Chorus: Aaron Cole
They say pressure make diamonds, but I feel a lot of pressure on my back lately, yeah
And I wanna give up, but I gotta put the world on my back, baby, yeah
I done came from a lot just to get to the top like ah-ah-ah, uh, yeah
It’s a whole lot of pressure, uh, but I’m still applyin’ pressure, uh
Verse 1: Derek Minor
Okay, from the jump, hit the squad and told ’em I’ma run it up
I’m cold wit’ it, standin’ next to me, you better bundle up
I’m froze with it, might put all my diamonds in a slushie cup
My flow is crack, his flow is mid, tell him, “You ain’t dope enough”
Your heart pump Kool-Aid and mine pump D’usse
Please don’t talk to me, ’cause I been up two days
How you tap dance and run away, but still too lame?
Gotta keep it on you ’cause they shootin’ like it’s 2K, woah
Not at me, uh, no, not at me, uh
I’m out the way, just want the green, I’m lowkey
And if I take an L, bet I learn from every lesson
First the rise, then the fall, when you buckle under pressure
Chorus: Aaron Cole
They say pressure make diamonds, but I feel a lot of pressure on my back lately, yeah
And I wanna give up, but I gotta put the world on my back, baby, yeah
I done came from a lot just to get to the top like ah-ah-ah, uh, yeah
It’s a whole lot of pressure, uh, but I’m still applyin’ pressure, uh
Verse 2: Derek Minor
Applyin’ pressure like I’m bleedin’ out
You look at me and see my life and know what he about, it’s scary now
I ain’t gotta do a song again, my catalog will cover it
I heard you had the summer hot, I guess I better smother it
Back again, mm, I was sittin’ out
Fame worse than dope, got y’all goofies out here chasin’ clout
Thumbin’ through them hundreds, that advance money runnin’ out
Commas turn to zero, it’s the end, that’s what this point about
Then that car go back to dealership, you pawnin’ all your jewelry
When all you got is memories, that’s when you find humility
They come and go, but never learn from any lesson
First the rise, then the fall, when they buckle under pressure
Chorus: Aaron Cole
They say pressure make diamonds, but I feel a lot of pressure on my back lately, yeah
And I wanna give up, but I gotta put the world on my back, baby, yeah
I done came from a lot just to get to the top like ah-ah-ah, uh, yeah
It’s a whole lot of pressure, uh, but I’m still applyin’ pressure, uh
Verse 3: Thi’sl
What you know about pressure?
Bullet in your body, laid out on a stretcher
Doctors in the room tryna put you back together
Mind everywhere, tryna keep yourself together
Voices in your head like, “This gon’ make you better”
You better not give up
What you mean, you can’t walk? Take your bed and get up
Sure as God rose up, on the third diz-uh
I rose from the ashes again, like God wit’ us
Y’all had to adapt to the dark, I was shaped in it
I been through so much pain in my life, I should be atheist
If pressure makes diamonds, you lookin’ at the Great Star
And I’m doin’ good thus far, yeah, big pressure
Chorus: Aaron Cole
They say pressure make diamonds, but I feel a lot of pressure on my back lately, yeah
And I wanna give up, but I gotta put the world on my back, baby, yeah
I done came from a lot just to get to the top like ah-ah-ah, uh, yeah
It’s a whole lot of pressure, uh, but I’m still applyin’ pressure, uh
