Pressure Built Me (Freestyle)

[Intro]
Yeah
They only see the wins
Not the nights I ain’t sleeping
Still grateful though (Haha)

[Verse 1]
Started broke, no peace, just pain and hunger
Dreams got louder, streets got younger
Mom said Pray, but the rent got longer
So I prayed with my grind, made my faith stronger
Cold nights taught me more than books did
Loyalty’s rare, even bro got crooked
Trust’s like glass, once cracked, can’t push it
I move smart now, every move’s got footage
Labels calling, but I still feel hollow
Flashbacks hit when the champagne swallow
I ain’t from luck, I’m from pressure and sorrow
Still can’t rest, might not wake up tomorrow

[Hook / Refrain]
Pressure built me, pain refined me
Still lost some friends, cousins, and uncles, but the truth behind me
They see shine, not the nights that blind me
Talk my truth - no cap, just find me

[Verse 2]
Trap phone ring, I ignore that tone
‘Cause peace hit harder when you built your own
Still stay real in designer clothes
Still feel cold when the heater blows
Can’t fake paths I already paved
Didn’t chase fame, I just dodged the grave
They watch my steps like I’m meant to fall
But I learned pain’s just rent for the soul

[Outro]
110 on the clock, same tempo as life
Keep it real, that’s all that’s left
