Built From The Pressure

[Intro] Yeah I came too far to turn around Put everything I had into this now Let it hit Let it breathe This is everything they never thought I'd be I got scars that I never put on display Had to fight through the nights just to make it to day Had a head full of dreams and a pocket of doubt Now I'm kicking down doors they kept locking me out I learned real quick who was real, who would fold Who would stand by my side when the weather turned cold I was down to my last, still I never went broke Had a fire in my chest that the rain never choked Every loss put a lesson deep under my skin Every time I got knocked down, I got up again They can talk, they can laugh, they can say what they please They don't know what it cost just to stand on my feet I ain't asking for permission to become who I am Put my heart in the work, put my soul in the plan If the world wants a reason I'm still standing tall Tell them I was built to rise every time I fall [Chorus] I was built from the pressure Made from the pain Walked through the fire Came out through the flames You can push me down But I won't stay there I got too much life And too much fight to spare I was built from the pressure Hear that heartbeat pound Everything I lost Couldn't keep me down Let the whole world watch Let them all find out I was born with a fire They can't put out [Verse 2] I got miles in my mind and a storm in my chest Never needed their approval to give it my best I have seen empty promises dressed up as gold And I've watched people change when the truth got told So I move with a purpose, keep my eyes on the road Carry weight on my shoulders that nobody knows I don't need every hand to be reaching for mine I can walk through the dark till I see my own light There were nights I was tired, almost ready to quit Had to look in the mirror and remember my grit I got people and dreams that depend on my drive So I turn every reason to give up into why Now the bass hits hard and the whole room shakes Every breath that I take is a chance I can take I ain't perfect, ain't finished, got a long way to go But there's one thing about me that the world needs to know [Chorus] I was built from the pressure Made from the pain Walked through the fire Came out through the flames You can push me down But I won't stay there I got too much life And too much fight to spare I was built from the pressure Hear that heartbeat pound Everything I lost Couldn't keep me down Let the whole world watch Let them all find out I was born with a fire They can't put out [Bridge] When the lights go low And the room gets quiet When the road gets rough I don't run from the fight Every breath I take Every step I make Is a promise to myself That I won't break [Final Chorus] I was built from the pressure Made from the pain Walked through the fire Came out through the flames You can push me down But I won't stay there I got too much life And too much fight to spare [Intro] Don't test the king Hot Springs-Town blood in my veins, hear the metal ring I don't bend, don't break, don't do pretending I'm the storm, I'm the spark, I'm the ending I came from the side where the slabs cross slope Where the hustle never sleeps and the pain don't go Where the real stay real and the fake get exposed Where the loyalty is currency and everybody knows I ain't built for approval, I ain't built for applause I'm built for the grind, for the scars, for the cause I'm built for the nights when the world felt cold And the only thing I had was my heart and my soul [Pre-Chorus] People talk big shit but they crumble under weight I been carrying whole worlds since I stepped out the gate I've been fighting in the battles they ain't strong enough to face [Chorus] Don't test the king Hot Springs-Town blood in my veins, hear the metal ring I don't bend, don't break, don't do pretending I'm the storm, I'm the spark, I'm the ending [Verse 2] Don't question me Built from the dirt, from the grind, from the legacy I don't need your love, your nine, your energy I'm self-powered, self-made, that's the recipe I know who the fuck I am [Chorus] Don't test the king Hot Springs-Town blood in my veins, hear the metal ring I don't bend, don't break, don't do pretending I'm the storm, I'm the spark, I'm the ending Don't test the king Hot Springs -Town blood in my veins I was built from the pressure Now I'm standing proud I turned every setback Into something loud Let the whole world watch Let them all find out I was born with a fire They can't put out [Outro] Built from the pressure Raised by the fight Still got my soul Still got my life I came too far To turn around Built from the pressure I won't back down
