1 ContributorUnder Pressure Lyrics [Verse 1: Apani] When am I gonna grasp the “happily ever after”? That’s so Soft, pa. I always thought my life was gonna be more I lost the swing of things, the scheme of things, know Block to trooper, so I never got to spread my wings I need direction ‘cause my head is in a mess I need a priest, God bless, because I’m always under stress I guess I’m in a bind. Can you tell me who genuine? I can’t trust myself, and I’m losing my goddamn mind This psychosis is no joke, it’s like Jekyll and Hyde I got a good side, just sometimes I’m just ferocious, demons Threaten my presence. Preserving my essence, so I keep on stepping with heavenly blessings I strive to live right to reach the afterlife, still Evil persists, I attempt to resist, always Clenching my fist when I’m walking the strip, sometimes Losing my grip, that shit be having me high. I don’t Wanna, but it seems like I’m gonna succumb to (The pressure) The pressure that I’m under [Hook: Sample with Scratches] “Under pressure, God” - Sample from Fredro Starr on Onyx - “Shifftee” (x3) [Verse 2: Apani] Day-to-day Life is ninety percent stress, peace of mind Is hard to find. Nevertheless, I try To chill. Shit goes down ill, the will is steel, but for real (Sometimes) it’s hard to deal, (fuck it) is how feel (True) The grind has me trapped in, most friends ain’t worth having Always backstabbing, so I roll mainly solo Looking out for uno, I told Carlos, “You know Them niggas, they’re fucking punks, and you can’t trust ‘em” My brain is busting, yo, too many distractions disrupting My flow, so I’m true to my own and leave them corns Alone, although them devils wanna kill me, but my Pops don’t even hit me and, still, G, all them dizzy Betties involve me in all their silly conflicts, twisted plots And scripts they invent, morals is bent ‘cause they Never had shit, they live, the shot I smoke A lot, Newports and pot, so I can better Deal with the pressure (The pressure) [Hook: Sample with Scratches] “Under pressure, God” - Sample from Fredro Starr on Onyx - “Shifftee” (x3) “It’s hard” (x7) - Sample from Fredro Starr on Onyx - “Shifftee” [Verse 3: Apani] Under pressure, will it ever get better? Whatever the weather, gotta keep it together I survive and maintain regardless of pain Love burns, the world turns, but the bruises remain, it’s a shame Families trife, money’s tight and hard to come by At night, I close my eyes and see my young life flash by Mental strain and migraine, I play the hard game, go through changes Can you relate to exactly what I’m saying? Fate is Whimsical, so I stay spiritual. True, I’m meta- -physical, I’m holding for a miracle, the streets’ll ruin you I’m running through crazy crew members for real Now I’m one tough contender like steel, I spoke To God, He said, “Be on your guard, dread, let the rockhard See that you got heart, kid, and then they start shit” Bring a spark to a stop quick, life’s thick Keep your wits ‘cause one time or another Word to mother, y’all might go under [Hook: Sample with Scratches] “Someone’s pulling me under” - Sample from Fredro Starr on Onyx - “Shifftee” (x8)
