Pressure Lyrics

Yeah yeah

Man I ain't never thought it would go like this

Yet I'm still holding on in these cold, high winds

And I know it won't be long in the words of Rakim

My respect for this is strong, I won't close my lips

But I feel these walls are closing in on me

And with all that I've gone through I think differently

I picture of doors I should be opening

And those I've chosen to close, yeah

But I've made my choices

I've raised my voice

And I've cancelled what noise I could hear

Till I go through it again

So now it's every night

I feel the time

When it's something I don't wanna see I dim the lights

I know what's on the line

But through my jaded eyes

There ain't a whole lot more than a gray sky

And I

Can only see what I need to

Be all I need to

Sleep till I'm see through

It's only pressure I need to feel

Though I'm my own engineer

All of these years later, still ain't mistaken

Know my reflection when I look in the mirror

Shown every person who I am, my words won't keep people near

Though I'm myself in every sentence that I let people hear

Still I see most disappear

Cuz I've made sacrifices

To reach a level no one's near and no one's patronizing

When I feel low these doubts I have are always amplifying

But when I'm up there's no one left I could be pacifying

This flame ain't ever dying

But I've made my choices

I've raised my voice

And I've cancelled what noise I could hear

Till I go through it again

So now it's every night

I feel the time

When it's something I don't wanna see I dim the lights

I know what's on the line

But through my jaded eyes

There ain't a whole lot more than a gray sky

And I

Can only see what I need to

Be all I need to

Sleep till I'm see through

It's only pressure I need to feel

One time too many

It's better if I feel till it feels too heavy

Keep filling up a plate till it gets too messy tonight

Yeah, yeah

And this ain't meant for many

I see how they sleep, imma take it if you let me

You gone have to take me out, better keep the gun steady

Tonight

Cuz I'm ready tonight
