from this music I'm making
Even Jesus had haters, so when you feeling forsaken
Tell 'em jealous Judas is who this is, and man, that'll break 'em
And Bitch I'm still the same
Dash of auto tune so y'all can feel the pain
Broke as fuck, back in that basement, not a dollar to my name
Chasing fame, chasing glory, 'til the day we make a story
Positive that life ain't mine, bitch you can take that shit to Maury

Work so fucking much, my greatest fear is Imma die alone
Every diamond in my chain, yeah, that's a milestone
People calling me, asking me for money, man
The only thing Imma give you motherfuckers is the dial tone

(Hello, no one is available to take your call)

I been working hard, I been searching for God
I been working hard, I been searching for God
Please leave a message after the tone
Little brother, this is your sister, you're busy, I getcha
But I insist you call me back cause I miss you
I wish you well

Well, I wish you would call
'Cause lately you feel like I'm just not your sister at all, all

Overall Meaning

In his song "Under Pressure," Logic describes the hardships and anxieties of his life. He talks about his fear of dying alone, people asking him for money, his memories of drinking Kool-Aid and smoking weed with his friends while skipping school, and his struggles with negativity and self-doubt. Despite these challenges, the chorus of the song emphasizes that he has achieved success, making milestones and never forgetting the hard work that got him there.

Throughout the song, Logic reflects on how his past experiences, including the negative ones, have shaped who he is today. He acknowledges that his success has made him a target for others seeking money or attention, but he is determined to stay focused on his own journey. He also touches on themes of spirituality and family, expressing a desire to connect with a higher power and reconcile with his sister, whom he feels has grown distant from him.

Overall, "Under Pressure" is a introspective and honest look at Logic's life, paving the way for his later albums to explore similar themes of mental health, self-reflection, and personal growth.

[Verse 3]
(Hello, no one is available to take your call)
I been workin' hard, I been searchin' for God
I been workin' hard, I been searchin' for God
(Please leave a message after the tone)
Little brother, this is yo' sister, you're busy, I get you
But I insist you call me back 'cause I miss you
I wish you well, well, I wish you would call
'Cause lately it feel like I’m just not yo' sister at all—all
Uh, I’m sorry for callin' and bawlin', I’m all in
And I feel like I'm fallin' lately, it feel like my children hate me
You tell me I'm beautiful and yet no man wanna date me
Haunted by vivid memories of that man who raped me
And lately I, I feel more and more like mommy, I know I’m me, but still
You always seemed to pick up the phone and somehow I feel
Better, but you been answerin' me lesser and lesser
So I resorted to the pills in my dresser, I'm gone
And as for... oh no, he left and he ain’t comin' back
I hate him and if I see him I swear I tell him that
No longer cookin' crack in my kitchen, cuttin' an' sellin' that
He broke my heart, that relationship been to hell and back
I been workin' hard, I been searchin' for God
I can feel the Devil around me as they all applaud
Promise you won't forget me, that you'll always be wit' me
And even when you gone I can call whenever he hit me
Under pressure, I've been feeling under pressure
[Verse 4]
Hey, son, this is your father, don't mean to bother
How are you? Heard you were in town, but I never saw ya
Tried to call ya, where are ya?
In Paris? What a beautiful destination
To perish right by the Eiffel, come now
Please don't be spiteful of all my small talk
I think we're overdue a long talk
When I see kids around the way, I say how I'm your dad
It gets me thinkin' 'bout incredible moments we've had
And on the real, I'm tryin' so hard not to bug you
But do you think you could stop rappin' about my drug use?
I'm two years clean, no longer a fiend
Yeah, I'm 57, but I feel 19
And I love you I swear, Bobby, I know you're there
And when the time is right I know that you gon' take care
Of anything I need, of yo' family
Can I have some tickets to your next show?
Would you stand wit' me?
Can I have some money for my new honey that's hella fine?
I forgot to mention I got divorced from yo' step-mom
My mind goin' crazy, but I still look hella calm
Maybe you could tell beep
I've been feelin' under pressure

[Interlude]
Hey, what's up, bro? This Ralph, I didn't want much, man, just calling to see what's going on. I know you're busy. Uh, Dad hit me up, it's his birthday today, but I know you know that. Uh, yeah, he calling, he be tryna introduce me to his new chick and stuff, man, I don't know how to handle that. I don't wanna tell him like nah, I ain't trying to meet her off top, you know? So what you think I should do? Text me, I know you're busy, dawg. But he been callin' me saying he wanna come down, he wanna bring his new chick and Brenda's like "Damn, he really tryna rock out with his new chick" 'cause you know we all fuck with Debbie. But I don't know, I don't know how to tell him this shit so just hit me back whenever you got the time, man, I know there's more shit on your plate. You ain't—you ain't gotta hit me, dawg, but if you do I'd appreciate it. When you back, love you, do your thing. Swag RattPack all day, boy. Alright, nigga, hit me

[Verse 5]
Uh, yeah, dear family, I'm so sorry that I've been distant
Everything changed in an instant, my time has been inconsistent
I know that you been insistin', I know that birthday I missed it
I swore I told my assistant, but I guess my mind is in another place
Thoughts off in another world, I started seein' another girl
It fell through, man, what a world
But I'm so focused on my craft, on employin' my staff
Such a perfectionist, I can't even finish this draft
This letter to the ones I love, the ones that I miss
Brothers and sisters that hit me up just to reminisce
Meanwhile, people outside of my blood askin' for favors
I don't owe you a fuckin' thing, you best switch yo' behavior
Truly remarkable how I barely know you, but somehow owe you When you don't even know 'bout the shit I go through, uh
We ain't spoken in a while, tell me sister, how yo' child?
Come now, girl, give me a smile, come on, girl, don't do me foul
Sorry I ain't call before, but I'm callin' you right now
I heard that you was poppin' E, stop resortin' to the vowel
How my mama, how she doin'? Does she know what I'm pursuin'?
I ain't talk to her in years, that relationship she ruined
But sometimes I wake up and wonder just what the fuck I'm doin'
They say family is everything, I swear that shit the truth
I should spend it all with y'all, but I spend it in the booth
This is everything I love, this is everything I need
Never sacrifice this feelin' even though my heart it bleed
This is everything I love, everything I need
Never sacrifice this feelin' even though my heart bleed
Under pressure, I've been feelin' under pressure

For all of you saying that logic retiring is heartbreaking: you’re allowed to feel that way, BUT you also gotta think about what this means. When you listen back to this song, you know he had it fuckin rough, he was weighed down with the guilt of choosing his dreams over his family, and he hardly had time to breathe. As of No Pressure, he feels like he’s lived out that dream, and he finally gets the time he always needed to spend on the people who matter most to him. Dadbod is basically the happy ending to this song’s story.

the thing thats dope though about hearing this album so many times is the new stuff ill hear that i never noticed before, honestly didnt even realize that in the second half of this song he uses the same drum break that he used in metropolis which is why it sounds so much like sing about me, especially with the way he flows it sounds a lot like kendrick, but in a good way though

I remember hearing this song then album first time at 15
Life was already bad with weight issues /substance abuse with pills cigs and drinking/dropping out and family issues
This album helped me see through all of that and to stay motivated and change and I did
Lost 100lbs along with getting some muscle and I kicked everything (I stick with some weed) and became a mentally and morally better person
Helped me see that if I change myself for the better I can then help everyone around me
I can never thank logic enough for inspiring me from him beating his own situation
Thank you.

I don’t think people understand what he is saying. Look at the lyrics, especially from 7:38-8:04. He is saying he hasn’t talked to his mother in years, barely gets to talk to his dad and sister, and misses parties that involve with his family. He even says ‘I should spend more time with y’all but I spend it in the booth’ then goes on to say ‘This is everything I love, everything I need, never sacrifice this feeling even though my heart bleed. Under pressure I’ve been feeling under pressure.’ He is literally saying that his heart is hurt, he barely gets to see his family, but he will sacrifice it all to make music because he loves the feeling.

@jonathanakerele8006

5y↑1.7K

I bet Logic's dad Bobby Sr. broke down and cried the first time he heard this on the radio! Especially when he heard his own voice on the recorded message near the end of the song. Probably made him think of how far he'd come since he was an addict and how grateful he was that his son Bobby Jr. let him rebuild their relationship when he could have easily just bailed on him after getting famous and been like since Dad wasn't there for me when i was young I sure as heck don't have time for him now. Since lots of sons with absentee dads (Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson, etc) never really bothered to rekindle their bonds with the dads who abandoned them.
