[Hook]
Press harder, press harder
Just hold on, just hold on
Press harder, press harder
Just hold on, just hold on
[Verse 1]
I believe everything happens for a reason
And everything that's gon' evolve will happen in its season
The sun revolves, I'm just happy to be breathin'
Will my search for happiness and hope that shadows all the grievin'
My heart patterns every time she say she leavin'
God, we failed at marriage probably cause we stopped believin'
I'm not embarrassed, proud of all of my achievements
Lent from all the dirty floors I fall upon to repent
I'm calling on the Lord, but as of recent
Feel like I'm just talking on the floors with my knees bent
'Cause I ignore the signs He present
And turn around and straight ignored the ones He resent
Hoodies underneath my coat that hang knee length
The safety pin stands for hope, that was just re-bent
Like a soul that needs to be quenched and deep wrenched to be drenched
Forever seek strength, blind elephant
[Hook]
Press harder, press harder
(You know at the end of the day all you can do is do your best)
Just hold on, just hold on
(With all you got, keep fakin', gotta keep pushin')
Press harder, press harder
(I don't even care about being the best rapper anymore, rap game is terrible)
Just hold on, just hold on
(I just want to be known for something great, I just want to be remembered)
[Verse 2]
The pressures of this album got me stressed
Soon as I think the flood is gone here comes another test
This writer's block is bugging to my flesh
I can't connect, tough to I come up with something I don't rest
Thirteen hours at that table I reflect
On a praying conversation sitting in the car with x
Complaining to him about the whys and whos that had me stressed
He said get comfortable with being uncomfortable, you being stretched
Like longitude which constitutes the East from West
Or blind masseuse behind you moving fingers up your neck
Can't even chill without some cat who rhyme that's screaming, lets connect
But chop and field the very moment you decline they lose respect
It's so surreal, 99% of the time I'm too depressed
If I don't answer when you blowing up my line just shoot a text
Know you ill when you don't know the gift from God that you posses
And folks are thrilled by stuff that you once said is fire, but in reject
Blind elephant
[Hook]
Press harder, press harder
(I mean, life get's you down brother)
Just hold on, just hold on
(I mean, two weeks ago I walked to my living room
I got a slip under my door saying I owe $3100)
Press harder, press harder
(And on top of that I just paid T-Mobile to get my phone back on)
Just hold on, just hold on
(Now they sayin' I owe 300 more dollars, my phone's [?] turned off, this is real)
[Bridge]
At times I feel alone
As if I don't belong
It gets lonely at times
When all my strength is gone and I can't carry on
I stretch my wings to open and fly
And fly, and fly
And I wear my safety pin, and I wear my safety pin
I wear my safety pin
[Hook]
Press harder, press harder
Just hold on, just hold on
Press harder, press harder
Just hold on, just hold on
