Yeah
Late nights, early mornings
Turned doubt into devotion
Uh
Hook (Chorus)
Pressure on my back but I walk with poise
City full of echoes, had to find my voice
They was talkin’ down, I was makin’ noise
Built a throne from scraps, never had a choice
Pressure on my back but I walk with poise
Every closed door just increased my force
From the bottom rung to the highest floor
They hear me now — I don’t knock no more
Verse 1
I was raised where the hope run thin
Dreams get boxed like opponents in the ring
Had plans in my head, no funds in my jeans
Just faith in my steps and rust on my knees
Mama said, “Baby, don’t rush your crown”
So I learned patience while the world spun ‘round
Friends turn ghosts when the grind get loud
Now it’s me and the beat in a locked-in room
They want shortcuts, I want legacy
They want clout, I want equity
I was starving, now I’m fed by the rhythm
Every bar got pain, every line got vision
Hook (Chorus)
Pressure on my back but I walk with poise
City full of echoes, had to find my voice
They was talkin’ down, I was makin’ noise
Built a throne from scraps, never had a choice
Pressure on my back but I walk with poise
Every closed door just increased my force
From the bottom rung to the highest floor
They hear me now — I don’t knock no more
Verse 2
I learned silence is louder than flexin’
Success got a way of revealin’ intentions
They clap when you fall, disappear when you ascend
Now they askin’ for favors I don’t got to lend
I turned losses to lessons, scars to designs
Put my truth in the ink, now it’s permanent lines
I don’t chase no wave, I don’t ride no trend
I been me since day one, I’ll be me till the end
Heart cold but the vision warm
Storm in my chest but I weather storms
Every “no” just sharpened my pen
Now the booth feel holy, let me preach again
Bridge
Yeah
They love you when you’re broken
Fear you when you’re focused
Remember every night I was unnoticed
Now they notice
Hook (Chorus)
Pressure on my back but I walk with poise
City full of echoes, had to find my voice
They was talkin’ down, I was makin’ noise
Built a throne from scraps, never had a choice
Pressure on my back but I walk with poise
Every closed door just increased my force
From the bottom rung to the highest floor
They hear me now — I don’t knock no more
Outro
Yeah
This for the ones still waitin’ on they moment
Keep goin’
Pressure make diamonds
And I’m proof
