Pressure
(专辑: Reason To Smile - 2022)
How you gon' act when the
cameras flash? Would you strike a
pose? Would you double back? Can you withstand the
pressure? And how you gon' move when all eyes on you? Could you walk a
day in my shiny shoes? Can you withstand the
pressure? Keep your heart cold, play your part Even when it's hard, don't let 'em take yo' heart from you Many men gon' miss the
missing Friends might get to switching on you Twitter fingers sneak dissing Back-stabbing, incision Brothers I
would ride for, I
don't know their new addresses Mothers I
would cry with, even though I
know who did it Secrets I
might die with Couple masks I
slide with Way before the
virus, way before the
millage God knows I
been trying Getting every night in Mama told me, "Patience is the
key," and she weren't lying Done with all the
crying, fussing, and defying Heavy is the
crown, but, I'ma wear it 'til I
die You're supposed to be the
king, people still depending on you Even on yo' dark days, keep a
little love inside you Keep a
little hope aside, defend it like the
back four Even when the
Devil stride Even when your homies die Way before the
summertime That happened in another life Niggas die everyday B, you'll be alright If you stop, the
money's stopping And we ain't going back to crime Stop all the
complaining bro, remember that you chose this life So— How you gon' act when the
cameras flash? Would you strike a
pose? Would you double back? Can you withstand the
pressure? And how you gon' move when all eyes on you? Could you walk a
day in my shiny shoes? Can you withstand the
pressure? (Uh) In 2017, I
had a
five-figure debt In 2018, I
had to find my respect I
know my inner peace was never comfortable with less 2019, my compliments to the
chef, I'm cooking Season with a
little bit of luck 2020 came, I
made a
mill' before lunch Took my family shopping for a
house out in Count' In a
real-life, show you what it takes, but, you won't know what it feels like To hold this kind of weight and still walk with your head high My noose was getting looser every time I
took a
step Money came in faster than I
knew what to do with it From young, I
got condition like a
movie from Coober Rick To think it would clocked be that I
wanted some stupid shit Fell in love with pussy and petroleum on lonely nights Gave a
lot of wisdom, wasn't taking my own advice I
didn't get warning if were talking 'bout— How you gon' act when the
cameras flash? Would you strike a
pose? Would you double back? Can you withstand the
pressure? And how you gon' move when all eyes on you? Could you walk a
day in my shiny shoes? Can you withstand the
pressure? My life in Ghana was alright, it was okay But, you know, when you are in Ghana and the
opportunity come To come to England, you jump for it Especially when my mother struggled in life Raising her children— So when I
had a
chance to come, my aim is to come And then work hard, and look after her as well And I
came in at wintertime, which was December So it was hard, and that I
wanted to go back
