Pressure Ft. Kyle Bent

by Sri Kala

/

about

There is nothing like experiencing a deep sense of ease when you are going up against a challenge. But what happens when there is pressure and overwhelm? What’s in your tool belt to transmute that and continue with your unique mission?

This song is for all those that show up with their service -- day in and day out making it happen, in service to the evolution of our planet. This new song “Pressure” is also an ode to those that see the blessing in discomfort. It’s a tool to navigate the overwhelm. Navigate pressure.

Kyle Bent is the perfect feature for this track. He came into my studio and did the whole verse without writing. He sat right in front of the mic and let his genius go. To me he brings together two important aspects of the renaissance artist. First, his skill level with words is unparalleled. Second, he’s sincerely focused on becoming a better human and understanding the holistic levels of life.

Pressure is deep beats, hiphop, trap fusion and bass colliding with Asian string instruments (Chinese violin and India’s Esraj).

Music produced, lyrics written (except for Kyle’s Verse), song mixed and mastered by me. I had the fortune of working with “Diamond” as a consultant and co-producer on this track, one of J. Cole’s producers of Dreamville Records.

Please enjoy this new musical creation. From my heart to yours!

lyrics

Hey that mission just might test ya.
Ain't no crystal without pressure.
Hey that mission just might test ya.
Ain't no crystal without pressure.

Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Ain't no crystal without pressure.

Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Ain't no crystal without pressure.

Srikala:
Brooklyn to LA, rolling like massive tires
Ain't no force to my flashy thats massive tire.
What is real is outlasting when that expires
flip it then do it different than mass attire

I put the pen to the paper and pass the fire
Imma be rocking you baby, no pacifier.
And we gone be doing it daily, more than required
if he say anything but the greatest, ya mans a liar

What a scene to behold
Rock and a hard place squeezing out old
Heat me up and then breathe in the cold
Now it's different, I don't fit in the mold.

In my wins are struggles to be told
Bob and weave, some hit some missing
Feel the burn and still more repetitions
Cause a diamond emerge
When this meteor hits from a distance.

Hey that mission just might test ya.
Ain't no crystal without pressure.
Hey that mission just might test ya.
Ain't no crystal without pressure.

Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Ain't no crystal without pressure.

Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Ain't no crystal without pressure.

Kyle Bent:
Catch me in the wave, Atlantis
This life a staircase, it’s outlandish
Infinite choices, command it
Everything go where your hand is
Trust in the path like you planned it
Ready for everything grandiose
Possibilities like planets
Every moment is expansion
And your story is the glory
They gon try to knock you off but you a diamond
Yes my life is always rhyming
I know it’s all bout perfect timing
And I even gotten started
Majesty my heart is
Something passed describing
I am older than the scribe is
And still divine as the horizons
Universe a question mark, I’m unknown
Knowledge in my dome, travel through the OMs
Everything is everything, the story goes
Learn it as you grow
Let the world explode
Imma travel in it
I’m a mathematician
Young magicians
With the swag my bag is dripping
Paper flipping for the
Mission
Drastic switches
Have my family living
Lavish
Had to get it
Yeah

Hey that mission just might test ya.
Ain't no crystal without pressure.
Hey that mission just might test ya.
Ain't no crystal without pressure.

Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Ain't no crystal without pressure.

Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Pressure Pressure
Ain't no crystal without pressure.

I came out of the Rock tumbler.
Smoothed out a gem, a little still raw.
Diamonds grown from a meteor.
Turn on the steam. Extreme temperature.
