Pressure Made Me

“Pressure Made Me”

(Dark piano intro – slow build)
(Whispered)
Yeah…
They counted me out…

⸻

🎤 Hook (Beat Drop – Heavy 808s)

I been down bad — but I never stayed there (nah)
Cold world — had to get my mind rare (yeah)
Pain turned muscle — now I move with no fear
Pressure made diamonds — now the vision crystal clear

I don’t break — I bend then rise
Fell ten times — got ten more tries
They threw dirt — I built my throne
Now I stand tall — carved from stone

⸻

🎤 Verse 1 (Bounce Flow – Tight Delivery)

Lost nights / no sleep / demons in my head
No light / just fight / hunger kept me fed

Bills high / hope low / pockets on thin
But I swear every loss carved power within

They laughed when I spoke about dreams that were big
Now I walk in the room and they notice the kid

I was doubted / counted / left in the rain
But pain is a forge — I was shaped in the flame

(Beat pause — half second silence)

See I learned…
You don’t wait for the door — you build it.
You don’t cry about pressure — you wield it.

🎤 Hook (Stronger Ad-libs)

I been down bad — but I never stayed there (never)
Cold world — had to get my mind rare (rare)
Pain turned muscle — now I move with no fear
Pressure made diamonds — now the vision crystal clear

I don’t break — I bend then rise
Fell ten times — got ten more tries
They threw dirt — I built my throne
Now I stand tall — carved from stone

⸻

🎤 Verse 2 (More Aggressive – Faster Flow)

Came from the bottom where hope feels thin
Where doubt creeps loud and it lives within

Friends switched lanes when the road got rough
But struggle built me — that was enough

I was chasing survival, now I’m chasing my peak
Turned silence to strength — now my mindset speaks

Every scar on my skin got a story attached
Every failure I faced was a lesson unmatched

They said “slow down” — I sped up instead
They said “be safe” — I took risks ahead

Pressure don’t crush me — it sharpen my blade
Storm made a warrior — I wasn’t afraid

⸻

🎤 Bridge (Half Beat – Emotional)

If you’re feeling stuck — listen close
Rock bottom builds the strongest souls
The world might test you — break your pride
But strength is built when you survive

⸻

🎤 Final Hook (Full Power – Big 808s + Choir Pads)

I been down bad — but I never stayed there
Cold world — had to get my mind rare
Pain turned muscle — now I move with no fear
Pressure made diamonds — now the vision crystal clear

I don’t break — I bend then rise
Fell ten times — got ten more tries
They threw dirt — I built my throne
Now I stand tall — carved from stone
