I want the finer things, diamond rings Where's that Always ask me Where, where's your head at Climbing up the charts Somebody said that (Ah) No pressure, no pressure Fame don't suit nobody better Power trips all in my head I'm just feeling like the greatest Lets just say it, lets just say it They can't love if the don't hate us but No, no, no, no pressure No, no, no, no pressure No, no, no, no pressure Without my pops I couldn't reach the top Without my moms I wouldn't drop these bombs So everyday I'm thanking God I ain't selling snow, I ain't cooking hard And I ain't holding scales Run a finger through my scar with her coke nails Blood dripping down my face on some old trails Pistol whipped, called they bluff And I didn't feel much just adrenaline rush Like in the heat of the moment You hold it out? Should've pulled the trigger, oh who got the juice now Cause I kept my faith, held my ground You got my back and I don't see you now Cause if you fiend for the money the money be temporary And we fiend for everything, who are you to try compare me Say who are you, who are you huh? Be patient, will pop Ran business, made guap Called hits to make it all stop Now a new life where I'm at the top These are my confessions, my lessons I'm still alive I think that a blessing Yeah that's a blessing Say that's a blessing I want the finer things, diamond rings Where's that Always ask me Where, where's your head at Climbing up the charts Somebody said that (Ah) No pressure, no pressure Fame don't suit nobody better Power trips all in my head I'm just feeling like the greatest Lets just say it, lets just say it They can't love if the don't hate us but No, no, no, no pressure No, no, no, no pressure No, no, no, no pressure (Seven's Verse) Everyone be telling yo Seven you about to make it Telling me I changed a bit, I been trying not to say shit As far as I'm concerned I'm only changing for the better Not knowing about the famous life, not knowing about the pressure But I want to keep it humble count this paper, hope I stay together Always said that there's no better way to spit, you know it's Seven All the people always trying to gas me up so when I'm revving, hope you out the way when I hit the throttle, roaring engines Despite you fuckers that be thinking about my downfall, that only makes me want to aim and fire out this mic dog They expect it from me don't they Every bodies homies all these rappers and the fans that really know me won't they I remember when I was sitting at the bottom, jotting all my fucking problems to the pen And now it's like they're gonna be screaming Seven got em' again, Seven got em' again, Seven got em' again Lord Ayo Jacob throw the beat on cause I'm going in and trust me I'm gonna do nothing less than feast on all these rapper haters, adversaries, it's really kind of scary is I'll probably catch a body on this track and fuck a cemetery But I gotta keep my cool though, your believing in your own hype? That's how a fool goes so Imma chill and do my thing This life couldn't be suited better Mr. Seven, yes I run the city but they saying... I want the finer things, diamond rings Where's that Always ask me Where, where's your head at Climbing up the charts Somebody said that (Ah) No pressure, no pressure Fame don't suit nobody better Power trips all in my head I'm just feeling like the greatest Lets just say it, lets just say it They can't love if the don't hate us but No, no, no, no pressure No, no, no, no pressure No, no, no, no pressure
