Pressure feat. Erykah Badu (Prod. Stephen)
I feel sad because people's, uh, emotions and fears were being manipulated
You know, the lowest parts of people have been manipulated
To really believe or think that they can
Um, separate, from the whole
We, we want all, theres no separating, its an illusion
They tried to get me under pressure
But you know I never settle
I got my eyes on the medal
So you know Id never let up
Pressure, pressure, pressure
When I was 9, SWAT team came rushin in
Daddy on the floor, they put a gun to him
Ever since, been runnin from the government
Lessons as a kid to be a better man
Lookin back at it, I was fortunate
Still was a kid, it could have haunted me
New to this country, I was growing up
Still wasnt strong enough, took some of my innocence and burned it down
Lifes not fair, I learned that way too quick
Most important lesson, man, just please dont quit
Runnin in a circle, tryna figure ourselves
Police on the corners tryna put us in cells
If God exists then why he put us in hell?
Sirens all around, its like were stuck in a spell
Lookin for the light, its like Im seekin for joy
Its like Im seekin for help, its like Im seekin for love, no
They tried to get me under pressure
But you know I never settle
I got my eyes on the medal
So you know Id never let up
Pressure, pressure, pressure
Look here dad, Im a man now
I know the world is scary, I cant backdown
Cause everything I learned back then made me sharp
This is coming from the heart, paranoia from the start
A wise man once told me
Watch out for those you call friend cause they all phony
Time will tell their story, so I do it on my lonely
What the **** am I doing?
Lord forgive me, I feel so ruined
Been a few years since I been to church
Feel so loved, yet I still hurt
Maybe I need a therapist
Maybe this is was just destiny
Come on, everybody, quiet down
I need some sense of peace
Go long
But I always stay strong
Cause life goes on, so you gotta hold on
Angels comin in the mornin
That means Im goin home
They tried to get me under pressure
But you know I never settle
I got my eyes on the medal
So you know Id never let up
Pressure, pressure, pressure
Stay strong, baby, nah
Stay strong, baby, yeah
Stay strong, stay strong, stay strong, oh
Stay strong, baby, nah
Stay strong, baby, yeah
Stay strong, stay strong, stay strong, oh
There are energies and we feel them and they could be parts of our—ourselves
Could be parts of us
You know the parts of us that are
Are vibrating on lower frequencies
That are fighting to, uh, stay on top
