My back is against the wall, more bills than money to pay

And I know, just who, just who to call on when I need relief, I pray

To help me fight the pressures of the world

The pressures, the pressures

Uh, my stomach growlin' plus my little sister and little bro gotta eat too

Go tell somebody who love you you're pursuin' your dreams and watch how they treat you

I need healing and a blessing, mama dealin' with depression

I know because I deal with it daily but still gon' kill it in the session

This is bigger than the flexin', money, cars and the gold necklace

I gotta heat up for my team, I can't go on cold stretches

This that livin' in the car, scribblin' the bars, haven't slept for days

And giving your all to your music so you and your girl just go y'all's separate ways

It hurts when there's nothing left to say, she need time but I can't put that time aside

It's either take off with these raps or I live all my days slavin' at a 9 to 5

Sorry, I can't do no 9 to 5

It's not that I'm lazy but I know my worth and it's way more than what they would pay me

Shit, you probably think that I'm crazy and I hope this money will save me but I know this money won't save me

At least it can help out my babies, when college tuition is something

I'm peelin' back layer after layer after layers like I'm peelin' onions

More flavor for the soul food, dish it to 'em over Pro Tools, wash it down with a cold brew

Bills to pay and everybody poor, eviction notice, ain't nowhere to go

Now I'm back to layin' on the floor, mama say she prayin' for me though

Gettin' high to take me from the lows, at any time my pistol might blow

'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know

'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know

'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know

'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know

'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know

Eastside of Atlanta, where I stay

Mama took the bus like every day

Why was your ass in YMCA?

I ate cereal and PB&J

Auntie told me that I need to pray

Me and grams was sleepin' feet to face

'posed to went to college for the knowledge

I went off to school and caught a case

I still owe Sallie Mae three thou', EBT balance on speed dial

I barely get any sleep now, I need the pressure relief valve

Bitch, do not ask me to freestyle, I can't do shit for the free-free

I can't do shit off of GP, mama was pawning the TV

We borrowed money from aunties, talkin' no heat in the winter

Them was some weeks to remember, fuck is we eatin' for dinner?

Heatin' water in the microwave, the crib be candle lit until the light gets paid

And even when the crib was pitched black, mama said we gon see brighter days

Bills to pay and everybody poor, eviction notice, ain't nowhere to go

Now I'm back to layin' on the floor, mama say she prayin' for me though

Gettin' high to take me from the lows, at any time my pistol might blow

'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know

'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know

'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know

'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know

'Cause pressure bursts pipes, I know
