No Pressure

(Annabel Chima)

This song is quite niche...it's about gate-keeping the Exotical Community - for ALL Exoticals (Dark-Skinned, Brown-Skinned, Light-Skinned) - basically people who are Mixed/Admixed or 'look Mixed'. Further to this, it is about forming a safe space for us - or perhaps a new 'World' for us where we leave behind the outdated systems and form our own communities... I focus on the need to protect the young ones/the kids so that certain cycles don't repeat. I grew up hearing people bombard me with questions like, "What are you Mixed with?" and even had adults not believing my parents are my parents or saying I should "question them" about where I "really" come from (insinuating that my parents were hiding a certain DNA admixture in my bloodline from me)...I do not want my 'future' kids to go through that and I know that many Mixed/Admixed people can relate to this. I want my 'future' Exotical kids to be surrounded by other Exoticals who understand them/their looks/phenotype/ethnic background etc, not a society that constantly pokes at their looks and analyses how 'exotic' they look 24/7. We are often criticised more than others and feel the pressures to perform well or be 'perfect' in society. Additionally, it is not our fault that the world pedestalises us; we should own who we are, what we look like, and our accomplishments; I want us to be free, hence the song title, 'No Pressure'. The lyrics are just an Ode to ALL Exoticals - I want solidarity between us...do with it as you please! Genres: Rap, Hip Hop, RnB, Trap, Drill, Country, Poetry.

[Verse] 
Oh God, not again 
If I say how many times I've heard, "Is that all your hair?" I'd be dead 
I'd be declared a Billionaire 
Skin on dark, like "Is that a tan?" 
Yes, I'm a ten 
Yes, everything's real - my hair, my chest and derrière  
Keep things one hundred percent 
Yes when I kill germs, 'Anti-Bac' is scared 
'Anti-White' and 'Anti-Black' deserve each other 
I'm not either but I came prepared 
Hanging on the walls like the 'Monalisa' (observer) 
My lips on swole - like Angelina 
My hips don't lie - word to Shakira 
I'm a big deal in my town - need a bigger Crown 
And I'm down like the ten on my street 
Knights, Presidents, and Ministers break necks just to see the jiggle 
They feel so entitled (like the man) 
I'll turn them to Dads 
I'll make 'em weed out my haters like police do with criminals 
'Cause I feel like people are way too concerned with what my kid will look like 
Feel like Meghan Markle 
What the glow is  
How sharp the nose is (Why you got a nose bridge?) 
Waves or whether it's Curlies 
Because God blessed us all 
It's not our fault that we're always chosen first 
Quick to be at the front of the line but never at the back of the bus 
All this Activism shit got me feeling like Rosa Parks 
And if I hide my future kid  
It's 'cause the World's weird 
Maybe that's why Drake did 
Feel sorry for Mixed Kids, 
Exoticals always get shit! 
Brown, Chocolate, Yellow - people are always trying us (pop shit) 
But I'm raising up the dead to Heaven 
They call me 'Raises' 
If I see you in the streets don't even ask about XXXX
