Pressure


 

Pressure

 

Ten thousands tons on my back

Can’t stand all that weight im toeing around

Ask me to step up my game

but I mature a little late so it’s not happening now

 

And I sware I've tried

But good things can’t be forced

You gotta be patient

I can’t handle the pressure

 

Weeks gone by and still no results

A high pitch in your tone while you're fussing at me

Heavy hearted, I'm feeling the weight

Another trillion tons your pushing on me

 

And I don’t know how many times I've told you

You can’t rush good things

You gotta be patient 

I can’t handle the pressure

 

Balled up in a fetal position

I tell myself it's gonna be just fine

Walls closing in, I see you in the distance

Yelling "You're running out of time"

But I know I've got time to spare

You better beware 'cus I'm coming out soon

I can’t stand all the pressure you're given

You gotta let loose

 

Ten thousand tons on my back

Can’t stand the weight I'm toeing around

Just one more pound and I sware 

I’ll break without a sound

 

Weeks gone by and still no results

A high pitch in ur tone while you're fussing at me

If you wait, give me a little more time

I sware you’ll be able to see 

 

Balled up in a fetal position

I tell myself its gonna be just fine

Walls closing in, I see you in the distance

Yelling ur running out of time

 

But I know I've got time to spare

You better beware cus im coming out soon

I can’t stand all the pressure ur given

You gotta let loose

 

And I don’t know how many times I've told you 

You can’t rush good things

You gotta be patient 

I can’t handle the pressure
