Pressure

(Chorus)

The rent due the bills need payment

And I done went through what's in my meek savings

Plus I'm spent too, spent a week praying

Thinking what I lent dude and when is he paying?

Angel on my shoulder whispers 'be patient'

Devil on the other screaming 'Neguh hit the streets, chase em'

Ain't no country for old men

Plus I caught that late night, wonder if it's a omen

Code ten, nearing 7:30 while my doomsday clock strikes 12:00

It's like hell where my mind dwell

Gwap frail, can't reach the top off of dime sales

Rhyme well, but that ain't matter, still my stock fell

Nasdaq? Nope worked and bagged that dope but..

Money still was funny for me...

Gone soon as I got it, mo money, mo problems

And ain't nothing coming for free...

On top of that, I'm finnin to finish the album, but not a dime was loaned

But I'm used to backing myself, just peep the spinal bone

Music in my veins, vertebrae look like a xylophone Madigon'

But how I save the world from this block I'm on?

Twenty percent kidney function, that's what the doc was on

I bet them numbers be better homie if Dox was on

You Negus styrofoam on the microphone

Trying to build knowing my foundation harder than diamond stone

I got a jones, I used to love her, she hate me though

And I'm reminded every time I turn on the radio

Too great for my own good hear 'how u figure that?'

Managers turned emcees, said I inspired them to rap

Now I'm stuck with no outlets all this fire in the trap

No place to put the product praying you inquire bout a pack

Messiah on the track, but I'm mere mortal to corporate

So ahead of my time, My audience ain't been born yet

Flow is out this world, so Jupiter's where I'll tour next

Rookie on the surface, fast laning at my core vet

My cortex, full of quartets, and more stress

Everyday mailman bring more debt, to my doorstep

More or less, how the boy rep got they broads wet

In turn on my head, they put mortgage to ensure death

Is right around the bend, Beanie in his prime

I can feel it in the air, and smell the grimey in the wind

Taste the wicked in the water, see hatred in how they watch

Cause they can't comprehend the makings of pharaoh Dox

Well, I'll give em to you genetic code of a Zulu

African allies that put the 32 to you for fufu

Mbutus itching to do u, got priestess into voodoo

Public figures in my pocket, that'll push a button and nuke you

Sh*t crucial and you in hulu, I'm focused on being fruitful

Cheffing my people's freedom over kingfish and the cuckoo

A king b*tch,thought you knew Boo I'm different, vision bald eagelesque

Wings weary, went from looking for a few trees to rest

To deeper breaths make me peaceful yes, a yogic state

I can pull pleasure from pressure when sh*t don't go my way

Premiere writer, A freedom fighter, survivor

Reminder, all things to all men, no need for titles

When you've seen this much pain you appreciate it

Only thing that matters is the goal, ain't no deviation cause...

(Chorus)

The rent due, the bills need payment

And I done went through, what's in my meek savings

Plus I'm spent too, spent a week praying

Thinking what I lent dude, and when is he paying

Angel on my shoulder whispers 'be patient'

Devil on the other yelling 'Neguh hit the streets, chase em'

What you Negus call pressure

I call blessings, I wouldn't settle for lesser..huh
