Through The Pressure

Lyrics

[Intro]
If you’re hearing this…
You made it through something already…
Might not feel like it yet
But you’re still here

[Verse 1]
Old scars
Still itchin' on my back
Got doubts in a duffel
That I never unpack
Mama said
"Baby
You’re stronger than you act"
But I only saw the cracks
In the glass
In the glass

Late rent
And the letters on the floor
Heart like a hallway
With a locked up door
Friends fell off
When the storm came pourin'
I was talkin' to the ceiling
Til the sky stopped roar-in'

[Chorus]
We still standin’ through the pressure (through the pressure)
Can’t break what was built from effort (built from effort)
Every setback made us better
Yeah
We bend but we don’t sever
We still standin’ through the pressure (through the pressure)
Can’t break what was built from effort (uh-uh, never)
If we made it through the weather
We gon’ walk into forever

[Verse 2]
Look at you
Breathin' like a quiet win (yeah)
All those nights you thought
You’d never see again
All those “I can’t”
Turnin' into “I did”
You the proof that a prayer
Can outlive what it lived in

Hands shakin'
But you still laced your shoes
Heart achin'
But you still told your truth
That ain’t weakness
That’s the toughest kind of proof
Every bruise on your soul
Is a medal you grew

[Chorus]
We still standin’ through the pressure (through the pressure)
Can’t break what was built from effort (built from effort)
Every setback made us better
Yeah
We bend but we don’t sever
We still standin’ through the pressure (we still, we still)
Can’t break what was built from effort (can’t break, can’t break)
If we made it through the weather
We gon’ walk into forever

[Bridge]
So if your voice shakes
Say your name anyway (anyway)
If your legs weak
You can lean on my faith
We came this far
On a broken kind of grace
If the past couldn’t kill us
It can’t touch today (nah)

[Chorus]
We still standin’ through the pressure (through the pressure)
Can’t break what was built from effort (built from effort)
Every setback made us better
Yeah
We bend but we don’t sever
We still standin’ through the pressure (we still standin')
Can’t break what was built from effort (oh, never)
If we made it through the weather
We already wrote the letter
We still standin’ through the pressure
Can’t break what was built from effort
