Pressure ft. MYYTH Lyrics

You ain't gotta be street to be real

But we really dying in these streets

Cherish every moment, I fear

Losing memories in my sleep

My insomnia keeps my peers

Alive, but it's killing me

Cause' I ain't built for these tears

I'm tryina' ride out for the team

Man I wish you was still here

And they stop telling me what I need

I only look in the mirror

When i go insane and unseen

I be mixing dark with the clear

Cause' every dream is nightmare

Cold sweats when night nears

Project what I fear, I try not to

Or ever confuse the killmongers with the mbaku's

These cowards are sweet, they remind me of chicken katsu

Akbar is my mans, all praises due to Allahu

You can get it the ocky way, won't forget the bev when I pop you

Rambo by the hip, chain Rocky

Commando on a bitch, brain sloppy

In traffic with a zip, haze papi

They hate that I exist but y'all watch me

Cause the grain I go against is basmati

It's in the blood!

I can feel the pressure,

If you really want me to be honest!

I ain't learn my lesson,

I need to go where I won't hear em' talking!

You telling me you was moving different

Four straight nights, four different visions

But the same position

Cant change the pivot when you committed

It's a made decision

I won't reject it, I just don't accept it,

Connected, but now I'm left with, lessons buried in a message, a death wish gets no protection, move reckless, they leave you breathless, this check list from ancestors /

Tryin' take heed and move without my pride…/

But for me it's hard to see beyond this chalk outline -

You visited and mentioned that the lord was on my side… /

Begging God to save my soul

But dog how I survive alone in 8 below?

You say you with me cause' every step I take can take a toll

Lord gimmy the keys to accept the things I can't control -

Cause' this 40'll cook a nigga / ion' need my apron on -

You told me focus on this bread / and the house that we made a home -

Revenge is like it feel so right / can't be wrong -

That's how a nigga feel, I can't just let it go -

I told the family / what I think that they should know, it's in the blood

I can feel the pressure,

If you really want me to be honest!

I ain't learn my lesson,

I need to go where I won't hear em' talking!

It's like - /

Comparing some' Jay actually did to something that NaS said - /

We settle for symbols of hope / but dog that they ain't no progress - /

Need to appeal to the courts / Don't need appeal to they conscience - /

Putting our pain on display / is just us dying in the process - /

Don't need them to understand us or see how much we got in common /

Need to see each other as brothers / so no death is lossless - /

And keep that bread circulating no matter how much / it costs us -/

The type of love it would foster - /

End all the killing and nonsense /

It's bullshit! … /

If I retaliate I'll lose it all dummy /

Give you a fresh cut or get that oil sheen from me /

Coparent behind the wall with that Olsteen money… /

But I ain't tryin' Preach like I'm Cochise buddy /

Just keepin' it real all the way to top /

I won't argue with no nigga' Harriet Tubman would've shot /

But the writing is on the wall, so I submit to Ma'at /

But another nigga' violate? Gon' get that shot y'all think Eazy got / it's in the blood

I can feel the pressure,

If you really want me to be honest!

I ain't learn my lesson,

I need to go where I won't hear em' talking!
