1. PRESSURE

Pile it on - pressure
Weight of the world - I know I’m alive
Hard times build character
Growth spurts, truth hurts
That's trouble and strife

Taking hits, from all sides
Life’s a trip, what a ride
Full of pot holes and breaks
Mistakes show, we stay stoic - still inside

Weight of the world on our shoulders
Atlas - give us strength
Give us friends to count on
Relentless - just do it
Pressure turned us to gems
No stopping, not dropping
We always find a way

Over the hill?
I’ve got so much noise in my head
The anxieties real
Talk it out? Pop a pill? Am I Going mental?
I need to chill, deep breaths, reset, mindset
I need to get it in check

And so it builds
Pressure
Enough to kill
Diamonds
Better still
Atlas shoulders
We carry boulders

No sleep, can’t breathe
Feel faint, knees wobbly
Limp on, steadily
Friends turned to foes, family turned enemy
Time moves - pushing 40
Wish I could take things back
Pressure on a track, can he still even deliver?
Is this a (w)rap? I'll be the judge of that

Holding tight, we don’t let go
Pressure's on us, we still grow
Grip's tight, we wont let go
Pressure's on us, we still grow
