Pressure

Yuh
Let's go, yuh
Said I got a lot of pressure, they don't know how I put on
Dreams float higher than a feather, wanna' make 'em all my own
Chains be dragging down they heavy, don't know how to take 'em off
And yeah I'm countin' up my blessings, but I struggled all along

My whole life been held to standard, only excellent was best
I'm swinging hard than a hammer, and I'm aiming for the fence
Call me Trout cuz I can do it all, I'm better than the rest
Wasn't easy blocking out all of the hate from what they said
My momma tellin' me I'm gonna make it, that's no matter what
I do the most and I can't fake it, they all tellin' me I'm dumb
Work the hardest in the paint, I do the most for everyone
And I forget about myself when I go in and get caught up
I do my thing, and it's on my own, ain't get help from no one
And yeah I wrote this by myself, go check the stats I'm heatin' up
Shoutout Pop for getting me in studio, I run it up
I'ma make my city proud and prove myself to everyone
I was blessed to be so privileged, from the way that I grew up
All my struggle it was mental, always trying to keep up
Say I'm blessed with intelligence, I guess that I'm alright
But when you overthinkin' everything it tends to mess ya' mind
Thoughts are racing at the speed of light, I'm writin' all the bars
They come to me second nature like I'm writing from the heart
If I wrote it out it's probably true, so I can get a guard
Like a poet with the pen or like hero with a sword
Swear my mind is never open, always keeping the gate closed
Ain't letting nobody in I gotta keep my thoughts composed
Got a storm cloud in me and I wonder if I'm supposed
To know just 'bout how to fix it while I'm staying unopposed
Enemy is just my self, but only from another side
And the clock just keep on tickin' as the day turn into night
Or so it seems I'm thinking quick it's like I'm caught inside my mind
Wrote this song in twenty minutes so I knew that I'd be right
And I know I ain't rich yet, but guess I'm in the right mindset
They say to think like what you wanna' be so I just think success
Always hold myself accountable, I stay perfection-esque
But with that mindset comes a burden and the only one is stress
Cuz I got pressure all up on me, from my shoulders to my feet
I just wanna be the best, don't wanna end up on the street
They say "Louis you can do it, look at you and I believe"
But I come home and start to thinking and I cry into the sheet
Yea I know that it's a long shot, but I'm staying on my grind
So many tracks for this tape that just didn't come cross the line
Put it all out in my music, hope one day someone can see
And one day what was just a hobby could be something more for me

Said I got a lot of pressure, they don't know how I put on
Dreams float higher than a feather, wanna' make 'em all my own
Chains be dragging down they heavy, don't know how to take 'em off
And yeah I'm countin' up my blessings, but I struggled all along

I got pressure
I got pressure all up on me
Lotta' weight on my shoulders
Carry the weight of my own mind as I grow older

I'ma stay real forever
Prove my worth
Grind out, despite what I'm going through
It's only me
Yuh, yuh
