Pressure

[lupe fiasco]
Roc-a-fella, 1st and!!
Jay... lupe!

Yeah, uhh
And so it seems that i'm, sewin jeans
And, 1st and 15 is just a sewin machine
So i, cut the pattern and i, sew in seams
And, button in this hustlin then publically i'm buddy lee
There's no bustin them and cuffin them is like
Usherin in the regime, they want me to make prince pants
But i withstand, i ain't gotten into that
A little big in the waist, two-pocket on the back
Call them nu-vi's, o.g.'s covered in blue dye
Give 'em the game, that's like givin chocolate to the fat
Look, how you think i got here?
That's the same game that came through where i lived as a kid
In the bad luck truck and threw boxes off the back
Made me a ripper, deliver like river
Content a little more thicker, slicker
Yeah, and they said oil and water don't mix
Now they all down at the beach washin off the fish
Was blackbeard 'til i brought the roc into your ships
Yeah!

[chorus]
It's my life, my life - everything i dooo i dooooo for you
I do it all for you - everything i say you knowwww it's the truth
I'll say it is the truth - i'll take all the pressure offff of you
Take pressure off of you; i'll take, the pressure off of you

[lupe fiasco]
Yeah!
Uhh, it's hella proper (proper)
Cause it sag so low you can see boxer, like a boxer's
That's the way that the family's pants worn
Then we slide, and try and put 'em on
The stones in the pocket'll drag you down to davy jones locker
Beware if you wanna roc the knickerbocker
Other nigga from the block what, they was sellin o's
Like wheel of fortune, of imported cocaine
Just to feel important, it was +do or die+
They was tired of bein "po' pimps," now for sure
That was just a product of my common sense
I guess, i was just guessin like the consonants
Momma said beware of what the devil do
Tell 'em that your soul's not for sale like the w's
So go ahead and pirate, the highest
Cannons make you leak like pirated my shhh..
It's no shhh.. it's just shhh like quiet
And big homey's out of retirement

[chorus]

[jay-z]
Uhh, young, uhh
So the pen is mightier than the sword my lord
My first picture was a line-up, now i'm on the forbes
And i still remain the artiste through thees all
If you force my hand i'll be forced to "draw"
If the war calls for war halls
Hope you got enough space on your hall's walls
I make niggaz murals, then escape the bureau's
Investigation, out in europe on vacation
I'm back for these puppies with the pound boy
(blaow) here's a round boy (blaow blaow) down boy
Sound boy, you don't wanna soundclash loud noise
Leave niggaz paranoid if not paralyzed
Which means you can't walk in my shoes
Too much green you can't talk in my hue
Extend the team, nigga holla at lu'
1st and 15th, that's my cue, i'm through

[chorus]
