Pressed

(专辑： Snubnose - 2019)

My back is against the wall, more bills than money to pay
And I know, just who, just who to call on when I need relief, I pray
To help me fight the pressures of the world
The pressures, the pressures

Uh, my stomach growling plus my little sister and little bro gotta eat too
Go tell somebody who love you you're pursuing your dreams and watch how they treat you
I need healing and a blessing, mama dealing with depression
I know because I deal with it daily but still gon' kill it in the session
This is bigger than the flexing, money, cars and the gold necklace
I gotta heat up for my team, I can't go on cold stretches
This that living in the car, scribbling the bars, haven't slept for days
And giving your all to your music so you and your girl just go y'all's separate ways
It hurts when there's nothing left to say, she need time but I can't put that time aside
It's either take off with these raps or I live all my days slaving at a 9 to 5
Sorry, I can't do no 9 to 5
It's not that I'm lazy but I know my worth and it's way more than what they would pay me
Shit, you probably think that I'm crazy and I hope this money will save me but I know this money won't save me
At least it can help out my babies, when college tuition is something
I'm peeling back layer after layer after layers like I'm peeling onions
More flavor for the soul food, dish it to 'em over Pro Tools, wash it down with a cold brew

Bills to pay and everybody poor, eviction notice, ain't nowhere to go
Now I'm back to laying on the floor, mama say she praying for me though
Getting high to take me from the lows, at any time my pistol might blow
'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know
'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know
'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know
'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know
'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know

Eastside of Atlanta, where I stay
Mama took the bus like every day
Why was your ass in YMCA?
I ate cereal and PB&J
Auntie told me that I need to pray
Me and grams was sleeping feet to face
'Posed to went to college for the knowledge
I went off to school and caught a case
I still owe Sallie Mae three thou', EBT balance on speed dial
I barely get any sleep now, I need the pressure relief valve
Bitch, do not ask me to freestyle, I can't do shit for the free-free
I can't do shit off of GP, mama was pawning the TV
We borrowed money from aunties, talking no heat in the winter
Them was some weeks to remember, fuck is we eating for dinner?
Heating water in the microwave, the crib be candle lit until the light gets paid
And even when the crib was pitched black, mama said we gon see brighter days

Bills to pay and everybody poor, eviction notice, ain't nowhere to go
Now I'm back to laying on the floor, mama say she praying for me though
Getting high to take me from the lows, at any time my pistol might blow
'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know
'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know
'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know
'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know
'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know
