Pressure Made Me

Verse 1

I came from the bottom, where the problems were piling,

Was lost in the darkness, still walked with a smile in,

My mind was a warzone, my thoughts were colliding,

But pressure was building, now look what I'm designing.

I turned every scar to a badge of achievement,

Every betrayal became my reason for breathing,

They wanted me broken, depleted, defeated,

I came back swinging with something they couldn't believe in.

I've been down in the dirt where the doubt gets embedded,

Where the nights feel endless, the light feels pathetic,

Had a head full of demons, a heart disconnected,

Now I'm too damn relentless to ever get second-guessed.

I took the pain and I twisted the meaning,

Turned all the hate into fuel for the dreaming,

Life threw punches, I ducked and kept weaving,

Now I'm the reason the odds are retreating!

Chorus

I made it through the fire, now I'm forged in the flame,

Went through hell and back but I ain't quite the same,

Had my back to the wall, still I stood in the rain,

You can bury me alive, I'll come digging my way!

I won't break, I won't bend, I won't bow,

Look at me, look at me now!

Every loss, every scar, every round,

I'm the proof you can rise from the ground!

Verse 2

I'm a product of pressure, a product of pain,

A walking disaster that mastered the game,

I wrestled with thoughts that were driving me insane,

Now I channel that chaos and sharpen my aim.

I'm done with the pity, the self-doubt, the hesitation,

I'm building a kingdom from rubble and devastation,

My motivation's a dangerous combination,

Of pure determination and calculated domination.

I got knocked down so much I got used to the flooring,

But every damn morning I came back roaring,

No silver spoon, no red carpet before me,

Just a middle finger to the fate that ignored me!

I'm not here for approval, I'm here for improvement,

I move with a purpose, my actions are fluent,

They thought I'd stay stagnant, diluted, polluted,

Now watch me turn every setback to music!

Bridge – Faster Flow

No retreat, no defeat, no excuses,

I've been through the abuse and the bruises,

Turned the screws, took the blows, found the uses,

Now the pain that I carried produces!

A new me, a true me, refusing to lose,

I got nothing to prove but everything to do,

If the world wants a fight, let it step in the booth,

I'm the living definition of refusing to lose!

Final Chorus

I made it through the fire, now I'm forged in the flame,

Went through hell and back but I ain't quite the same,

Had my back to the wall, still I stood in the rain,

You can bury me alive, I'll come digging my way!

I won't break, I won't bend, I won't bow,

Look at me, look at me now!

Every loss, every scar, every round,

I'm the proof you can rise from the ground!
