[Intro]
Yeah
Pressure
Pressure make diamonds
Pressure make bodies break
[Verse 1]
Walls talk, paint peel, paranoia in the drywall
Ash on the floor, two phones on a missed call
Eyes red, mind runnin’ like a pit dog
Whole block whisperin’, I just let the clips talk (hey!)
Crawl through the trap in my church shoes
Pray in the back with the worst dudes
Luck runnin’ thin like a first fuse
Cut that wire, whole room turn curfew
Money in the ceiling like mold spots
Gun oil, bleach, and the cold rocks
If the feds knock, that door locked
If my heart stop, I still won’t talk
[Chorus]
I’m under pressure, pressure, pressure (yeah)
Tie that fear up, choke it, stretch it
Room full of threats tryna test my temper
But pressure make diamonds, I’m extra, extra
I’m under pressure, pressure, pressure (woo)
Stack that pain up, turn to treasure
Broke that scale, blew past that measure
Pressure make diamonds, pressure make diamonds
[Verse 2]
Steel toes stomp in a bloodstain
Ink on the page look like gun range
Name in their mouth, that’s a lunch tray
Plate so hot, make the blunt shake
Backstreet baby with the swamp drawl
Slide through the city like a sawed-off
Chains on my neck with the frostbite
Heart in my chest like a hog fight (rah!)
Every room I enter get smaller
Air get thin, my nerves get harder
Voices say “quit,” I just go farther
Turn that stress to a new ice choker
[Chorus]
I’m under pressure, pressure, pressure
Tie that fear up, choke it, stretch it
Room full of threats tryna test my temper
But pressure make diamonds, I’m extra, extra
I’m under pressure, pressure, pressure
Stack that pain up, turn to treasure
Broke that scale, blew past that measure
Pressure make diamonds, pressure make diamonds
[Bridge]
Turn that hate to heat
Turn that heat to shine (shine)
Turn that shine to cash
Turn that cash to time (yeah)
If it don’t break you, it’ll break that frame
If it don’t shake you, you ain’t in the game
Flood my teeth, flood my veins with the grime
Under all this pressure, I just crystallize
[Chorus]
I’m under pressure, pressure, pressure (pressure)
Tie that fear up, choke it, stretch it
Room full of threats tryna test my temper
But pressure make diamonds, I’m extra, extra
I’m under pressure, pressure, pressure
Stack that pain up, turn to treasure
Broke that scale, blew past that measure
Pressure make diamonds, pressure make diamonds
