Neon Pressure

**[Intro]**

Yeah…

Street lights flicker on a cold night…

I been out here too long…

**[Chorus]**

Neon lights on my pain, I don’t sleep right,

Same faces, but they change in the streetlight.

Trust low, I don’t even do deep ties,

Everybody love you when the screen right.

I been ridin’ through the dark with a closed fist,

Pray the ones I love don’t switch when the phone hits.

Heart cold, but I smile like I don’t miss,

In the city where the love turn to slow diss.

**[Verse 1]**

Late night, 285, I’m just circlin’,

Thinking ‘bout the ones that was swervin’ when I wasn’t certain then.

Now they pop out like they part of the journey then,

Funny how the fake love start to feel urgent then.

I remember broke days, no plan, just survive,

Now it’s cameras on the face but I still ain’t alive.

Too much pressure on my name, gotta move like I hide,

‘Cause the same ones that cheer might be waitin’ outside.

I don’t talk much, I just read through the silence,

Smile in your face, but they study your guidance.

In Atlanta where the loyalty’s violins,

Play a sad song every time that it quiets in.

**[Chorus]**

Neon lights on my pain, I don’t sleep right,

Same faces, but they change in the streetlight.

Trust low, I don’t even do deep ties,

Everybody love you when the screen right.

I been ridin’ through the dark with a closed fist,

Pray the ones I love don’t switch when the phone hits.

Heart cold, but I smile like I don’t miss,

In the city where the love turn to slow diss.

**[Verse 2]**

Had a dream but it came with a shadow cost,

Every win feel like somethin’ that I had to lost.

Now I’m lookin’ at the fame like a paranoid,

‘Cause the noise get loud when you never avoid.

Ain’t no heroes where I’m from, just survivors,

Couple angels turn demons in designer.

I just move through the smoke, stay quiet,

‘Cause attention get you buried in the violence.

If I fall, I know nobody gon’ catch that,

So I walk with my pride where the past at.

And I don’t trust a smile where the laughs at,

In Atlanta, even love got a backlash.

**[Bridge]**

Cold nights, I been numb to the feeling,

High rise, but I’m stuck on the ceiling.

Everybody say they real, I ain’t feel it,

So I ride through the dark ‘til I heal it.

**[Outro]**

Neon lights fade slow when the pain hit…

Same city, but it never feel the same, yeah…
