Made of Pressure

Yeah
If that pressure would break me
But it built me
Turn me up
Yeah

I came from the floor where the dreams don't bloom
Where the fridge held more than food
We had anxiety set in the back of the class
And you faked that smile, and you don't get asked
I've seen kids with chains and no goals
And kids with dreams but empty souls

I chose pain, I chose grind
Turned my fears into a battle cry
I ain't here to flex a perfect life
I'm proof you can bleed and still fight
If you won't, they've never spoken
Lit the match that fuels the smoke

I'm made of pressure, born from flame
Raised in silence, scarred by pain
I don't fold, I forge my way
You can throw stones, I'll build my name
I'm made of pressure, steel in my blood
Push me down, I rise above
You ain't seen the last of me
I'm what the world ain't ready to see

They say, "Get real," I said, "I am"
Just not the kind that they understand
I'm the voice of the stressed and tired
The kid with rage turned into fire
I fell, I failed, I lost, I cracked
But I stood back up, you can't teach that
I'm not perfect, I'm just built different
From guilt and will not quit

My worth ain't based on likes or trends, it's in my hands
My scars, my inks, so when they laugh
Let 'em talk, that's the fuel that makes me walk

They don't see the war we fight inside
But we show up, even dead in the eyes
And somehow, some way, we rise

I'm made of pressure, waiting, grind
Molded, shaped from troubled times
I don't break, I bend and roar
I'm the voice they can't ignore
I'm made of pressure, born from fire
My setbacks just build me higher
To the youth with doubt in mind
You're more than fear, your force to shine

This world don't make room for the quiet ones
So we take the mic
We rise anyway
Pressure made me
