[Bridge]
There's a long, hard road ahead
But a voice inside me said
You know there's something that you need to know
It's gonna be alright
[Hook]
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
(I feel the pressure)
I feel so good
I even touch the sky
In my neighborhood, so
Here I come again
(I feel the pressure)
[Verse 1: Veteran]
Uh, let's burn down the Alamo
n***as under pressure, sooner or later we just gotta blow
Trapped in this small room that's closing in real slow
Pleading for my life, I see the reaper at the window
Tapping, (tapping) like “n***a, what you fighting for?
Meet me at the f**ing door.”
And all you hear is clapping (clapping)
That's my n***as with my back
Now d**h fall back
They yelling to my face
n***a, let the motherf**ing steam out
Even if it means whiping the trees out
You gotta show the world what you be's ‘bout
Whatever it takes, whatever you make
You can live your dream out
I said ain't nothing to it
Pressure's stabilizing
I'm positively thinking
Potential realizing
The drama takes over
The world is now lying
And to my surprise
The pressure starts rising
Damn, I forgot to...
[Hook]
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
(I feel the pressure)
I feel so good
I even touch the sky
In my neighborhood, so
Here I come again
(I feel the pressure)
[Verse 2: Spoot]
Under pressure from the pain, tears and the lies
Under pressure from the devils - angels in disguise
Under pressure from my goals being sky high
Or under pressure from that one chance flying by
Not knowing where that first dollar ‘bout to come from
On the block, grinding all night 'til the sun's up
Either you got it, maybe you never will
Dealing with the struggle is something I gotta deal
Getting out of the slums, yeah that's the motivation
Reaching for the top spot with no limitation
Dream got me feeling good like I'm in the Matrix
Mixing up the Henny & the Goose, but I'll never chase it
k**ing these rapping n***as like I'm the innovator
Demonstrating decapitation without discrimination
Wait, it's time to roll up
Gotta get my mind blown
So my soul can just...
[Hook]
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
(I feel the pressure)
I feel so good
I even touch the sky
In my neighborhood, so
Here I come again
(I feel the pressure)
[Verse 3: Terrance Moore]
Bold artist, cold-hearted
The flow started
The dopest team since the first chronic
Honestly, under pressure to measure up
To worse sonic landscapes
Beyond the beats I'ma king, just look how much room this man take
Rolling never stop, like a handbrake
But when my feelings got me illin'
My villains tell me, “my n***a, take a damn break”
But I can't think straight
Not losing my mind, already lost it
My thoughts drip like a faucet
I'm bound to blow any moment
No friendlies, see no opponents
My enemies, just proponents
They tend to be less devoted
My only pressure, my scrotum
My only pressure, my mind
My only pressure, these quotas
I'm taking mental photos of my digits on loco
Just want my wallet to not pivot from more dough
So I get it, 'til my city is a star on the globe
I'm a muhf**in' pity, I dream with no eyes closed
I'm spitting with no ending, don't ask, f** if I know
Maestro of this tight flow, leave mics froze
Til my chest fresh with ice glow
Go Michael, we're almost there
Take me back to when the feeling was rare
I still didn't care, but my motherf**ing feelings was there
Life was almost fair
Played tracks, I had rap beats in the air
Same pack of geeks in my band
Grew to be the man I knew I always can
It just took pressure
Do it measure up?
Take a puff
[Bridge]
There's a long hard road ahead
But a voice inside me said

Breathe in, breathe out
