The pressure of life
The pressure of life makes me want to stab myself with a knife.
The pressure of life makes me hate my family and the thought of one day having kids and a wife.
The pressure of life makes me want to kill.
The pressure of life makes me want to do all this stuff for the thrill.
The pressure of life has me ready to fail
The pressure of life has me locked up in jail.
The pressure of life makes me feel so numb.
The pressure of life makes me just want to sit in in a corner and suck my thumb.
The pressure of life is so hard.
The pressure of life makes me feel like a retard.
Oh the pressure of life is just the realest of them all.
and the pressure of life is what caused me to fall.
The pressure of life makes me hate my family and the thought of one day having kids and a wife.
The pressure of life makes me want to kill.
The pressure of life makes me want to do all this stuff for the thrill.
The pressure of life has me ready to fail
The pressure of life has me locked up in jail.
The pressure of life makes me feel so numb.
The pressure of life makes me just want to sit in in a corner and suck my thumb.
The pressure of life is so hard.
The pressure of life makes me feel like a retard.
Oh the pressure of life is just the realest of them all.
and the pressure of life is what caused me to fall.

From the perspective of a old guy, I do think growing up in today's world has challenges my generation didn't have to worry about. The task is to take those obstacles and challenges and make them into advantages.
I do have to take issue with the term "retard". As someone who taught Special Education and has a masters degree in the field, I found that term rather degrading and offensive when used to put down my students. I can cite you several wonderful human beings who would be defined with special needs that did quite well for themselves, none of whom were labeled with such a word. You do yourself an insult by calling yourself one!
