I wrote “No Pressure” from the vantage point of a young man, possibly but not necessarily gay, who simply wanted to admire another guy that he thought was cool or looked up to. I feel a lot of times there is a stigma between straight and gay black men where straight men think all gay men want them....
[Verse 1]
Strong heart with a soft mind
Wonder why you worry bout what lesser people think
Head lifted with closed eyes
I wish you could see you’re more than what you really think
You could simply walk by
Out of body my spirit wants to mingle with yours
And never tell you goodbye
[Verse 2]
Won’t you rest a moment
Take a chance to see all of the colors that you missed
Greens and blues my favorite
I’m sure that they could mix with yours, the perfect compliment
And we don’t have to touch yet
I’m content with only looking deep into your soul
Cuz that is where your love lies
Yeah
[Hook]
Baby no pressure comes from me
We can just take it easily
Everything goes with your timing
Baby no pressure
No Pressure
Yeah
[Verse 3]
What a beautiful black life
You work hard for others when the fight is at your door
Forgive me for my eyes
I’ve never seen a king mixing with their subjects unknown
Give thanks to the most High
He was in his bag when he sent you to our shores
I’m only here to publicize
[Hook]
Baby no pressure comes from me
We can just take it easily
Everything goes with your timing
Baby no pressure
No pressure, no pressure, no
Yeah
[Bridge]
I only wanna celebrate
Levitate
And make you feel a way
(No pressure, no pressure, no pressure, baby)
I only wanna liberate
Elevate
And show you better days
(No pressure, no pressure, no, yeah)
I only wanna celebrate
Levitate
And make you feel a way
(No pressure, no pressure, no pressure, baby)
(Baby no pressure)
I only wanna liberate
Elevate
And show you better days
(No pressure, no pressure, no)
(Baby no pressure)
(Yeah)
[Outro]
And when it’s all said and done
And you still feel raw about it
I’ll be waiting
