In Pressure from ALLCAPSALLAN, the artist presents sincere and unpretentious rhymes of plowing through a rough world. In the track, he reveals through cold moments, dark days, but surviving because labor isn’t complete until there can be actual recompense. ALLCAPSALLAN means devotion beats pretentious friendships, which is evident he’d be better off alone than be right up there with individuals that can’t be trusted.

He speaks of pressure being so great, but he derives that pressure to push himself even more. He brings a street level of flair to the language, which only serves to verify that he gets the price of merely surviving, nevermind succeeding. No time for switching allegiances; consistency, loyalty are major themes. When he speaks of men switching on the bros or phonying, he gets personal, as if he got taken for a ride before but learned his lesson for life.

ALLCAPSALLAN speaks emphatically but simply, interspersing blunt talk with evocative images of cold nights, silent silences that ring through your ears, betrayed loyalty. Some of the lines are duplicated, giving heft, almost a list, that these movements are a perennial. And that, pride of being better than, of being frugal, keeping the group small.

Another notable aspect of the lyrics is he speaks of doing things on his own, without apology, or assistance. It is a proclamation of strength and autonomy that becomes the perfect candidate for a song title. Even when pressure gets too intense, ALLCAPSALLAN demonstrates he will not budge. All these lyrics conclude that which are made up of moving on, keeping real, and transforming pressure to power. It gets personal, but that relatable aspect makes Pressure a song felt for whoever finds themselves on a rough streak of a life of their own.
