Pressure
[Intro]
(Whoop!)
That's the sound you hear
(Whoop!)
Talking bout that's that sound you hear
That's the sound you hear
(Whoop!)
Let's get it
[Verse 1]
Filled with pressure and pain
Innocence gone with the wind
All I ever wanted to do was play the game
But
It's kinda crazy how i chose to school
When I really had no clue what to do
I turned to moms for help
She said
"Son you better get to stepping
Coz you key to success in this life is education"
Got both degrees in the bag like pick n pay groceries
This accomplished feat still didn't feed my need
So what I went to school?
Did that sh**
Got my degrees like thermometers
Now I'm in the corporate
Life getting s**ed out of me
Til I found what I wanted in this dichotomy
And then my journey led to ODC
Man it had to be
Music's always been in me from the start you see
Now this
Rap sh** brought the sun and changed my weather
Cleared the path and found the way
Now I gotta take the pressure
[Hook]
The pressure
I been dealing with whatever
Now I gotta take the pressure
The pressure
[Verse 2]
Man I gotta take the pressure
Giving all praise to the Blesser
Won't ever let 9 to 5 get the better
Of me
Had to wake up and chase after my dreams
I'll Excel at this like spreadsheets
But wait and see
ODMusic gon' direct the whole scene now
n***as acting crazy fronting like they can't see how
Forgetting what I taught em now they acting all senile
Best believe I'ma take my shot like I been fouled
O!
I'm at it again
Want money to spend
Own my thrown and stand as a man
f** paying the rent
Uh
I'm gonna do me regardless
Though i can't run away from these f**ing back charges
Rapping til the end til there's dirt where my heart is
Painting pics with words, bring the art where your thoughts is
Aim at moving targets
Heartless
Hit the jackpot, pulled the lever
Now I gotta take the pressure
[Hook]
The pressure
I been dealing with whatever
Now I gotta take the pressure
The pressure
[Verse 3]
Been rocking with Skan for a minute
On and off for 10 years if I remember
Started with an old mic and Fruity Loops
Now we got that sh** that make you raise the roof
We bout to do this sh** real big
Bout to do this sh** real big
Like tour the world and rock the mics kid
From S.A
To the Golden Gate
Got goals to crush the states
And in your minds I stay
In any state of mind
And give you cla**ic sh**
Without even trying
It's
Motherf**ing prominent
Bout to be a force that's dominant
And I spit that
Intelligible sh**
That you always gon hear
When I'm coming through your speakers quite clear
And I ain't gon retire
Nowhere near tired
Guess it's gon be a good year
I'll take the pressure
[Speech/Outro]
Shoutout my n***a 5 Stacks man, that n***a really helping me deal with the
(Pressure)
You know, you can get anything in this world
You just gotta take the
(Pressure)
If you going through anything, don't forget to chase your dreams, deal with the
(Pressure)
If its worth getting its worth grinding
And If its worth grinding its worth keeping
Take the
(Pressure)
You know, don't ever let anybody derail you
They just can't take the
(Pressure)
Always do you, stay true to yourself and deal with the
(Pressure)
You know, life gives you lessons sometimes
You just gotta take the
(Pressure)
Yea learn to Appreciate the pressure
[30 seconds of silence]
No Hook (Bonus track)
[Intro]
Uh
Its the ODC man
Yaaa
Look
[Verse 1]
Man this stress I don't need it
My plan to succeed got me thinking bout music from morning to evening
This sh** ain't a dream
Its a goal so much so that I see it when I'm sleeping
I'm hungry for more like a n***a need feeding
Like a n***a ain't eating
Man I ain't eating!
9 to 5 is a struggle
Ima try and do more than survive hence the hustle
Flex muscles on tracks like weekly
But I do this sh** so often you can't say I do it weakly
Hmm
Pardon my speech
I been wanting this since I was 13
Back when I had mo time
No dope rhymes
Kicking whack lyrics over whack Skan beats
Now we got heat like a fo five
But ain't no weapons when we step in
Just a dope producer and a dope Emcee
I gotta stay on my job
Just be my own boss
But of course
Can't forget my n***a Noir
Putting work in overseas
With Swiss beatmakers
Oh you know my squad so muhf**ing foreign
Uh!
Yea
Coz you know my n***a 4 Ever Noir's got that song foreign
Yea
And I told you
Ima do this with no hook
Ima do this with no hook
Uh
Yea
Yaa
Mmm
Uh
Yea
Look look
[Verse 2]
Damn Daniel!
Back at i again with the white vans
Kidnapping DJs for a mic stand
Coz a n***a needing airplay
Dominate the airwaves
Young n***a taking off like airplanes
Man cut all the hearsay
It be the same naysayers
In the same stable
Talking sh** when their a** caught up in the neigh-neigh/nae-nae
Pisces boy got yall marching like its May Day
Please pray!
(Please pray!)
For anybody step in my way
I ain't saying ima do nothing
If a n***a gotta prove something
Leave yall with nothing to say
Some b**h made braid rocking n***as
All up in my ear just sh** talking n***as
Watch your own career and stop dick jocking n***as
And ain't nobody come ever try stop me n***a!
Yea I want figures!
But more importantly I'm just tryna learn and let my mind grow richer
Start something for my family
Leave more career options for my sister
That's just me
ODMusic
SamK records
That's my muhf**ing family
Yea I'm a wild boy!
Steve-O couldn't handle me
Man I'm losing my mind please help!
I'll provide a finder's fee
Getting head in the bathtub
(In the bathtub)
While I'm listening to Jodeci
How do they know its me?
Simple as ABC
1 word 3 letters
ODC
And I'm gone
Uh
