Pressure

[Intro: Shaé Universe]

[?]

[Chorus: Shaé Universe]

How you gon' act when the cameras flash?

Would you strike a pose?

Would you double back?

Can you withstand the pressure?

And how you gon' move when all eyes on you?

Could you walk a day in my shiny shoes?

Can you withstand the pressure?

[Verse 1: Kojey Radical, Kojey Radical & Shaé Universe]

Keep your heart cold, play your part

Even when it's hard, don't let 'em take yo' heart from you

Many men gon' miss the missing

Friends might get to switchin' on you

Twitter fingers sneak dissin'

Back-stabbin', incision

Brothers I would ride for, I don't know their new addresses

Mothers I would cry with, even though I know who did it

Secrets I might diе with

Couple masks I slide with

Way beforе the virus, way before the millage

God knows I been tryin'

Gettin' every night in

Mama told me, "Patience is the key," and she weren't lyin'

Done with all the cryin', fussin', and defyin'

Heavy is the crown, but, I'ma wear it 'til I die

You're supposed to be the king, people still dependin' on you

Even on yo' dark days, keep a little love inside you

Keep a little hope aside, defend it like the back four

Even when the Devil stride

Even when your homies die

Way before the summertime

That happened in another life

Niggas die everyday B, you'll be alright

If you stop, the money's stoppin'

And we ain't goin' back to crime

Stop all the complainin' bro, remember that you chose this life

So—

[Chorus: Shaé Universe & Kojey Radical]

How you gon' act when the cameras flash?

Would you strike a pose?

Would you double back?

Can you withstand the pressure?

And how you gon' move when all eyes on you?

Could you walk a day in my shiny shoes?

Can you withstand the pressure? (Uh)

[Verse 2: Kojey Radical]

In 2017, I had a five-figure debt

In 2018, I had to find my respect

I know my inner peace was never comfortable with less

2019, my compliments to the chef, I'm cookin'

Season with a little bit of luck

2020 came, I made a mill' before lunch

Took my family shoppin' for a house out in Count'

In a real-life, show you what it takes, but, you won't know what it feels like

To hold this kind of weight and still walk with your head high

My noose was gettin' looser every time I took a step

Money came in faster than I knew what to do with it

From young, I got condition like a movie from Ku-b-rick

To think it would clocked be that I wanted some stupid shit

Fell in love with pussy and petroleum on lonely nights

Gave a lot of wisdom, wasn't takin' my own advice

I didn't get warnin' if were talkin' 'bout—

[Chorus: Shaé Universe]

How you gon' act when the cameras flash?

Would you strike a pose?

Would you double back?

Can you withstand the pressure?

And how you gon' move when all eyes on you?

Could you walk a day in my shiny shoes?

Can you withstand the pressure?

[Outro]

My life in Ghana was alright, it was okay

But, you know, when you are in Ghana and the opportunity come

To come to England, you jump for it

Especially when my mother struggled in life

Raising her children—

So when I had a chance to come, my aim is to come

And then work hard, and look after her as well

And I came in at wintertime, which was December

So it was hard, and that I wanted to go back
