The Pressure - Phora

Yeah, 6:35 in the morning

We in the studio talking about life

Where we think we going to be in 2 years

Having late night conversations and someone brought up the fact.

We can’t take none of this shit when we leave the planet

So what’s the purpose?

I’ve been thinking what’s life really mean when it’s all over?

I’ve been drinking too much, my mind been trying to stay sober

Lately I been stressing, all this pressure on my shoulders

I’m trying to get right with god, but I don’t feel no closer

Every time I pray man, he never answers my questions

Man, starting to feel like life ain’t no blessing

We ain’t got no direction, cops killing us not protecting

Pops said if you rollin' round through these streets, carry you a weapon

So I went and got me a .38, but I probably ain’t gon' use it

Really man, the only weapon that I need is this music

Never said I’m perfect, but homie I’m not stupid

Sometimes I feel worthless and sometimes I feel useless

But I ain’t got no time for that now, I ain’t got no patience

Runnin' round through these streets man, only end up in two places

Niggas got two faces, rich folk they all racist

Family comes first man cuz those the ones that I came with

Yeah, they all know I ride for my people

Yeah, they all know I die for my people

They know the deal (deal)

All my niggas know it’s real, it’s real

Look, I was born in 9−4

Both middle fingers up

Niggas speak on how they feel, but really I could give a fuck

Young nigga trying to change the world

Some people show me love

Some people want to kill me

Some people want to go and set me up

But I been through way too much

So why the fuck would I stop now?

All the haters wanna talk now

Put the fists up, put the Glocks down

And I ride round.

my city like

Everybody know.

I done came so far, but still got a long way to go

Yeah, they all know I ride for my people

Yeah, they all know I die for my people

They know the deal (deal)

All my niggas know it’s real, it’s real
