Pressure Lyrics by Thutmose

Man on Fire

2018

[Intro: Erykah Badu]
I feel sad because people’s, uh, emotions and fears were being manipulated
You know, the lowest parts of people have been manipulated
To really believe or think that they can
Um, separate, from the whole
We, we want all, there's no separating, it's an illusion

[Chorus: Thutmose]
They tried to get me under pressure
But you know I never settle
I got my eyes on the medal
So you know I'd never let up
Pressure, pressure, pressure

[Verse 1: Thutmose]
When I was 9, SWAT team came rushin' in
Daddy on the floor, they put a gun to him
Ever since, been runnin' from the government
Lessons as a kid to be a better man
Lookin' back at it, I was fortunate
Still was a kid, it could have haunted me
New to this country, I was growing up
Still wasn't strong enough, took some of my innocence and burned it down
Life's not fair, I learned that way too quick
Most important lesson, man, just please don't quit
Runnin' in a circle, tryna figure ourselves
Police on the corners tryna put us in cells
If God exists then why he put us in hell?
Sirens all around, it's like we're stuck in a spell
Lookin' for the light, it's like I'm seekin' for joy
It's like I'm seekin' for help, it's like I'm seekin' for love, no

[Chorus: Thutmose]
They tried to get me under pressure
But you know I never settle
I got my eyes on the medal
So you know I'd never let up
Pressure, pressure, pressure

[Verse 2: Thutmose]
Look here dad, I'm a man now
I know the world is scary, I can't back down
'Cause everything I learned back then made me sharp
This is coming from the heart, paranoia from the start
A wise man once told me
Watch out for those you call friend 'cause they all phony
Time will tell their story, so I do it on my lonely
What the fuck am I doing?
Lord forgive me, I feel so ruined
Been a few years since I been to church
Feel so loved, yet I still hurt
Maybe I need a therapist
Maybe this is was just destiny
Come on, everybody, quiet down
I need some sense of peace
Go long
But I always stay strong
'Cause life goes on, so you gotta hold on
Angels comin' in the mornin'
That means I'm goin' home

[Chorus: Thutmose]
They tried to get me under pressure
But you know I never settle
I got my eyes on the medal
So you know I'd never let up
Pressure, pressure, pressure

[Bridge: Thutmose]
Stay strong, baby, nah
Stay strong, baby, yeah
Stay strong, stay strong, stay strong, oh
Stay strong, baby, nah
Stay strong, baby, yeah
Stay strong, stay strong, stay strong, oh

[Outro: Erykah Badu]
There are energies and we feel them and they could be parts of our—ourselves
Could be parts of us
You know the parts of us that are
Are vibrating on lower frequencies
That are fighting to, uh, stay on top
