A distorted guitar riff swells in the back.) (Lead - Spoken, commanding) They tried to squeeze us... They thought the heat was gonna destroy us. They didn't know what diamonds are made of. Watch this... (Chorus) (Full Beat Drop - Heavy 808s and brass stabs lock into a hard-hitting groove) Under the weight, I didn't break Every trial was a move He made Heat turned up, but I stood my ground Enemy thought he could crush me down Now look at the shift, look at the hour All that pressure turned to power! Yeah, pressure turned to power! (Verse 1) (Drum break driving; lead vocal sharp, punchy, in the pocket) Back to the wall, fire in the room Walking through the furnace, stepping out the tomb They counted me out, wrote off the name Didn't realize I was born in the flame Squeezed from the left, squeezed from the right Faith locked in, ready for the fight No weapon formed ever making a dent Every single blow was a blessing sent! (Chorus) (Full production exploding—stacked choir shouts accents) Under the weight, I didn't break Every trial was a move He made Heat turned up, but I stood my ground Enemy thought he could crush me down Now look at the shift, look at the hour All that pressure turned to power! Yeah, pressure turned to power! (Verse 2) (Bass drops lower; metallic hits double up on the snare beat) Summer was heavy, tests on tests Fighting through the nights, running off no rest But endurance kicked in, stamina grew Look at what the spirit carried me through It didn't destroy, it forged the steel Now I’m standing on a promise that’s real Walk in authority, step with weight Power in the stride, victorious fate!

(Lead) No trial! (Choir) (STANDS!) (Lead) Turn the tension into victory! (All) (LET’S GO!) (Chorus) (Full explosive drop—808s, electric guitar, choir, and brass) Under the weight, I didn't break Every trial was a move He made Heat turned up, but I stood my ground Enemy thought he could crush me down Now look at the shift, look at the hour All that pressure turned to power! Yeah, pressure turned to power! (Vamp / Outro) (Heavy, marching rhythm with call-and-response chants) (Lead) Turning it up! (Choir) (PRESSURE TO POWER!) (Lead) Stepping it out! (Choir) (PRESSURE TO POWER!) (Lead) Forged in the fire! (Choir) (PRESSURE TO POWER!) (Final heavy 808 hit and anvil strike, echoing out with ambient guitar feedback)
