Mmm… yeah…
Pressure never broke me…
It just showed me who I am…
⸻
[Hook – melodic, uplifting, emotional]
🔥 Pressure cooker, made me stronger in the fire,
All the pain, all the nights, turned my struggle into power.
They tried to break me down, but I climbed a little higher,
Now I’m cookin’ with a purpose, turnin’ pressure into fire.
Pressure cooker — I ain’t run from all the heat,
Took the bruises and the yelling, now I’m standin’ on my feet.
They can doubt me, they can hate me, but they never stopped the dream,
‘Cause the flame that tried to burn me is the flame that makes me beam.

[Verse 1 – rap/melodic blend]
I came up from the cuts of the kitchen,
Where the old heads talk but they never wanna listen.
Throwin’ pans, throwin’ shade, sayin’ “kid, you ain’t built,”
But I held all my ground even when the floor spilled.
Burns on my wrist like a roadmap home,
Yeah I worked those nights feelin’ tired to the bone.
They lived in the past, man, stuck in their ways,
But I dreamed of better nights and some brighter days.
I ain’t fold, I ain’t break, I just carried that weight,
Turned the hurt into hustle till I lifted my fate.
Lookin’ back on the stress, I can finally see —
All that pressure in the pot made a better version of me.

[Verse 2 – melodic storytelling]
Had nights where my hands wouldn’t stop their shake,
Felt the weight of the world with each shift I’d take.
Sink full, heart full, but my patience thin,
Still I fought through the noise ‘cause I knew I’d win.
They were trapped in their smoke, couldn’t see past pain,
Said ambition was weakness, said growth was vain.
But I found my truth in the middle of the steam,
Turned trauma into passion, turned the struggle to a theme.
Now I pour my heart into every dish I plate,
And the kid they tried to break? Now he’s someone they can’t replace.
I’m the proof that the flame only sharpens the steel,
Pressure didn’t cook me — pressure taught me how to heal.
