Skyline Pressure

[Intro]

City in my rearview

Breath stuck in my chest

Mama said it’s my time

I don’t get to rest

[Verse 1]

I was eating cold rice

Dreaming ‘bout a gold life

Scrolling through that timeline

Thinking, “That should be mine”

Friends turned to old lies

Love turned to goodbyes

Now I keep my head high

Pressure made the coal shine

[Pre-Chorus]

They said, “Slow down, you’ll burn out”

I said, “Watch me, I’ll turn up”

All this doubt in the background

All this faith in my blood

[Chorus]

Skyline pressure, I’ma rise, I’ma rise

Diamond on my chest, see it shine in your eyes (yeah)

Came from nothing, now I’m stuck in your mind

Every second, every step on the climb

Skyline pressure, I’ma rise, I’ma rise

Running through the night till I light up the sky (light up the sky)

Write my name across the edge of the high

Skyline pressure, I’m alive, I’m alive (hey!)

[Verse 2]

Deals on the table

Smiles feel fatal

Handshake sugar, contract razor

Pray for my brothers that faded

Pray for my heart that jaded

Money made rooms get quiet

Still, I hear crowds go riot (woah)

[Pre-Chorus]

They said, “Slow down, you’ll burn out”

I said, “Watch me, I’ll turn up”

All this doubt in the background

All this faith in my blood

[Chorus]

Skyline pressure, I’ma rise, I’ma rise

Diamond on my chest, see it shine in your eyes (shine in your eyes)

Came from nothing, now I’m stuck in your mind

Every second, every step on the climb

Skyline pressure, I’ma rise, I’ma rise

Running through the night till I light up the sky

Write my name across the edge of the high

Skyline pressure, I’m alive, I’m alive (I’m alive)

[Bridge]

Tell ‘em load that stage up (stage up)

Tell ‘em turn that flame up (flame up)

If I fall, I get up, same cut

Same scars, same rush, same love (same love)

If they ask who did it from the ground, point up

If they ask who’s with me now, it’s us

[Chorus]

Skyline pressure, I’ma rise, I’ma rise

Diamond on my chest, see it shine in your eyes

Came from nothing, now I’m stuck in your mind

Every second, every step on the climb

Skyline pressure, I’ma rise, I’ma rise

Running through the night till I light up the sky (light up the sky)

Write my name across the edge of the high

Skyline pressure, I’m alive, I’m alive (oh yeah)
