Pressure Is Gone

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, cut the lights—nah, keep ’em on I want every damn face to see this [Verse 1] Walked in late with the rent in my pocket Old coat, cold hands, still nobody could stop it You talk big online, then you freeze when I’m near I built this shit from the dust and the fear No handouts, no favors, no calling it luck Had a bad week, still I’m showing back up You can keep that fake love, keep your two-cent advice I paid for every inch, now the price is the price [Chorus] I don’t give a damn, I don’t fold, I don’t run Took the long way up, now the work gets done If you came for the crown, better bring more than talk I’m still ten toes down when the whole room walks I don’t give a damn, let ’em say what they say Turned a broke-ass plan to a payday You can hate all night, I’ll be fine by dawn I was built for the pressure—now the pressure is gone [Verse 2] My old phone cracked, but the new deal’s signed Got a list of every door that they shut in my face—mine I remember cheap meals, bus stops in the rain Now I’m cashing every check with my people in the frame Don’t mistake being calm for me playing it small I can hear your whole bluff in the shake of your drawl You want smoke for the room, I want keys to the place Fuck a shortcut, I got grit, I got time, I got pace [Chorus] I don’t give a damn, I don’t fold, I don’t run Took the long way up, now the work gets done If you came for the crown, better bring more than talk I’m still ten toes down when the whole room walks I don’t give a damn, let ’em say what they say Turned a broke-ass plan to a payday You can hate all night, I’ll be fine by dawn I was built for the pressure—now the pressure is gone [Outro] No favors, no fear, no pretending I’m done From the back of the line to the front—I came up
