I’M UNDER PRESSURE AI Artist: Rashon Written by 12Gauge858 12Gauge858…Music 🎬 INTRO Ladies especially… but honestly… for whoever feel this song… Life can get hectic some days. Bills hit all at once… work stress… misbehaving kids… constant calls and texts… people needing pieces of you every minute… And somewhere inside all that noise… you start losing quietness within yourself. (pause) So if you tired… if you overwhelmed… if you trying your best not to break while still showing up for everybody… This one right here… …for you. 🎤 VERSE 1 Alarm ringing before the sun awake Another morning running late Coffee cold by the kitchen sink Mind moving faster than I can think Phone buzzing like it pay bills too “Can you help?” “Need this from you” Boss talking deadlines all in my ear Meanwhile I’m barely holding tears Smile on my face but I’m mentally tired Everybody pulling, my soul stretched wire Trying stay calm but the pressure loud Too many thoughts in a crowded cloud Bills due all in the same damn week Gas low, rent high, barely sleep Even my quiet don’t feel like peace My mind won’t shut off long enough to breathe 🌑 PRE-CHORUS I keep saying “I’m okay…” But I don’t even know no more Every little thing piling up Till it feel like war (background whispers) “hold on…” “keep going…” 💥 CHORUS (piano trembling under heavy drums) CAN ANYBODY HELPPPP MEEEEEE… (before I fall apart tonight…) Everybody need somethin’ from me Bills hit all on the same damn week Phone keep ringing, I can’t find peace I’m smiling outside but I can’t breathe CAN ANYBODY HELPPPP MEEEEEE… (my mind won’t let me sleep…) Deadlines, stress, and anxiety Too much noise inside of me I keep holding everything But I’m under pressure… (background choir rises softly) Pressure… Pressure… (stereo whispers) “just breathe…” “don’t break…” 🎤 VERSE 2 Kids screaming while the dishes pile Traffic backed up another mile Manager calling asking “where you at?” Like I ain’t already drowning in that Inbox full and my patience thin Trying not to let the darkness in Even my rest got guilt attached Can’t relax when life move fast (text notification sound) Family needing emotional support Friends venting while I feel short Everybody see strength in me But nobody ask what strength cost me Some nights I cry in the shower slow So nobody hear what I never show Then dry my face and go right back Like pressure ain’t giving panic attacks 🌑 PRE-CHORUS 2 I’m overstimulated… Overworked… Overthinking every little word… (background choir hums) Trying not to lose myself While carrying everybody else 💥 CHORUS 2 CAN ANYBODY HELPPPP MEEEEEE… (before I disappear inside…) Everybody pulling pieces from me Trying be strong for my family Notifications don’t let me breathe Peace feel so far from reach CAN ANYBODY HELPPPP MEEEEEE… (I’m tired of hiding me…) Deadlines, stress, and anxiety Too much weight inside of me I keep carrying everything But I’m under pressure… (choir larger now) Pressure… Pressure… 🌧️ BRIDGE — MUSIC STRIPS DOWN I don’t need perfection… (pause) I just wanna breathe again. (tears in voice) I wanna sit down one night Without feeling guilty for resting Without my mind racing Without feeling behind in life (long silence) Sometimes strong people… need somebody too. (cello enters softly) 🔥 FINAL CHORUS CAN ANYBODY HELPPPP MEEEEEE… (before I lose myself tonight…) I been carrying everybody pain Still waking up through every strain Trying not to mentally break While giving more than I can take CAN ANYBODY HELPPPP MEEEEEE… (please hear me…) Deadlines, stress, anxiety All this pressure inside of me Still standing on exhausted knees But I’m under pressure… Pressure… Pressure… (background layered vocals) “hold on…” “you gon’ make it…” “keep breathing…” 🌑 OUTRO Some days… just making it through… is strength. (pause) Keep going… (long silence)
