[Bridge: Rapsody]
Ayo light, take all the delight
They hated✦ before✦ but now huh they love ya for life
The pressure,✦ I fight to stay on the path of my life to write the right
So many✦ wrongs we rollin’✦ the dice
On, make better✦ songs they’ll sing at their proms
They’ll share with their moms like look her era✦ da bomb
Bond with me for a minute✦ this is life
Can get the best of ya, don’t let it tonight
The pressure,✦ the pressure,✦ the pressure✦
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Rapsody]
Celebrations, I’m overdosin’ the vodka✦
All the days at mi casa,✦ workin’,✦ I had to blossom
No-one now in mi classa,✦ I graduated the roster✦
From So-so's to new flows, Tony✦ Kukcoc I block a
Buck, told ‘em all to get tough, wanna✦ be a rapper✦
Biggie, 3K, 2Pac-a,✦ get some hoes in your stockings
Hard work, but y’all wanna✦ flirt, success block us
Gold, silver,✦ and platinum — everybody✦ gon’ mock ‘em
It’s quite shockin’ like thunderstorms in Nevada✦
The way they treat you tomorrow if ever✦ you hit rock bottom
They all change another tune sang like Lady✦ Gaga✦
The Fame Monster [?] humongous, I’m like a kaka✦
Seen straight through it, so never✦ was victim to it
The pressure✦ that come along✦ with everything that we doin’
I’m tired,✦ my eyes wired,✦ wanna✦ cry a bit
I’m strong, it’s just sometimes I need to ex-a-tit✦ (exit)✦
Out, fightin exorcists, demons hide
‘Cause I still abide✦ by the angel on my ride
Side with no man sell my soul for change
The pressure✦ to stay true and never✦ fall for fame
[Bridge]
[Verse 3: Styles P]
Dealing with the pressure,✦ school of hard knocks new semester
I told you that the Ducthie the professor
Probably on the low like Soul Brotha✦ in Mecca✦
Work on the table with the gun on the dresser
I think I lost my mind like Heath Ledger✦ in the Dark Knight
Light the Dutchie hoping✦ that it spark right
Clap and hysteria, Captain America’s
Shield couldn’t block all this real shit I’m tellin’✦ ya
Like a felony✦ I bury✦ ya
Niggas still hustle a plate, a roll, a carrier
My pressure✦ bust pipes✦ homey✦
Fuck it — you better✦ think about✦ your life homey✦
Epic poetry✦ ask Rapsody✦
You want the hardest nigga✦ better✦ ask for me
Now that’s actually✦ near factually✦
I told 9th Wonder✦ “I’m the tenth, get back at me”
