Palm Trees & Pressure

Shorts on

Slides on

Salt hair

Iced arm

Came up

Stayed calm

Now we mix wave with the war drum (hey!)

Sunrise on the pier

Still active

Sand on my slides from the last shift

Cousin in the back rollin' past tense

Talkin' ’bout the days we ain’t have this

Poke plate

Styrofoam

That’s lunch

Big goals on a bench by the palms

Old heads say pray

Keep ya guard

’Cause the smile get you first

Then the harm

Palm trees and pressure

Wave after wave

I measure

Cool breeze on my face

That leisure

But the block still talk ’bout treasure

Palm trees and pressure (yeah)

Laugh loud just to drown that tension

Two sides to the same blue heaven

Hawaiian vibe mixed with the lesson

Auntie at the church

Tryna save us

Group chat light up when the pay bust

Hula at the fest

Then it’s straight cuts

Same kids switch fit when the day shut

Slide in the slippers to the corner

Lei on the dash for the culture

Ride slow

But the mind go colder

Every hug hide a hand on the shoulder (watch that)

Palm trees and pressure

Wave after wave

I measure

Cool breeze on my face

That leisure

But the block still talk ’bout treasure

Palm trees and pressure (oh-oh)

Laugh loud just to drown that tension

Two sides to the same blue heaven

Hawaiian vibe mixed with the lesson

How you smile with a scar on your heart?

How you dance when you torn apart?

We just chant in the dark

Light a spark

Then we breathe

Then we breathe

Then we laugh it off (ha)

Palm trees and pressure

Wave after wave

I measure

Cool breeze on my face

That leisure

But the block still talk ’bout treasure

Palm trees and pressure

Laugh loud just to drown that tension

Two sides to the same blue heaven

Island drill

That’s the new confession (yeah)
