Pressure Made Me

[Intro]

Yeah

I was built in the static

Raised by the panic

Now watch me turn damage into mechanics

[Verse 1]

I came from the cracks where the cold wind bites,

Had a head full of thunder and a chest full of fights,

No crown, no comfort, no silver spoon,

Just a heartbeat kicking like a bass in a tomb.  

I been down so low that the ground looked high,

Had dreams in my pocket and dust in my eye,

They said, “slow down,” but I sped through pain,

Like a runaway train with a flame in my brain.  

Every scar on my skin got a story to scream,

Every loss that I took put a sword in the dream,

I don’t fold, I reload, I explode in the zone,

Turn a no into gold with a code of my own.  

I’m a storm in a sentence, a threat in a breath,

I dance with the pressure, put fear to rest,

Got a mind like a maze and a mouth like a drum,

When the world goes numb, I become the hum.

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t break, I bend with the lightning,

I don’t run, I rise when it’s frightening,

If the night gets loud and the sky falls down,

I’ll be the sound shaking the ground.

[Chorus]

Pressure made me, fire raised me,

I don’t need a rescue, I’m the one who saves me.

Heart goes bang-bang, never on safety,

If they call me crazy, let the crazy pay me.  

Pressure made me, pain upgraded,

Every little setback got eliminated.

Hands to the sky, let the whole world see,

I was born in the dark, but the dark made me.

[Verse 2]

I got venom in the rhythm, got a vision with a mission,

Precision in the diction, demolition in the friction,

I’m flipping every syllable, criminal with the tempo,

Running through the instrumental like a bullet through a window.  

No fake little flex, no plastic throne,

I built my name out of sticks and stones,

I took their shade and I made it fuel,

Now I shine so sharp that it cuts through rules.  

I been laughed at, passed up, locked outside,

But I turned that door to a mountain climb,

Every doubt in my route got crushed by drive,

I’m not surviving now, I’m alive-alive.  

Tell the critics I’m busy, tell the fear I moved,

Tell the mirror we got nothing left to prove,

I don’t chase applause, I chase impact,

Hit the beat so hard that it hits back.

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t break, I bend with the lightning,

I don’t run, I rise when it’s frightening,

If the night gets loud and the sky falls down,

I’ll be the sound shaking the ground.

[Chorus]

Pressure made me, fire raised me,

I don’t need a rescue, I’m the one who saves me.

Heart goes bang-bang, never on safety,

If they call me crazy, let the crazy pay me.  

Pressure made me, pain upgraded,

Every little setback got eliminated.

Hands to the sky, let the whole world see,

I was born in the dark, but the dark made me.

[Bridge]

Beautiful chaos, broken halos,

Running through echoes where nobody goes,

I found my soul in the smoke and the flames,

Came back louder with a brand-new name.

No more chains on my imagination,

No more fear in my foundation,

I was a spark in a dead-end street,

Now I’m a wildfire under the beat.

[Verse 3]

Fast lane, black rain, mind like a hurricane,

Blood full of gasoline, voice full of novocaine,

I don’t need luck, I got discipline,

I cut through noise like adrenaline.  

This is not rap, this is cardiac art,

This is war paint drawn on a vulnerable heart,

This is every little failure getting flipped into flight,

This is me telling darkness, “you don’t own the night.”  

I’m ten toes down with my head in the stars,

Got a soul full of music and a chest full of scars,

If the world wants smoke, let it come through me,

I was made by the pressure, now the pressure moves me.

[Final Chorus]

Pressure made me, fire raised me,

I don’t need a rescue, I’m the one who saves me.

Heart goes bang-bang, never on safety,

If they call me crazy, let the crazy pay me.  

Pressure made me, pain upgraded,

Every little setback got eliminated.

Hands to the sky, let the whole world see,

I was born in the dark, but the dark made me.

[Outro]

Pressure made me.

Pain upgraded.

Darkness shaped me.

Now I made it.
