Pressure

[Intro]
You know…
I wrote most of this song when I was 14 years old
Here’s me bringing it back to life, 6 years later:

[Verse]
Lately I’ve been thinkin' bout’ a check (about a check, uh)
How will I get to the next? (to the next, uh)
Am I really I here for a check? (for a check?)
Spending all my money to regret, woah (to regret, woah)
All this competition tryna to flex, woah (flex)
All this pressure on me to impress, woah (impress)
Insecurity with the stress, uh (stress)
Damn, this life got me looking hexed
"Gucci, I got prada, Blalenciaga, on they feet, (yeah!)
Can we walk together, even though we don't agree”
Yeah, this is what I hear (hear)
Every single year (year), coming from my peers (peers)
Tryna’ make it real (real)
I cannot relate, no I cannot fit in (yeah)
How can I beat this energy coming from within?
I ain’t tryna’ sin, but living in this world got me living under it
I'm not here to judge, no, I won't throw a stone
Boy getting stoned, tryna’ find a way to cope
Girlie doing coke, cause’ she’s losing all her hope
I all really hope is, I never fall again
In the same cycle, tryna be my own rival
Chilling with the right folks, that's vital
I don't need a xan , I don't need a [hoe]
All the fake friends, I don't need those (I don’t need em’)
Oh, sorry not sorry that’s how it goes
Man, get out of my face, you’re way too close
Woah…
I don’t wanna sound rude but I’m sick of these rules
Cause’ I ever had a good grip
Always talking bout kicks but
You couldn’t walk in my shoes, even if they could fit
Always under pressure, (always under pressure) yeah
It’ll leave you in a stretcher (it’ll leave you in a stretcher)
Woah, and you never wanna mess up (and you never wanna mess up)
Aye, but now you’re dealing with the stress huh? (c’mon, c’mon)
Everybody crumbles (crumbles)
We keep falling short when it’s time to measure (yeah)
I wanna be myself just everybody else
But my friends hit me with that peer pressure

[Interlude: Bente Koelink]
But, what exactly is peer pressure?
It is giving it’s influence from members of your peer group
Now, people give into peer pressure because they want to be liked
To fit in or
Because they worry that kids will make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group
In addition, people give in because they lack self confidence
As they often, do not accept who they are

[Interlude II: Myles Munroe]
Whoever controls your heart, controls your life
Whoever can get enough information into your subconscious mind
Will control you
Cause’ as man thinketh in his heart, that’s the man
So if you want to control the man
All you got to do is control his heart

The subconscious mind is your heart
