Pressure Made Me

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah... They see the work. They don't see the nights behind it. They see the strength. They don't know what created it. I learned something though... Pain ain't always your enemy. Sometimes pain is energy waiting on direction. So I gave mine a purpose. [Verse 1] I came from the pressure, now pressure don't scare me, Carried some weight that was too much to carry. Life tried to teach me through losses and pain, Now every scar got a lesson attached to the name. I was low in the dark, had to build in the rain, Had to turn all the doubt into fuel in my veins. They said I was broken, I said I was bent, Kept the pieces together, that's how I was sent. [Pre-Chorus] So I took what they gave me And I made it a flame Took the hurt in my chest And I gave it a name Now I don't fold When the whole world leans I was built from the weight Now the weight works for me [Chorus] Pressure made me Pressure made me I don't break, I bend, then I rise Pressure made me Pressure made me Now I walk with fire in my eyes (Pressure made me) (Pressure made me) [Verse 2] Had days I was tired, still showed up anyway, Had nights I was numb but I never walked away. Every missed call, every door that shut, Made me watch how I move and then tighten it up. Now I keep my head high when the room gets cold, 'Cause I know what it cost just to stay this bold. I don't need pity, I don't need grace, I need one more chance and a little more space. [Pre-Chorus] So I took what they gave me And I made it a flame Took the hurt in my chest And I gave it a name Now I don't fold When the whole world leans I was built from the weight Now the weight works for me [Chorus] Pressure made me Pressure made me I don't break, I bend, then I rise Pressure made me Pressure made me Now I walk with fire in my eyes (Pressure made me) (Pressure made me) [Bridge] If you see me shining, know it wasn't easy Nothing handed to me, had to fight to believe me I turned every wound into something that feeds me Now I stand in the storm and it still don't freeze me [Final Chorus] Pressure made me Pressure made me I don't break, I bend, then I rise Pressure made me Pressure made me Now I walk with fire in my eyes Pressure made me Pressure made me Yeah, the hurt turned into my drive (Pressure made me) (Pressure made me)
