Pressure Drop

You decide who you’re able to trust when both sides are the same corner,
evil as fuck
And I’m the one who’s gonna show you how to elevate your brain
From the things you need to overcome that are standing in your way as if those
Who even know me don’t look at me strange when I love to laugh at how absurd
this world is to embrace
Or whenever I’m feeling happy is not creepy as much to a lot of people when I
come around, like what is he, nuts?
It’s just a lot what I value now I didn’t value then
And even though I’m underground the sun is shining in
And I don’t ever want to turn my back on all that I’ve done
That’s been a major part of my life ever since I was young but I know better
You’re never letting evil surround yourself closer than I wanted to when
no-one's around
Playing tricks on my mind like a friend that I trust whom I know I shouldn’t
but we both work together so much
That when life’s beating me up these records that I scratch on I haven’t heard
the last of some positive reactions
It’s true I saw myself in people I knew I thought who felt the same way as we
were paying our dues
Acting as if it’s not a challenge to us talented cats proud of the fact that
it’s all become a balancing act but now I know
(Don't let the pressure drop)
(Don't let the music stop)
Whose side are you on when nothing is wrong as if not being involved has been
keeping you calm
I knew taking the verse to the extreme could disturb others instead of turning
it into something to learn from it and got
Left for dead to awaken my whole sole approach and care for those who never
show me where it hurts the most
To see myself when I look at you now without the need of being thanked of ever
helping you out
I lost respect for myself while I was trying to earn yours and enough miles
away from even coming up too short
The ugliest of ducks with both middle fingers up you love watching
You love watching people self destruct, knowing hip-hop would make me a loner
and did
But what you represent I don’t and instead of blowing my lid
Yet I’m the one some mothers count on when feeling their worst and who’s been
helping you push harder than a woman giving birth
Every verse is what I document and what I invent and I’m on to punch some
talking heads that need to stop making sense
'Cause even though I’m not a killer, nah, I’m known to write a killer song and
then perform it live and rock it like the ??? you’re on
There was a time I thought I had a lot to lose, now I realise I overestimated
what I had to prove it’s cool
(Don't let the pressure drop)
(Don't let the music stop)
