Emmanuel B - Pressure

I spent my life trying not to be careless
Women and children can be careless. But not men
Scary hours these hours are getting scary
Been talking to my demons but they act like they don't hear me
Although I tell the truth in raps
Feeling constantly ignored like the back of cigarette packs
It's get rich or die trying it takes faith to move the mountain
I know I need to press harder
It's not who moves but really who's moving smarter
I've been studying the game
LA Confidential consigned my guys that's insane
DJ Hed told me keep your head up
All you gotta do is keep on putting out these records
So when me and Kaydee hit LA, you know we gotta put the west up
Young Yoruba boys, you know we making big noise
You know we paint the town red, that's why they call us demons
So I'm back on my BS, like PS I cannot be stationed
Constantly moving, constantly evolving
That's why I look surprised when they act like they know me
What… like which version?
High school Emmanuel B and me's different
So I'm constantly improving
Back then I was young and reckless now I'm counting all my blessings
Yoo broski, what are you saying bro like
It's been a minute
I just thought I should check in
And let you know that boys' been waiting on that project
I don't even have to tell you, you know you go hard
So like bro put in that pressure and lets get it
It's that time, let them know what it is
I just signed a new contract and skipped a couple tax brackets
Too many blessings don't know where to start counting
Next year, I need to hire an accountant
Isn't it crazy, six figures baby
If I lent you money please send it back quick
My funds get home sick
They don't like to be in strange accounts
And make sure it's the right amount
How come when someone's asking you for money
They're always on their best behaviour
But somehow when it's time to payback
I'm seeing a raised shoulder
Now that's kinda disrespectful
I'm always going back and forth on the instrumental
The art of war, it's Sun Tzu I don't use a pencil
It's still head top bars
I'm aiming straight for the moon but still I end up with the stars
Dodgecoin to the moon, Elon's heading to mars
I told her I like her drive, she thought I was talking about cars
It's way different
Perspectives change but the truth remains vivid
I've seen highs, I've seen lows
The greatest thing about it, I didn't fold
I was grateful for the downtimes as a teen though
Now I'm looking at opportunity through the window
2017 I realised this world's Cold
I heard the news, it broke down a rich Soul
I was like God No
I was so confused had to go read the book of Job
