Pressure

[Hook]
Pressure, dealing with the pressure
People always jocking me, wanting me to do better
I try my best not to thwart their efforts
And just go along with all the pressure

Yes sir, dealing with the pressure
People always jocking me, wanting me to do better
So I sit and write this song like a letter
As I drown in all of my pressure

[Verse 1]
Getting all the constant expectations
Gotta go to university and get an education
I know I can't make money off this music that i'm makin'
But I get distracted easily, what an imagination
Na, na, don't get me wrong, I don't lack direction
But my parents look at me and think they see perfection
Mom became successful, that's something I gotta deal with
Grad is coming, I'm stressing, and that's some real shit
Next year is so unclear, why can't I just get signed, it's so unfair
That's a question that has no answer
Like why do we get heart broken and why do people get cancer
It's just a way of life, suck it up buttercup
God won't make it easy till he knows you give enough
Until I become something I'm never giving up
Hold out my glass, I can feel the pressure filling up

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Teenage life is so much commitment
That's what happens when you're young and you're gettin' it
All the different things going on are a balancing act
Look around at people like, how you balancing that
There's family, girlfriend, homework, friends
Clubs, activities, my days never end
And it seems I'm tired more often
Forgetting to brush my teeth and stopped flossin', flossin'
High school in general is a lot to deal with
I miss the days of recess and field trips
Playground crushes, living in a fantasy the world meant nothin', nothin'
Days like these have passed
Now my future is decided by a grade in a class
Ain't responsibility a pain in the ass
When I was young I thought I'd go and get rich fast
Gotta give my best performance on stage and off
Excel at every area, impress the profs
It's hard to think about what's due tomorrow when you don't wanna do it at all
Although my situation now is not ideal, I will keep pleasing people till I sign a deal
That's why I take all the stuff I'm going through and put it on a track
Ah, now I'm relieved, wait the pressure's coming back
Damn
