Be advised?
What are you reading?
Is the truth?
Maybe, in some circles not.
We know that there is pressure on you.

If you a PK aka minister child?
What is expected?
What is required?
You must walk a path or representation.
Yes, there is pressure on you.

You can't date the single woman that's loose?
Even if you love her too.
You can't date the hustlers, ****, drug supplier?
Oh, yes, there's pressure on you.

For decades, we very aware of white rage and pressure on the white girl, woman or lady dating that black man.
You offended the family.
Dad, the mom, turning over in their grave.
Maybe, more.
But there's pressure upon you.

Switch it around.
All black males for decades you have been under the gun.
Many mothers have warned their black son about this path.
The hate you face.
The many stares you get and will continue to receive.

For sure, there is multiple pressure upon you.

Somewhere, at this particular time?
There is pressure on you.
