Had to swallow my pride, hide the fear People say they love you till the money get involved

 Same ones cheering when the empire fall Trust get thin when the envy grow tall

 So I keep my circle small, let the fake ones crawl

 Every scar on my heart got a story to tell Every prayer I whispered probably saved me from hell

 From the curbside dreams to the mic in my hand Tryna show the whole world who I really am

 Under pressure, but I'm still standing tall Weight of the world got my back to the wall

 Every tear that I shed, every time I fall Turn pain into power, I survived it all

 Under pressure, but my soul still strong Every right I did still came out wrong

 But I keep pushing forward through the storm so long

 Under pressure, still holding on

 Late nights thinking bout the road that I chose Some people change when the money got close

 Fame start knocking, but the trust got thin Hard to see the snakes when they dress like friends

 I remember nights when the fridge stayed bare Not to see the shine, but they wasn't there

 Every sacrifice carved deep in my chest Every sleepless night put my faith to the test

 Still I rise with the pain in my veins Tryna break every chain that the streets didn't drain

 Every fallen soldier got a name in their brains So I rap for the lost and the souls in pain

 Life like dice when you roll in the dark One wrong move leave a permanent mark
