[Verse]
Sittin' in my dorm room
(snap, snap) tickin’ time bomb
Parents on my neck
They say
"Boy
Keep it calm."
Dreams on the shelf
Gatherin' that dust
But this pressure cooker life
It’s about to combust
[Prechorus]
Oh mama
Oh papa
(oo-yeah!) can't you see?
The weight of your hopes is crushin' me
[Chorus]
I’m not your A+ boy
No
No
No!
Got dreams in my heart
But where do they go?
Pressure
Pressure
Cookin’ my soul
Gotta find my groove
Gotta take control
[Verse 2]
Books pile high
Like bricks on my chest
But my rhythm’s outta tune
Can't give my best
I’m a bird in a cage
Singin’ off-key
Dreamin' of a world where I can just be me
[Prechorus]
Oh mama
Oh papa
(uh-huh!) hear my plea
I’m drownin’ in the ocean of who you want me to be
[Chorus]
I’m not your A+ boy
No
No
No!
Got dreams in my heart
But where do they go?
Pressure
Pressure
Cookin’ my soul
Gotta find my groove
Gotta take control
