I'm breakin out of old habits a yo life change rapid
It's asthmatic move swift u mite catch it
Hard 2 grasp it never could imagine
Be persistent music and rappin is ever lasting
Speeding in the left lane stuck in mad traffic
Blastin linguistics providing lyrics u missin
Play your position envisioning freedom's extinction's frightening
Thanks 4 asking stuck in bewilderment
What's the science mcs multiplying and spittin
But none of them be listening or measuring their perspective
Brooding the horizons they splashing and sound clashin
Captivatin the milstones in your souls fashion
Lovin it with a passion close captions and close caskets
4 u young bucks step your game up
Selling drugs and quarter hugs don't make u thug
Ya'll raps suck youngins better get your weight up
Cause old heads blaming rap 4 youth's violent acts but
When rap was hip hop it never use to be like that
Street talk was spiritual healing 4 peoples that's trapped
Trying to release the pressure
Chorus
The pressure is building (x6)
It just keeps building up!
*Sometimes the pressure builds up so much that u wanna crack
Inhale, exhale, breathe get yourself on track
Certain individuals will make u feel trapped
*Don't blame the world 4 your mishap stay strong and relax
eX Verse
I could feel the pressure building up getting the best of me
So I invent a beat to vent instrumentally
And so what's left for me to do is construct a verse
But I'm torn and ignored so tell me what's worst
I got mad ideas locked up in my head with no way out
It's like I got stuck!
I'm trying to be me but I'm feeling some pressure
I want to be free I don't need this compression
It's like a physical force pushing down on my brain
Piercing into my soul and right now I'm trying to maintain
Tragic!
Better get a mechanic while I'm at it
Cause my generator's about to blow!
DON'T PANIC!
My mind is taking too much load
I got to let it out so I'm in self-destruct mode
About to combust flows and do songs
Spitting original Hip Hop to cool off because of the pressure!
Chorus
The pressure is building (x6)
It just keeps building up!
*Sometimes the pressure builds up so much that u wanna crack
Inhale, exhale, breathe get yourself on track
Certain individuals will make u feel trapped
*Don't blame the world 4 your mishap stay strong and relax
Mental Grafik Verse
2 many rappers and not enough mcs
2 many producers and not enough phatt beats
2 many so called peeps willing 2 crush your dreams
2 many scandalous shorties plotting 2 take your cream
2 many lies coming from the commander and chief
2 many times heat pop of walking the street
2 many police sell drugs walking their beats
2 many R&B singers singing flat and off key
2 many disc jockeys spin trash if u ask me
Celebrities throwing away demo ain't sucker free
I bought 2 many CDs at least u can listen 2 me
2 many billionaires and still people kill to eat
2 many over privileged kids make a nation weak
Like getting a brand new Mercedes when they 16
2 many thugs bust guns none willing 2 teach
& 2 many nights I'm wide awake b/c it's hard 2 sleep
the pressure
The pressure is building (x6)
It just keeps building up!
*Sometimes the pressure builds up so much that u wanna crack
Inhale, exhale, breathe get yourself on track
Certain individuals will make u feel trapped
*Don't blame the world 4 your mishap stay strong and relax
