[Chorus]
There's too much pressure all around me
Too many questions that's surrounding
This for the nights that we had no sleep
I'll give it all and not regret a thing
I'm applyin pressure
(Ya I'm applyin pressure, I'm applyin pressure) X2
[Verse]
I got the eye of the tiger, and the heart of a lion
All the times my pops couldn't pay bills, same time I started fightin
Mom was always cleanin houses teachin me to keep grindin
Meanwhile we duckin/ dodgin shots with the followup sirens
After every time I fell, I got back up and kept tryin
Lil sis was always next to me through hunger and violence
Cant nobody take my heart away it beats when I'm silent
That's why I ended up the way I am its bottled inside me
That night my cousin got shot, and uncle J went to prison
Ya I think about it each and every day that I'm livin
Lost a homie to an OD, had that H shot up in em
Swear it broke my heart in two, wish I could tell him I miss em
It aint nobody bouta play wit me
I got two sisters and a family to feed
Got all my brothas that dependin on me
N they'd all get up on a stand and keep it hunnid for me
This aint a game this is how this sh** be
When you climbin your way outta the streets
Its in this sh** that brought the dreamin in me
A shootin star's what I'm claimin to be
Applyin pressure wit heat
