Lyrics

Yeah
Pressure breaks pipes
Pressure can also make a diamond
I see my problems lining up
Call it soul train
My first giant steps
Different levels
Different devils
Yeah
My first giant steps, where's John Coltrane?
See my problems lining up, soul train
Mom say use it as fuel, propane
Soon enough the water boil over slow flame
Dope as '88, word to cocaine
What's the use of having infinite bullets when you got no aim?
Man, my problems weighing on a different scale
Different levels, different devils fighting different hells
Never dancing with the world 'cause she kiss and tell
Just a penny for my thoughts in your wishing well
Boss can be a prison, hope I'm getting bail
Come out the cell like Malcolm X and go exhale
I mean, to much is given much is tested
Trying to do my best, hope that he applaud my efforts
I'm trying to make it shine, diamond under pressure
Know he wanna bless me, hope I don't settle for lesser
You know
Mama told me keep the faith
But really I ain't hearing it
Yeah, and I swear I tried to pray
But really I ain't feeling it
Lord, I'm just being honest
Dear Lord, I'm just being honest
Yo, I'm just being honest, you know
You know, I seen 'em come and seen 'em go
Without seeing a return on the investment that I sow
But deep down inside I gotta chill because I know
I did what I did for the love and not for show
And D told me never ever take it personal
As long as you good with God then you humble and you cool
So I return they checks, offer them advice
Pray for they success, favor on they life
Take they shots on the chin like a slice of humble pie
They stuck in slow traffic, I'm flying through the sky
Yeah, you see my mind is on a different scale
Different levels, different devils, different hells
It's a part of the territory
To make history the struggle up is mandatory in the story
Lord, I hope I don't lose faith
I gotta be honest I get weary in the race
You know
Mama told me keep the faith
But really I ain't hearing it
And I swear I tried to pray
But really I ain't feeling it
Lord, I'm just being honest
Dear Lord, I'm just being honest
Yo, I'm just being honest
Yo, word, word
Yeah, where is love when you need it?
I'm looking for that text to make me smile when I read it
Thoughts of the opposite sex talking sex like I need it
I'm thinking that I do, for me to fall almost succeeded
I retreat it, they tell me I best hurry and get married
I respond, "You sound stupid, go and just get buried"
I'm just saying, my relationships be so surface
I swear my mom she so nervous
Like I'ma end up cold and lonely
But I got dreams and I feel like the world owe me
So I gotta stay up until it pay up
Like aye up, I swear I'ma take a full court layup
Don't get me wrong, I'm ready for that good thing
But that's in God's hands, let him make the wedding plans
Are they friends? Are they fans?
More than friends? It all just depends
I need peace on my hands like I bought a Benz
Two more for my parents, I'ma call 'em twins
People disagree with me and try to call it sin
I look to God, the only judge of all men
And let the word be the standard
Hope he gives me thumbs up like he got stranded
Hitchhiking, the world so enticing
My style they be fighting, call him Mark Tyson
Yeah, I war on like a Viking
Defy Earth's gravity, a cavity I'm writing
Sweet, but what's the point when they rarely listen?
Try to dismiss it 'cause it's so different
But you can go ahead and diss it
'Cause when the real gone, you gon' miss it
Yeah, you see my mind is on a different scale
Different levels, different devils dodging different hells
Yeah, it's a part of the territory
To make history the struggle up is mandatory in the story
Lord, I hope I don't lose faith
I gotta be honest I get weary up in the race
I mean, to much is given much is tested
Trying to do my best, hope that he applaud my effort
I'm trying to make it shine, diamond under pressure
Know he wanna bless me, hope I don't settle for lesser
You know
When it's all said and done
I know you gotta feel me and I ain't the only one
How it's grown, well before I hit 21
Mercedes got a son, my cousins carrying guns
I gotta take 'em on tours, get 'em out the streets
Show 'em that it's more, lessons I gotta teach
Yeah, so I ain't rapping just to sound fresh
I got a lot up on my chest, no bench press, yeah
Mama told me keep the faith
But really I ain't hearing it
Pops told me keep the faith
But really I ain't hearing it
Lord, I'm just being honest
I'm just being honest
But then again, I know that you got it
I mean I hope that you got it
