Write You A Song (Pressure Makes Diamonds)

You asked me if I'd ever write you a song, I said no
I only sing 'bout what I'm feeling right now
Right now I won't
Be dealing with that pressure, pressure, no
I won't be dealing with that pressure
Pressure no I won't

Got some fan mail earlier today, left it by the fireplace
Almost forgot about it, my mistake
So I figured I'd open it as I light a j
And try to keep my mind at bay
But something stood out right away
It was written in this scarlet ink I never seen before
And started off with, hey Marley Ranks, my name is Marley too
And I know you probably thinking you're one of a kind
But that's hardly true, I grew out the locks, I bought the socks
My own mom even thought I was you, I followed you
Into the light tryna fight to find a connection
Paid a therapist for depression, and he never paid attention
To a thing I mentioned, rage and tension, bro which way is the exit
Should've never gave you the credit, oh how instantly I'd regret it
And off the record
I think that you're a dishonest man with an evil core
A liar, who pulled me back in the fire when I was leaping forward
And you're why I'm again suicidal and on the brink of going
Writing lyrics to you in blood from this cut, you see me flowing
See we had a chance to meet before
I was at ya concert and my hand you was reaching for
But your stupid manager Haze
Pushed you forward and told you keep it going
Plus I'm recording this at the moment so you can see me torn
Cause the next time we speak
It might have to be through a Ouija board

You asked me if I'd ever write you a song, I said no
I only sing 'bout what I'm feeling right now
Right now I won't
Be dealing with that pressure, pressure, no
I won't be dealing with that pressure
Pressure no I won't

And I should cause nobody believes I would but I could
I could end it all right here
Is racing straight toward the light my only bright idea
Getting goosebumps as I decide to author all my fears
I feel like I lost Ranks, and that's why I'm dropping tears (tiers)
To me it appeared, you needed someone to lend you an ear
I could tell that from ya music in all the emotion I hear
Your wise words stopped me from plotting on jumping
Off of that pier
I felt somebody understands me, I finally found a peer
The timing was weird, but I heard ya message loudly and clear
I streamed every song you dropped and even copped all your gear
Drove 600 miles for a show you only do twice a year
Just for you to walk past as if I'm not even here

You asked me if I'd ever write you a song, I said no
I only sing 'bout what I'm feeling right now
Right now I won't
Be dealing with that pressure, pressure, no
I won't be dealing with that pressure
Pressure no I won't

Are we recording? What's good Marley
I opened your letter, and I jumped straight in the booth
I even created a Twitch account I'm livestreaming this too
I just hope that in some form of fashion that this gets back to you
Before you think of doing drastic and then go actually through
You see I used to think that I could hide my problems away
And get by through life with this fake smile on my face
I use to curse at the higher powers for my outlook to change
But see I'm here to provide you with a different outcome today
Cause see I know how you feel different
And everyone round you live so simple, yeah that pressure
The number 1 cause of depression when it weighs on ya' mental
You gave me an ultimatum, by the end of the day
You'll know your special, homie I get you
Brodie I got you, let me go boot up this instrumental

You asked me if I'd ever write you a song, I said no
I only sing 'bout what I'm feeling right now
Right now I won't
Be dealing with that pressure, pressure, no
I won't be dealing with that pressure
Pressure no I won't

Ain't dealing with ya', ain't dealing with ya, nah
Ain't dealing with ya', ain't dealing with ya. nah nah
Nah
