9th Wonder - Under Pressure lyrics

[Intro - Sample from "Walk On By" by The Undisputed Truth] If you see me walking down the street And I start to cry, each time we meet Walk on byyyyy [Skyzoo - talking over Intro] To my other half To my other half, huh [Verse 1 - Skyzoo] (Sample) To my other half or what used to be, what I used to know How it used to seem and however it used to go Never foresaw change as an all and all But now I'm all for change, baby call this off (if you see me) See my intentions were good with tryin to be in this But I tried seein it and couldn't find me in it And I was IDin it, lookin for a reason to fall back But still daydreamin of call backs (if you see me) I guess it was denial, I gave up the fight Hopin you could downplay the down plays of my life I sang "job well done", holdin banners in the stands 'Til you switched, now when I think of handin you a hand (if you see me) I get, a little less enthused Cause everything should be the same if we've been true But everything is rearranged and I'm lookin for a light switch Wishin that I never had to write this Knowin that (if you see me) [Hook - Skyzoo] - w/ ad libs I'm tryin to be the best man that I can But you fail to realize where I stand And I'm, under pressure, the last thing I need Is you tellin me, we can no longer be Ma, I'm tryin to be the best man that I can But you fail to realize where I stand And I'm, under pressure and everything I do I do for us two but you got me tryin to move [Verse 2 - Skyzoo] (Sample) They say you fear what you don't understand, try to bury it And criticize the chances that you don't ever get So from the outside scopin in They look towards you to provide the hope for them (if you see me) And they bein your friends, hate me yet again But it's cool, cause none of them made me in the end But as for you, I put you on a higher plane So high it made it easier to fly away (if you see me) See I ain't use no one opinion about you to out you Never entertained a reason to ever doubt you But leave it up to you to play follow along They mad cause they don't have and you droppin it off (if you see me) And the same ones callin you, sayin what you ought to do Wasn't tryin to help you with everything that you thought you knew And I felt for you, wishin I could be there But no matter what I told you, you never really cared and (if you see me) [Hook - Skyzoo] - w/ ad libs I'm tryin to be the best man that I can But they fail to realize where I stand And I'm, under pressure, the last thing I need Is them tellin me, we can no longer be Ma, I'm tryin to be the best man that I can But they fail to realize where I stand And I'm, under pressure and everything I do I do for us two but they got me tryin to move [Verse 3 - Skyzoo] (Sample) He say, she say, they say, we say Pointin fingers at anybody to earn leeway All the things you didn't know but might've wondered I was tryin to find an excuse to fight 'em under (if you see me) I spent more time replyin instead of tryin But could've spend half of that time and stopped lyin Lyin to myself and tellin me what I wanna hear Hopin it could erase the sh** I've done in there (if you see me) Heartbeat, runnin scared, outside, freezer box Know I got the perfect but I still wanted to see what I could pull So it was all tug a war Missed calls replaced the rose petal covered floors (if you see me) Miss Wrong, you was right and you deserve different And yeah I work different but know that my hurt isn't So no matter the weight, I'm willin to deal with it And hopefully we still with it (if you see me) [Hook - Skyzoo] - w/ ad libs Cause I'm just really tryin to be the best man that I can But I failed to realize where I stand And I'm, under pressure, the last thing I need Is me tellin me, we can no longer be Ma, I'm tryin to be the best man that I can But I failed to realize where I stand And I'm, under pressure and everything I do I do for us two but I got me tryin to move [Outro - Skyzoo - talking] (Sample) (If you see me) To my other half To my other half To my other half To my other half (If you see me) (If you see me)
