Pressure Built Me

Yeah…

Everything I am came from pain

Pressure bust pipes — or build gods

Pressure built me, pain made it stick

Had to carry that weight ‘til my bones damn near split

I ain’t fold, I ain’t flinch, I just tightened that grip

Took losses in silence, now I pop my shit

If I said I’m good, just know that’s a lie

I just learned how to hurt while I look in your eye

Still keep one close, can’t sleep too long

I don’t trust no soul, just grip and go

I was knee-deep in the rain, tryna mask my rage

Fake love in my face, real hate backstage

Had to move with a heart full of cuts

‘Cause the ones that I love turned greedy as fuck

Ops still lurkin’, but I’m past that phase

If it ain’t ‘bout respect, I don’t match that page

Still press play when I feel too numb

Still got pain that ain’t never been sung

Grew colder, got smarter

Now I stack like karma

Bro got hit, so I move like a shadow

Gun in my coat like it’s part of the flannel

I don’t chase smoke, but I’ll light that fuse

They see pain in my step when I slide in shoes

This ain’t rap, this war in a verse

They gon’ feel every scar, every bar, every curse

Pressure built me, pain made it stick

Had to carry that weight ‘til my bones damn near split

I ain’t fold, I ain’t flinch, I just tightened that grip

Took losses in silence, now I pop my shit

If I said I’m good, just know that’s a lie

I just learned how to hurt while I look in your eye

Still keep one close, can’t sleep too long

I don’t trust no soul, just grip and go

Say I changed? You damn right

I was too loyal, too blind to spite

Now I cut ties quick and I peep that shade

Smile on my face with a heart decayed

Whole lotta snakes in the field, I know

But I move too slick, let the real ones grow

If you ain’t been down, don’t claim this route

You ain’t bleed for the wins — don’t speak that clout

Ain’t no love when the world go dark

Just me, and this weight on my heart

Still got dreams I ain’t speak on yet

Still got names I ain’t leave in the past

If they come for me, just know I ain’t runnin’

One in the head, and the pain keep drummin’

And if this my last, I want y’all to see —

This pressure ain’t break me, it birthed a beast

Pressure built me, pain made it stick

Had to carry that weight ‘til my bones damn near split

I ain’t fold, I ain’t flinch, I just tightened that grip

Took losses in silence, now I pop my shit

If I said I’m good, just know that’s a lie

I just learned how to hurt while I look in your eye

Still keep one close, can’t sleep too long

I don’t trust no soul, just grip and go

Yeah…

Pressure made me, but it never broke me

Let’s get to the final chapter
