Raxstar - Pressure Lyrics

Not everybody gets it
Not everybody will understand
But I know how it feels
Believe me I do... yeh

There's so much pressure to get married
And if you ain't
They look at your age and ask you what will people say
Like I should be ashamed for tryna find the right one
Is this karma for all the bad things that I've done?
Don't I deserve to be happy?
My careers going well but they just see a failure when they're looking at me
Like success don't mean a thing
Until you got a wedding ring
Until that's done, then how can your life really begin?
Believe me I thought I'd be settled down by now
Thought my Dad would still be around by now
Thought "the One" I would've found by now
Thought I've have some rugrats running round by now
But no

All of my intentions are good
But not to everyone around me
And I would've pleased you if I could
But you don't understand this road that I take
All of these excuses I'm making
So I had to write a song for you
To let you know, to let you know

There's so much pressure to be happy
And if you ain't
In this social media age there's no reason to complain
People will do anything for just a little fame
We don't want to be forgotten please remember my name
I've been tryna find balance, addicted to my phone
I just want to feel connected I've been feeling so alone
I've been feeling so confused and deflated
We've all got a definition of what it means to make it
I just want to be made
I just want to be great
I just want to be loved
I give more than I take
I just want to be as selfless as my Dad was
I've been feeling helpless without my Dad's love

All of my intentions are good
But not to everyone around me
And I would've pleased you if I could
But you don't understand this road that I take
All of these excuses I'm making
So I had to write a song for you
To let you know, to let you know

I don't want to tell nobody what I dream of
No-one wants to die, everybody wants to see God
I always feel like I don't belong
Voice in my head telling me that I should speak up
How can you say you're scared
When you can look in the mirror and see greatness there
The ashes of your past
The passion and the scars
The magic and the laughs
Live within your battered heart

All of my intentions are good
But not to everyone around me
And I would've pleased you if I could
But you don't understand this road that I take
All of these excuses I'm making
So I had to write a song for you
To let you know, to let you know
