Duke - Pressure lyrics

[Intro] It's time to start erasing the temptations we are constantly facing So while I play doctor with this medicinal music please be patient [Hook] The pressure, yeah I know you feel the pressure Swaying your opinions but they no longer impress you The pressure, that's the only way test you Treat you like a bu*ton, everybody trying to press you The pressure that tells you how to dress up Wearing wear that skirt so short it don't impress us The pressure, hoping that they don't forget you Take away the pressure and realize you're precious [Verse 1] Throughout my life, I gave in to plenty pressures But they ain't set me back by any bar or any measure Always found myself being pa**ionate for my pleasures So music's how I express it, I'm helping you see my message Still learning as I'm growing older Pressure got me heated, my water boiling over Pressure to make money, the bills piling over These days green been coming up shorter than Yoda But I still have that pressure to do right And pressure to buy it all every time there's a new hype Tonight, I'm sick of it all, it's flu-like Pressure all around and this space is too tight And the pressure still building I'm trying to find a way out of this pressure filled building Then it came knocking at my door And I tried to say no, but I felt [Hook] [Interlude] Without the pressures, who would've learned the lessons? And without the voices, how would we have made the choices [Verse 2] Never let the pressure get the best of you ‘Cause once he gets a piece, he wants the rest of you Taking orders, got you serving like a restaurant Everything you see him trying to make purchase some But let me say, pressure ain't all bad We get ahead of ourselves and need pressure to fall back Pressure for success now what you call that I'm not talking taking a cla** and hoping we all pa** Look deep there's more to it, who would've knew it Pressure got them confused looking puzzled like Rubik's So they sitting on the block, flagging colors all through it So the kids gon follow, cause their brother all do it Swerve, I'm trying to change their lanes Show them that there's more to life than just fame and chains So I hit the booth and did my best to let them know Teach them how to let it go, I'm talking about [Hook] [Outro] x2 Pressure I know you feel it, I know, I know Pressure Just let it go, let go, let go
