Pressure

(Chorus)
We work hard
Waiting for a day all of our work pay would but just in vain
We work hard
Never looking back, covering up all the tracks yet still in vain
But now we're free, we're free today, of all the troubles, struggles that came in our way
And we believe, we found the key, but still we toil and fight to shape our destiny
We work hard

(Verse 1)
5 0' clock, getting ready
Going to a work place that I hate already
I'm scared that can be my future, cos time is really speeding I ain't ready for that
Mom said get my grades up
Daddy told me I should man up
Sister told me I should work hard
I feel locked up in these bars
I took the manual for life
Scrolling and reading through scriptures
Bible said I shouldn't worry, but nah nah nah I feel the pressure
Looking for all these greenlights, Night vison in the nightlife
They say pressure makes diamonds, can't wait for the glow up
I am better than I was, all praise to the holy
I'm just tryna live carefree, but nuh nuh I feel the pressure

(Bridge)
New life
Same fight
Still in vain
We work....
For a place
God gives
But the same God takes
We work hard

(Verse 2)
Shs, SOS
Came to university and now I'm stressed
Feeling cursed
I'm a mess
I do not have it together like I said
No support
So we tryda build a label
Me and Snek and family we're for the people
No breaks
No gain
If growing up is this confusing I don't know
Whether I'm gon' be great
Whether this is my fate
Whether all these sacrifices one they might all pay
Whether I'm gon' be last
Or how long would I wait
Whether one day as I walk this journey I might loose faith
Whether I'm gon' make it through
Or one day maybe I will fold
Whether I will settle down
Have a family of my own
Whether all this education
Is gonna help me grow
Building bridges not barriers oh lord just take me home
So we just fight, all the darkness hidden inside
In the night, we crying to God
All this pressure keeping us flawed
And I write, so that I might just give hope
That you get insight into all of these fights struggles
The pressure keeping us humble
We live with all of this pain
We don't have to fake it
Growing up you'll make a lot of mistakes so just take it
You'll learn along the way
You cannot be perfect
Never make nobody make you feel like you're not worth it

(Chorus)
We work hard
Waiting for a day all of our work pay would but just in vain
We work hard
Never looking back, covering up all the tracks yet still in vain
But now we're free, we're free today, of all the troubles, struggles that came in our way
And we believe, we found the key, but still we toil and fight to shape our destiny
We work hard
