Pressure (Intro)
{Intro}
Yeah
Yo
Black Swan
[Verse]
I'm puttin' pressure on myself to be the best at what I do
Lately I've started to be hardly impressed with none of you
They want some props but I only give up the credit when it's due
If I said it then its true
I'll be a legend when its through
Underground, but I been at it for a minute, I ain't new
Some niggas went and blew and still don't even have a clue
How to keep on doin' you but keep the people happy too
You gotta keep the balance
And it could be a challenge
Bein' talented, but in the background
And everybody wanna rap now
Tryna do the trap sound
Or whatever's trendin', so he be pretendin'
Social media make us feel like we need opinions
Looking for followers instead of looking to follow your heart
Compromisin' yourself, hopin' they acknowledge your art
The game is harder than it seem, I know it's not what you thought
But if you not up on the scene, then it's probably your fault
How you expecting some help, but can't invest in yourself
I had to better myself, now I can bet on myself
I used to think that I was gettin' too ahead of myself
But my mind is a goldmine and I'm spreading my wealth
Welcome to the black swan event
I came a long way 'cause I remember back in the days when I barely had confidence
And now I got seeds and things I wanna pass on to them
To tell my story just in case nobody tell it for me
Make 'em feel my presence even if they never saw me
I don't even think the game is ready for me, speaking honestly
I was sensitive about my artistry
Caught up in the audience
But when I started doing it for me, it felt marvelous
I used to wanna call it quits
I didn't know that it would be as hard as this
I put my heart in this
Mac sent me the beat, it gave me intro vibes
On this project I'm committing instrumental genocide
And I'll never put this pen aside till I'm top ten alive
Or till I'm in the skies
