[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 sh** 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, s** it up bu*tercup God won't make it easy till he knows you give enough Until I become something I'm never giving up Hold out my gla**, 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 pa**ed Now my future is decided by a grade in a cla** Ain't responsibility a pain in the a** 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 [Hook]
