You stack the weight and call it drive Tell me that’s how I survive Every standard set too high Then ask me why I feel confined Every comment dressed as care Every silent judging stare Every line I’m told to hold Until my edges start to fold I played along, I kept it clean Fitted somewhere in between But something under all that calm Was tightening inside my palm I’m done measuring my breath By expectations I never met I feel the ground begin to shift And something in me start to resist No — No More Pressure No more pressure on my name No — No More Pressure No more pressure in my brain No — No More Pressure No more weight I didn’t choose No — No More Pressure No more rules for me to use Every label, every frame Trying to reduce my name Every version you prefer Feels like someone else in blur Every box you draw in lines Trying to redesign my mind Every time you raise the bar Push me further from who I am I bent enough, I played the role Kept the noise under control But pressure builds and pressure breaks And something in me finally wakes I won’t shrink to fit your view I won’t trade what feels like true Something sharp is breaking through And I know what I have to do No — No More Pressure No more pressure over me No — No More Pressure You don’t decide who I’ll be No — No More Pressure No more bending just to fit No — No More Pressure I’m done carrying your script I’ve been holding back the fire Calling silence something higher Letting doubt rewrite my tone Like I was safer overthrown But underneath the polished calm There’s something steady, something strong Not loud enough to start a war But done with kneeling on the floor I’m not the shape you tried to draw Not the silence that you saw I’m done shrinking who I am Just to fit inside your plan All the weight I let you stack All the times I held it back All the silence, all restraint All the polish, all the paint Every standard, every line Trying to redesign my spine Every voice that said adjust Every doubt that killed my trust I’m not your outline Not your mold Not your version to control No more silence No disguise No more living minimized No — No More Pressure No more pressure in my head No — No More Pressure No more fear in what I said No — No More Pressure No more living half defined No — No More Pressure I take back what once was mine No — No More Pressure No more pressure
