Feel the pressure, new semester Everybody's gettin' fly gotta dress up And parents pay a lot of money they expect ya To make a lot of money, so you don't wanna mess up Now you're stressed huh? Try your best but Why it never seems enough to impress 'em And you just wanna hear 'em say "Good job" Instead of "Get a good job" So tell me, where is your rest huh? And parents feel the strain too 'cause they named you And they got the responsibility to raise you If you turn out like a demon instead of an angel Then they be catchin' the blame for bringing the family shame When kids have kids they run and abandon Others stick around, model broken examples Clean ones nobody's hands is in and sometimes This life's got more questions than answers.
I feel the pressure, yeah, coming from every side I feel the pressure, yeah, knocked down but I'm still alive When I feel the pressure, yeah, like where do I run to? When I feel the pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure
Look You ever feel like you're wandering? No aims, no accomplishments, Life's passing by, gotta make something out of it And every time the clock tick, You be so reminded how time flies but you ain't in the cockpit And birthdays are like the worst days, There's turmoil in your heart but celebration on the sur-face 'Cause Mondays it's right back to that workplace, Where you hate it, but you gotta get paid
Yeah I could feel the pressure too, every time I'm speakin On the microphone, different crowds on the weekends 'Cause I remember what James said about teachin And why is everybody scrutinizing what I'm Tweetin' Signed to that Reach camp expectations way Higher than decent, I became free when I seen God's peace Rested in it knowing that He's pleased with me Now I don't gotta please men...
I feel the pressure, yeah, coming from every side I feel the pressure, yeah, knocked down but I'm still alive When I feel the pressure, yeah, like where do I run to? When I feel the pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure
I'm free (I'm free), I'm alive (I'm alive) Feeling good (feelin' good), alright (alright) And you can't take my joy And you can't take my joy
I'm free, I'm alive Feeling good, alright And you can't take my joy ('Cause the world didn't give it to me) And you can't take my joy ('Cause the world didn't give it to me)
