[Chorus]
Pressure, pressure, don't treat my momentum
Check the naughties for a "You're not welcome"
Pressure, pressure, leave my mental
Get amnesia when I'm mentioned
Pressure, pressure, leave my mental
Get amnesia when I'm mentioned
Pressure, pressure, don't treat my momentum
Check the naughties for a "You're not welcome"
You're not welcome
[Verse 1]
It's like
You want my heart to leak every time I split my mouth to speak
The imbalance favours those who can lie through their teeth like a tooth pick
And I'm so other I'm oblique, somewhere near the bottom of the songs of the week
If I stay on point like beak I rhyme my way to the top and stay magnifique
For the longest I flew with denial and even at the crick I [?] with chique
Momentum is rich, me spit, we come down, gonna hit you like a ton of bricks
Will it make you believe like Mick? Will it change my direction like Malik?
Got substance in the rap like it's sick, but I won't kid you, I'm no Angelique
Every now and then I feel like you're forcing my hand
To grow out and opine on complex matters I don't comprehend
Be truthful of what would cross my mind, I amend before I hit send
Or my train of thoughts gets stuck in traffic, that's when I leave you on read
Every now and then you see me behave like a man
Chivalrous in a [?] to each emotion you mutter
In return you will wax, lyrical on my mind, don't say hi, I was bread like naan
Got a scar on my heart from early, daily reminds make you trust no other
If you know my pain, me struggling
To keep track of the vision
Hence why the most cynical man of the year award is in order
Took it by a split decision
Looking for sentiments I can no longer show that [?]
[Chorus]
Pressure, pressure, don't treat my momentum
Check the naughties for a "You're not welcome"
Pressure, pressure, leave my mental
Get amnesia when I'm mentioned
Pressure, pressure, leave my mental
Get amnesia when I'm mentioned
Pressure, pressure, don't treat my momentum
Check the naughties for a "You're not welcome"
You're not welcome
You're not welcome
[Verse 2]
Every now and then the pendulum swings in my way
Like when I killed three birds with a stray stone thrown, they were aiming at me
Man, dumbfounded, out as I left fortunate [?]
They be tryin' to make me go back to black, but I told him "no Amy"
I've rolled with some nineties-babies
And all of 'em act like a baby
No tantrums, some [?] maybe
With this finger I flush it easy
Like AB no way to C
I'm back and I'm done bein' lazy
I wanna move from J to a Z
Is [Misha?], like hazy
Limerick City, don't make me seen
I've been looking for myself these days
I'm not quite lost, but there's something missing
I've exhausted all cliches in search for the tongue to explain my season
Take him to the end of the world with my set of skills like Liam Neeson
I thought about rapping the reason
But it's not like anyone listens
On the off day we all need some
But who's really paying attention?
If not for validation
That fleeting elation
I couldn't afford a vacation so I married it to my vocation
"That's no pharaoh", said my mother
And I told her "I am not Egyptian"
Some have it all, at least on the surface
That's what I call a magician
But my craft is medicinal
[Outro]
If not for you and me, here's what I'm usually
Somewhere above the mean
Yeah, it's so hard to read
I go further, hard to please
They want my heart to bleed
So they can feel as deep
Only danger, [?] relief
