Songtext Back against the wall D-Pryde

Back against the wall

(Verse)
Man we just paid off that lawyer
Yea, I feel like we're in debt
We need to bleed success but you ain't felt that feeling yet
You don't succeed unless you fail
Yea, my momma taught me that
And she got cancer, so I'm fighting just like her in a hospital bed
Man they pushed me
Hard for me, these deals ? they never called back
Sellin dreams I ain't up for all that
Shows are cancelled, I ain't with it
The top is looking distant plus nobody wants to give us no assistance
So we'll do it on our own
No help, no wealth
No majors, just ourselves
Where's your team at? They ain't working it up
We been in the dirt, I know you ain't workin like us
Just quit the frontin and giving us fake budgets
And telling me I got talent
You lying but oh I love it
I just gotta stay on top of it, dominant
I'll do this on my own ?cos that's exactly how I started this

(Hook)
They don't know the struggle and the things that I've seen
You can do you and I'mma do me
But I will not fall
?Cus I have it all
And the pressure's eating me to the core
Stay motivated, I'll never fall to the floor
But I will not fall
?Cus I have it all
With my back against the wall

(Verse)
Yo, fake dreams they gave me
Haters be talking crazy ?cus this watch isn't an AP
But look what you bastards made me
I'm build off hate, I got my skills all played
I've witnessed notes to my face, I've witnessed real talk fake
And things hurt you
We put in too much work to have it all gone
Bills are overdue but I will not fall
Labels tell you oh we'll hit you back
They will not call
Or they give you crappy deals to play while you just sign your life away
And all these A&R's are idiots, they can't all manage
You could fill arenas with these dudes who skipped on talent
But I can't fail
From now on I hate all
This music must be full-time, I'll never have a day job
I came in here to take all
Confidence is something I won't overdose
Penetrating labels with I told you so's
I will not lose
As long as I got my head in the clouds
I'mma die tryin to make my momma proud

(Hook)
They don't know the struggle and the things that I've seen
You can do you and I'mma do me
But I will not fall
?Cus I have it all
And the pressure's eating me to the core
Stay motivated, I'll never fall to the floor
But I will not fall
?Cus I have it all
With my back against the wall

(Verse)
We made smores, at the same day we buried my friend
And his son was at the studio, right after the funeral
I do this all for him
Grinding for my team, sticking through the thick and thin
Momma told me that she only got 5 years to live
Crying on my shoulder like
Son, remember I told that you gotta be real famous before I pass away
Just imagine all the pressure kickin
Have it all stress ya

(Bridge)
Countless nights and days I stayed in here
And I worked so hard
Been knocked down way too much
But still I had to play my part
And the lights flash in and the lights flash out
I'm still here and I won't back down
I know, I know
I got my back against the wall

(Hook)
They don't know the struggle and the things that I've seen
You can do you and I'mma do me
But I will not fall
?Cus I have it all
And the pressure's eating me to the core
Stay motivated, I'll never fall to the floor
But I will not fall
?Cus I have it all
With my back against the wall
