🧠 VERSE — “Pressure & Restraint” Yao think yo can bend mii sight—cast mae out in illusion But I see da seams in di frame—I ain’t lost in confusion yo straight droolin, mii jus toolin', foolin', coolin dae heat — grew up tillin' hell’s fields, paid da cost fo' free - dum Died a thousand silent deaths just ta learn how ta move - ah Mii know what it take when ya standin still too long en Every choice got a weight—every right got a wrong end Every chance we take carve a path we can’t undo et So ehy move wid intention in everything we doin' Yao can see da pressure be pushin'—but ehy hold it in check Not every force we got is meant ta land on di neck Cause we got our people, got a life that we built we ain’t burn it all down just ta prove that we built See di youngin' say: “why you don’t change da world if you really got da will?” But they don’t see da weight of a life we gotta fill Got a kid… got a home… got a name we protect Every move we make ripple—every step got effect Most don’t fall cause they weak—nah they tied ta dae ground Guardin small pieces of peace they can’t risk losin nao So they stay in they lane—not cause they lack da spark But they know what it cost when you step in da dark 🧬 HOOK (Recontextualized — Now It Hits Deeper) Pressure in mae seams… (pressure in mae seams) Di tide ah pull, but mii hold di line Pressure in mae seams… (hold it, hold it fine) Restraint inna di dark, keepin’ di peace weh we find Pressure, pressure… (in mae seams) Burstin’ like di ocean, but ehy nah let it break Pressure, pressure… (in mae seams) Guardin’ small pieces a’ light we cyan forsake Pressure in mae seams… (echoed, drifting) Mii know di weight… mii know di cost… Pressure in mae seams… (fractured layers merge) Still mii stand… still mii stand…
