Torrence Jerell Esquire - Press On Lyrics

I've been through some hard times
Seen brothers blasting over dimes
While others roll on the block with spinning rims that shine
Laid back behind the tint reclined
Negativity often shines in the eyes
Of the youth in they prime
They see the beautiful imagery and
Enlighten they mind in unsuitable activities
While others flee the city, switch the block to the burbs
Isolated but intoxicated checking them curves
In the videos until the imagery penetrates deep
Into a more fictional reality but it's real
Got to pay the bills should you steal and kill,
Or slang on the corner with the brothers that chill?
The pressure's real
When you see the pastor tripping diapers dripping
Feeling DMX on that cut where he's slipping
Enemy's pry to try to find more ammunition
I've fallen many times
How much better now my decisions
I pray and fast to purify my intuition
Through my reflection
It seems the best action is repentance
Walk in forgiveness
Leave what's in the past behind
Stay focused and pay attention
Renew my mind seek my elders listen to wisdom
And value every word I speak down to the sentence
I'm a conqueror I do what the conquerors do
In hard times I press through

Press Press Through
Press Press
Press Press
Press Press Press Through

I have been sent to encourage you to press toward perfection
In the shadow of the pitch black of night press in the right direction
Not that I have been made perfect for I am too pressing everyday
I leave what's in the past behind and press toward the prize that lies ahead of me
Peace is war
Peace is war, victoriously
Not the absence of ones enemies but feasting in their presence
Peace is the effervescent
Light of life that shines through
No matter what the circumstance or situation you press through
You do what you got to do yea
This is for the real hustlers
This is even for the busters
Because you got to press
No matter what you going through this is a test
And in the end
You might receive a crown a righteousness
So press on

Press in the right direction
Press in the right direction
Press in the right direction

Press toward the
Press toward the
Press toward the prize
