Lloyd Banks - Pain Pressure Paranoia lyrics

[Chorus] Uh, I love the pressure, pressure'll build ya character stronger Here comes the pain, you'd much rather be back on the corner That paranoia, have you thinkin' ni**as tryna scheme on ya But that's my life, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right I numb the pain, been dealin' with that heartache since a boy Paranoid, in a world where they love to build and destroy fu*k a lecture, I'ma need what you owe me and extra There's nothin' that you can tell me 'bout this pressurе (Pressure) [Verse 1] Uh, droppin' a bag'll fill anyone's block with shootеrs Are you really my friend or an opportunist? Bet this life'll be beautiful without the rumors Truth is, ni**as'll show their colours as soon as you flip the Rubix Money'll never fill the void of ya family, easy to prove this Ain't no make up amount to cover the bruises once the pain paints ya Ya claimin' to be somethin' you really ain't, ain't ya? Another parent that's grievin' over a fake gangsta Losin' a father feels like a .50 cal Then losin' a grandmother, damn, it hit me now Movin' too fast, 'til bad news showed up to sit me down Like what the fu*k you doin', you think it's been somethin' proven? Pain is never seein' ya dog again Especially when he's been more solid than all ya friends Few numbers saved in my phone, wish I could call again Give it all up just to go back to how it's always been [Chorus] Uh, I love the pressure, pressure'll build ya character stronger Here comes the pain, you'd much rather be back on the corner That paranoia, have you thinkin' ni**as tryna scheme on ya But that's my life, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right I numb the pain, been dealin' with that heartache since a boy Paranoid, in a world where they love to build and destroy fu*k a lecture, I'ma need what you owe me and extra There's nothin' that you can tell me 'bout this pressure (Pressure) [Verse 2] Uh, I'm out here chillin', probably find a space to switch up by Friday I circle the block a couple times, before I turn in my driveway Maybe I'm buggin', but ni**as be out here dyin' for nothin' My blood is rushin', to the thought of karma as repercussion And I don't wanna hear about when, where, and who did what to him fu*k is you callin' me with info like that, what drug is you usin'? Get a permanent sleep, too comfortable snoozin' Nine out of ten, it's somebody that knows ya movements I'm cool with you, but who's ya man? Forget I asked Just make sure that my first time seein' him is my last Don't even trust certain kin to me, no exceptions With life and death, ain't no chalkin' up imperfections Not only will ni**as say anything, they'll rehearse it too If you never get to know where I live at, don't take it personal Party with perpetrators, same person'll end up hurtin' you On purpose you, roll the window on 'em, close up the curtain too [Chorus] Uh, I love the pressure, pressure'll build ya character stronger Here comes the pain, you'd much rather be back on the corner That paranoia, have you thinkin' ni**as tryna scheme on ya But that's my life, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right I numb the pain, been dealin' with that heartache since a boy Paranoid, in a world where they love to build and destroy fu*k a lecture, I'ma need what you owe me and extra There's nothin' that you can tell me 'bout this pressure (Pressure) [Verse 3] Uh, any rise to success is better with balancin' Would it really mean sh*t if it wasn't challengin'? Losin' is only embarrassin' if you stay down Trey pound when you ball, entertainment's the devil's playground So many drop, it's a constant struggle to stay round Medic supply the pressure, lost 'em all to the same sound Two decades worth of recordings, feels like I never miss A thousand hours recordin' makes it look effortless Sometimes ya worst obstacle is yourself, a great opponent Lovely to overcome downfalls when they prayin' on it When you up a dilemma sounds like a favor, don't it? Claimin' they ridin' for ya, got fu*ked up ways to show it You don't give a hunnid percent you'll regret it Give 'til you empty, nobody is empathetic Makin' them babies, leave somethin' they can inherit Most of us had to break out the cycle without the leverage [Chorus] Uh, I love the pressure, pressure'll build ya character stronger Here comes the pain, you'd much rather be back on the corner That paranoia, have you thinkin' ni**as tryna scheme on ya But that's my life, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right I numb the pain, been dealin' with that heartache since a boy Paranoid, in a world where they love to build and destroy fu*k a lecture, I'ma need what you owe me and extra There's nothin' that you can tell me 'bout this pressure (Pressure)
