Pressure

All this pressure weighing on me, I feel like I'ma die man
Hanging from my neck, am I suffocating or shining
I'm asking legitimate questions
Won't take a casket til I'm given perspective
Til then I'm crafting and I'm smithin some weapons
Every single day it's do or die
Even when you wake in the morning
Hit the mirror, and ask who am I
Cuz no one's pressing up on you to try
It's gotta be self-motivated, upkept
Or else it's euthanized
You can love it or leave it
Go above and believe in
Every word you write and spit on records
Or just duck and keep it
Hidden on a hard drive
Locked away like it's something secret
No repercussions or reaper coming
Just stomach eating away at you every night
While your brain is just tossin, turnin
Begging you to make it right, maybe offset the losses, yearnin
To find the right course of action, maybe start the trail
To get some answers, scratch my name into the fucking hardness scale

So much pressure, depression, just expecting this
Fuck
So much pressure, depression, just expecting this second
I'll get it, lessen the lessons, maybe catchin
Alright, yeah, yeah, yo

So much pressure, depression, just expecting this second
I'll get it, lessen the lessons, maybe catchin some blessings
Shit
Trade for a sneeze, I been desperate, request it
In any fashion you can give it, no exceptions, accept it
Just wanna, kick for a while, maybe cherish it God
With the fam, do it for Nick, Kyle, Eric and Rob
And make an impact, is this hysterics or nah
Try staying intact, under all this pressure, façade
Working to keep up a smile, pacing to keep from a spiral
Facing my own thoughts, face it, wasting deep in denial
Cuz look, among these people, man I'm seekin the title
Not for fame or for glory, cuz just like breathin it's vital
Without it heart doesn't function, body's too weak to adapt
Music's the spark to combustion, guides me to freedom at last
Even with closed eyes, see the truth like I'm reading braille
Can take the pressure off, til I leave the booth and exhale
