From Ari Lennox’s “Pressure”:
Now you textin’ me, you know I won’t reply (Reply)
Why you ain’t f*ck with me when I wasn’t this fly (Fly)
Now I’m on top and now I’m ridin’ sky-high (Pressure)
Don’t need nobody but I’ll take you down tonight
And I’m okay with bein’ nasty (Pressure)
Too f*ckin’ hot for all these clothes anyway (Pressure)
My body drippin’, boy, but you gon’ have to wait (Pressure)
But when you get it, lick it like a candy cane
Okay, then.
