Under Pressure

I would've stayed with you
Til the end of time
You were like the reason I became the dude
That they despise, bitch I layed with you
In this bed of lies every fucking day
7:45 am I was late for school but still I stayed home
Praying that this pain would subside, please just one time
God heal my ill mind, I will find a reason to live
Before I kill myself
Depression almost made me do it
Betrayed me and it made me ruthless
I'm talking crazy, baby
No need to label me stupid, already knew it
Not a human, I'm a mutant, he was born in the sewer
Yeah but still I maneuvered out the gutter
Made myself some bread
Spreading out the butter
Some to my bro's, a lot to my mother
Swear to God I'm never gonna fail under pressure
Getting very close

My cell keeps ringing, leave me alone
We're not that close, don't call my phone
It not like you care now
You never did (you never did)
All you want is a handout
That's what it always is, that's what it always is

Jogging your memory, I'm reminding you
There's so much I was trynna prove
Rather than go and buy new shoes
I'd save a dime or two for some studio time
And yes I had anxiety 'cause I was new to rhyming
But I knew I had to try it, I was failing school
So everything was riding on me showing up inside the booth
And spitting rhymes to blow me up so mom could retire
Look at you now, Luke
Uninspired from running on tired
But hell no failures not an option, coming down to the wire

I feel the weight of the world
My shoulder blades are the cup
Pressure is breaking my neck
10,000 people expect
Me to deliver my soul even when nothing is left
Gotta dig deep in my chest
99 reasons to stress
Then I'll be aiming for more
How much you need me to grow?
25 years you been broke
Promised I'd buy her a home
I feel the weight of the world
I feel the weight of the world
I feel the weight of the world
I feel the weight of the world

My cell keeps ringing, leave me alone
We're not that close, don't call my phone
It's not like you care now, you never did
All you want is a handout
That's what it always is, that's what it always is

That's just what it always is
Who's there left to call a friend?
Publicly I'm crying out for help, nobody offered it
The industry would let me die if it meant more views
No, they don't care, they're profiting
As long as I keep entertaining the audience
Fuck it though, if I'm going down in plain time
Better tuck and roll
Like getting back up with a punctured hole
In my lung and a busted nose
But I still never got no punches thrown
My stomach grumbles, I'm under pressure
Been hungry for too long
Yo Lou gone, we cutting it close

My cell keeps ringing, leave me alone
We're not that close, don't call my phone
It ain't like you care now, you never did (you never did)
All you want is a handout
That's what it always is, that's what it always is
