TALL POPPIES NEVER DIE Lyrics by Nerve

TALL POPPY SEASON

2021

[Verse 1]
Yeah
'Cause once you up, they gon’ tear you down for the fuck of it
They think they know me but, homie, they don't know none of it
Too much on my plate to be fussin' about what others think
I’m tryna build a home with my family, this the mothership
And I'm not slowin' down so they can kick rocks
You ain't ever gon' see me lose my shit 'cause when I'm pissed off I don't show it
I just show off every show I go on
Shit up to eleven, do my thing and they all go off, and I can feel the
Love when it’s real but I can tell when it’s not
But I know I'll never feel alone at the top, ’cause I got my people with me
Keepin' it three-hundred, these leeches that barely reachin' fifty
And Beau put angels on my shoulders, so I keep 'em wit’ me
They tryna drag my name through the dirt and the ground
But I'ma grow back into something somethin' profound, ain't no fuckin' around
And I'ma elevate till my legacy all up in the clouds
I'll show these punters what I'm about

[Chorus]
Right now, I feel the
Pressure, heavy is the head that wears the crown
You only see the real ones when you're down, right now, I feel the
Pressure, gotta keep my head up, gotta push through
The pain before you understand pleasure, right now, I feel the
Pressure, heavy is the head that wears the crown
You only see the real ones when you're down, right now, I feel the
Pressure, gotta keep my head up, gotta push through
The pain before you understand pleasure (Right now, I feel the)

[Verse 2]
World goin' bottom-up, I've been tryna
Build a wall to keep the demons from my soul, so now I got 'em up
Dunno who I gotta trust, what sorta men
Are we supposed to be when all our leaders do is follow dollars, huh?
They say don't bite the hand that be feedin' the weak
But I'ma chew it off at the wrist, 'cause they feed us deceit
Big bank, little bank, all we need is some peace
The money ain't the destination, I ain't keepin' receipts
But I ain't perfect, nah, I'm just learnin' that the best servents
Come from elementary schools and churches
Like, is this really worth it? Say we love mother earth then we burn it
Just to put some numbers up inside our purses, no wonder our ears are burnin'
Fuck the pro quo
Buyin' shit we can't afford for someone we don't know
Paper ties the rope, next minute, you both choke
Wishin' for the milli', baby, we sinkin' our own boat

[Chorus]
Right now, I feel the
Pressure, heavy is the head that wears the crown
You only see the real ones when you're down, right now, I feel the
Pressure, gotta keep my head up, gotta push through
The pain before you understand pleasure, right now, I feel the
Pressure, heavy is the head that wears the crown
You only see the real ones when you're down, right now, I feel the
Pressure, gotta keep my head up, gotta push through
The pain before you understand pleasure (Right now, I feel the)
