Pressure....
All around me.
Pressure....
It surrounds me.
Pressure....
Flowing through me.
Pressure....
Just Bite Me!
Break the skin and your in
Sucking my blood like a leach
I1m way out of reach
Life1s so unfair,so what I don1t care
Life1s a paradise, I just don1t understand
Life and death, walking hand in hand
Freedom of Speech is a rare thing
Struggling each day to sing
To sing this life through
All life found true
True as the sky in the air
True as the strong scent of despair
Pressure to do right or wrong
Pressure to fuck or smoke a bong
Whether life could be this bleak
Or is it, could it possibly this weak?
As weak as a stillborn baby
As weak as one1s last breath
Religions one and all
Whether Muslims or Jews
All faiths have their own spews.
Weak and the strong
Both are all wrong
Whether I1m living my life all wrong
I1m living my life and it1s my own
Life's a paradox that I don't understand
A paradox that is completely out of demand
Truth and lies are all the same
In this sad cruel world we live in
Love and lust are just the same
but one true and the other is just lame
True love is a question we all ask of ourselves to
make us complete, no one knows
Life and death are very similar
yet they don't feel very familiar.
Week of cold hearts pounding against our chest, years of torment running down our breasts.
Hearts of Gold, Hearts so Cold
Does it even begin to make sense with the young and the old
Truth is but one faction of life but lies are the most true of either faction.
Lies of old and new.
Lives of money and despair
That1s all society thrives on.
That1s all society lives on.
That1s all society is driven by.
So I say this is passing what is this world coming to when all we care about is who1s who1s views.
Thanks for hearing me out
I love discussing despair and doubt
But as I close remember dead are those who live on destruction or phat clothes.

"Pressure"
You have to learn to pace yourself Pressure
You're just like everybody else Pressure
You've only had to run so far So good But you will come to a place Where the only thing you feel Are loaded guns in your face And you'll have to deal with Pressure
You used to call me paranoid Pressure
But even you can not avoid Pressure
You turned the tap dance into your crusade Now here you are with your faith And your Peter Pan advice You have no scars on your face And you cannot handle pressure All grown up and no place to go Psych 1, Psych 2 What do you know? All your life is Channel 13 Sesame Street What does it mean? Pressure Pressure
Don't ask for help You're all alone Pressure
You'll have to answer To your own Pressure
I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale But here you are in the ninth Two men out and three men on Nowhere to look but inside Where we all respond to Pressure Pressure
All your life is Time Magazine I read it too What does it mean? Pressure
I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale But here you are with your faith And your Peter Pan advice You have no scars on your face And you cannot handle pressure Pressure, pressure

Full of potential yet nothing there filled with infinite ideas why so hard

Pressure pressure pressure in my head pressure pressure pressure in my
head
Tap into the bank of knowledge reaching for the source look around in my
mind for some meaning don't know what I might find hope I find it soon
taking just too much time sitting in this room
Pressure pressure pressure in my head pressure pressure pressure in my
head
Don't like what I'm seeing lack of drive and thought don't know how to fix

Look around in my mind hope to find any ideas I like and can write have to
have some meaning not just some words put some music to it get to work
Pressure pressure pressure in my head pressure pressure pressure in my

The road is long, many turns along the way
We lose control of the things we do and say
Oooh, I can't stop what's going on.
Sometimes we need a little rain
Wash away the pressure, pressure
Bring back the days
Like children in the rain
Take away the pressure, pressure
The world demands, so much everyday
We do our best, but sometimes it's never enough
I can't stop what's goin' on
Sometimes we need a little rain
Wash away the pressure, pressure
Bring back the days
Like children in the rain
Take away the pressure, pressure

Everyone is staring
Down at me again
Something's lacking
My friends
Never let me in
I feel the pressure
Pushing me
It's pushing me again
I can't take much more
Not any more,
Not any more I feel
That I've been pushed and
Held again the wall
No one, knew
How I felt inside
I feel, the walls are
Falling down
Inside my mind
I need, some time
To get away
Why can't anyone
Just listen
Leave me all alone
How come no one
Understands me

Good, you want to do it well
You take a few steps soon
But you're acting strange
Fifty-fifty chance in his heart
Hands are sweating on the basin steel
The light is on
Good, you have to do it right
You need to leave it behind
You feel the pressure is on
Pressure is on
Becoming a part of the melting pot
Soon, you need to do it soon
But you have to leave the room
You feel the pressure is on
Pressure is on

(Enuff&Ear;)
Fear 's the curse todays word is pressure
The worry and the strife are beyond all messure
Speed racer takin in that pressure
Pressure 's the fear, pressure 's the tear

(Enuff)
Look! Your baldhead a go turning grey

I can't stand the way that you make me
I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you take me
I feel pressure (release me)
I can't stop the way that you place me
Under pressure (release me)
The sound flew in the bare room
The ride's no longer spare
And time will always fall apart
In a house where they don't care
We fantasized your life
And recognized the sins
But it's tit for tat
You take the rap
Now it's me that's going to win
I can't stand the way that you make me
I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you place me
Under pressure
You've got chalk on the sidewalk,
And the telephone always rings
I'd rip the cord out, pull the wire out,
Kick it on the shins
You paralyzed the gold mine
And the trains are standing still
They pull you back and now you're trapped
As they move in for the kill
I can't stand the way that you make me
I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you place me
Under pressure
I can't stand the day that you wake me
I feel pressure (release me)
I can't stand the way that you break me
Under pressure (release me)
Everytime I walk out in the sun
The rain will come and really cry
Release me
We found you in the spare room
With your eyes no longer there
The lamp flex led up to your heart
Like a diver's cord for air
We electrolyzed your mind
And analyzed your limbs
Escapist rap, I've had all that
Now it's me that's going to win
I can't stand the way that you make me
I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you place me
Under pressure
I can't stand the day that you wake me
I feel pressure (release me)
I can't stand the way that you break me
Under pressure (release me)
I can't stand the way you disgrace me
I feel pressure (release me)
I can't stand the way that you hate me
I feel pressure (release me)
Everytime I walk out in the sun
The rain will come and really cry
Now I can't be me at all
Now I can't be me at all
Now I can't be me at all

Through the surface I will break out
Dissolving in the air free
I've been locked up through the cold
Breaking loose when I get warm
The pressure is rising every day
It suffocates me in every way
And the walls that keep me here
Are closing in
Pressure drop will rearrange me
The liberty of action
To never stop is what strives for
The wind will take me higher
The pressure is rising every day
It suffocates me in every way
And the walls that keep me here
Are closing in
Turbulence has made me stronger
The storm has gone away now
I have reached the altitude
From now on I'm going downhill
The pressure is rising every day
It suffocates me in every way
And the walls that keep me here

[Malcom X:]
Who are you?
You don't know?
Don't tell me negro
That's nothin
What were you before the white man named you a negro
What was your name?
It could'nthave been smith or jones or bush or powell
That wasn't your name
They don't have those kind of names where you and I came from
No what was your name?
And why don't you now know what your name was then

How did a man wipe out your history?
How did the man what did the man do to make you as dumb, as you are right now

No negro leaders have fought for civil rights
They paid for civil rights
They have begged the white man for civil rights
They have begged the white man for freedom
And anytime you beg another man to set you free
You will never be free
Freedom is something you have to do for yourselves
And until the american negro let's the white man know
That we are really really ready and willing to pay the price that is destin for freedom
Our people will always be walking around and second class citizens or what you call twentith century slaves
What price are you talking about sir?

Buzzing up with a musical attack
Rip it up with a boom sound we no lack

Too much pressure in this young life - pressure
Nothing to do to deal with my spite - pressure
Parents, teachers and cops fill me with hate - pressure
dead or jailed by this rate
Too much pressure, in this young life
too much pressure building up inside
Fucking people always in my face - pressure
Preaching ignorance about the race - pressure
I don't give a shit if I have no class - pressure

I've got pressure, I'm in deep
Seems everybody wants something from me
I was a lover, but now a thief
I'll take your breath away and set you free
I can't think, I can't see
They're taking pictures, want to see me freeze
I can't stop, I'm on top
And everybody likes the view from above
So much pressure
So much heat
So much hustle
They want me
[2x]
Come around, feel the sound
Boy you make my heart pound
Fill me up, bring me down
When I hear your sound
[4x]
Down [x32]
So much pressure
So much heat
So much hustle
They want me
[2x]
Come around, feel the sound
Boy you make my heart pound
Fill me up, bring me down
When I hear your sound
[3x]
Come around, feel the sound
Boy you make my heart pound
Fill me up, bring me down
Bring me down [x10]

Days
they drift
into each other
I cannot
tell one from another
And everything
I planned each time
surprise me
I cannot find
Peace of mind
Because I’m always way behind
Everything
Everyone
I can’t seem to catch up
Perfect strangers family
friends
It doesn’t matter
In the end
I know that at
some point
I will disappoint them
Things of no or great
importance
doesn’t matter
I tend to blend them
And randomly
I tend to forget them
All is essential
I really ought to
I should
I have to
I got to
I must
(And) on top of everything
I’m supposed to be happyPressure
Pressure
Pressure, pressure, pressure
All things are measured
By everybody
All the time
Nauseous
Tunnel vision
Headache
Anxiety
Confusion
Aggravation
(And) on top of everything

I can't take this pressure
Pressure
Pressure
Pressure
Pressure
Too many things are too extreme
There's too much shit, too many schemes
It never makes sense, it's just a hype
Forget about it, live your own life
Pressure
Pressure
Pressure
Pressure
Pressure

Law--
You live by bias rules
Law to break
Whenever you choose
Playing,--only playing
Guilty, guilty--
Judge and jury--tyranny
Sentence, sentence--
Fan the flames of anarchy
It's no example, sets no example
Pressure!--We will, we will slam the door
Let Go!--We will, we will run
Run away--
Schools who teach
But cannot learn
Learn you that soon
Fingers must burn
Growing never knowing
Pressure!--We will, we will slam the door
Let Go!--We will, we will run away--
Still farther
Hold on tight, hold on tight
Hold on tight--
All your dreams, all your dreams--
Keep them right
Be an anthem,
Must be an anthem
I feel--
Pressure!--We will, we will slam the door
Let go!--we will, we will run away!

Pride
Kept me strong
My faith was weak, I could not build upon
Their hands
Strangled me.
I asked if death perhaps could intervene
Sweat
Burned my skin
And just like me it made this wound unclean
A ghost
Teasing me.
I could not let him see my segrecy
This time the weight is off my back
I kept myself sincere
The pressure had to leave
This hour the boiling blood has calmed
I kept myself serene
The pressure had to leave

So crowded, over crowded.
Find me some room to move.
So twisted, so blistered.
Give me some room to unwind.
Release the valve, release the pressure.
I’ll blow my veins, It’s in my nature.
Coming up too fast and I can not find,
My decompression chamber.
So different, so completely different.
Give me something to relate to please.
Release the valve, release the pressure.
I’ll blow my veins; It’s in my nature.
Coming up too fast and I can not find,
My decompression chamber.
What are you trying to say to me?
It’s always, always me.
Coming up too fast and I can not find,
My decompression chamber.
Release the pressure, to make me better,
Release the pressure,
To make me well enough to be myself,
To laugh, to smile, to breathe a while.
To cry to be just true to me,

All this pressure is eating me up inside
And I feel like I'm being buried alive again
All this pressure is tearing me up inside
And the fear of failing is on my mind again
The anxiety's building up inside
And the thought of losing is running strong again
And I pace and smoke and tell you
If its over its over
And that's not my problem
Its not all my fault
You fucked with my heart
If its over its over and that's not my problem
All these questions are building in my mind
And I'm wondering how this came around again
The intensity that surrounds my life
Has me asking if I'm doing right again
All the memories of me failing life
Just increase the drive to do it all again
And I pace and smoke and tell you
If it over it's over
And that's not my problem
It's not all my fault
You fucked with my heart
If it's over it's over
And that's not my problem
It's not all my fault
You fucked with my heart
If it's over its over
And that's not my problem
All the words that we say push us farther and farther away
All the statements we make put the pressures of life in our way
All the time that we spend making choices that
Stand in our way
If it's over it's over
And that's not my problem
It's not all my fault
You fucked with my heart
If it's over it's over
And that's not my problem
It's not all my fault
You fucked with my heart
If it's over it's over
And that's not my problem
It's not all my fault

Live your life with some purpose
Otherwise the shit is worthless
(Even the pressure is precious)
Some get up
Get out
Others give up without
Much effort just doubt to justify the outcome
So what comes out?
Only what you put in throughout
Your travels through forked routes
Blind bends and dead ends
So do you make amends or sever ties?
Trust no one
Or trust that no one ever lies?
Do you run or try to overcome your biggest fears?
Do you make your presence known
Or simply fade and disappear?
I think the answer is clear
So many paths to choose and influence
Your life so reality and dreams are congruent
Or at least converging towards one another
So you can either make it happen
Or sit back and suffer
As you watch all the others
Make strides and accomplish
Whatever they wish
With confidence as their accomplice
Blame it on their arrogance
Pout and call them pompous
While you staple copies and bring coffee to their office
Regardless…
Only you determine if your life is worth it
Don’t compare it to a fictional standard of perfect
‘Cuz eventually the hidden defects will surface
And the ones who didn’t know will relieve you of service
‘Cuz there’s a surplus of those living lies
Who look into the mirror and see all that they despise
This bit of reinforcement shouldn’t come as a surprise
Though it took a couple decades to finally open my eyes

Is there-no hope
Will I-ever cope
Will I see-light ahead
Or live life-walking dead
When I look at my life I see
A never ending struggle
I can't get out of trouble
When it starts to look like things
Just might change-just might change
Something even more fucked up
gets in my way again
So much pressure on my brain
How much longer can I take the strain
Don't know if I can keep my anger tame
God please take away the pain
How much longer can I take the strain
So much pressure on my brain
Doesn't matter how hard I try
I just can't seem to win
Don't have a clue to what I've done
To deserve this shit
When I get a step ahead I get
Knocked back two-Knocked back two
Somebody tell me how I'm supposed to find
Strength to make it through
It's getting harder and harder
To keep my chin up
Every day in one way or another
Something's always trying
To keep me down
But I know

I used to worry all the time
About what you thought of me,
In my struggle for acceptance
I lost a lot of sleep.
Under social tyranny
I tried to measure up,
When I denied who I truly was,
I soon became the fool.
What a shame.
Never free to be me.
Never free to be me.
I used to think you had it all
And that I was missing out,
But once I took a closer look,
I soon realized
The luster of your lives
Was just a bunch of veneer
And all the happy memorie
Were just a bunch of made-up lies.
You lied.
You try to keep up with the crowd,
Never knowing who you are,
Always changing
Who you are.
After years of failure,
I finally got the clue.
I've wasted half of my life
Trying to be like you
Now I know my Maker,
I see who I was meant to be,
I don't need your social system,
Or a fake identity.

Every monday morning I think I'd better quit this job.
I work hard and seriously, although that's not
What I was dreaming of.
Finally I leave my desk, go home, switch on the telly
Slowly getting stupid, this is their aim
I'm glad they are not that perfect.
Don't wanna work
But don't wanna do nothing.
What am I looking for ?
Take that pressure from me
and tell me one thing :
What are the values of my life ?
Beyond existence the answer is
Spinning 'round that one solution
We can't prevent us being forced into accepting old
traditions
'Cause we were born here, we grew up here
we 're part of that whole thing
sometimes it makes me feel good
sometimes this makes me sick
Wanna change everything
But can't create a new world
Too much depends on it
Take that pressure from me
And tell me one thing
What are the values of my life ?
What is it worthwile fighting for ?

(SCANNING: How can it be i deserve this?
You keep me lonely on purpose, now my tears on the surface, after saying goodbye)
I'm alone but it's all right, cause you're not the one left alone
But it's all right cause you're not the one.
We're getting rid of the pressure, wo oh wow (x2)
We're getting rid of the pressure, it feels so right, dont need it no more.
How can it be I deserve this?
You keep me lonely on purpose, now my tears on the surface, after saying goodbye

After saying goodbye
I'm alone but it''s all right, cause you're not the one left alone
But it's all right cause you're not the one.
We're getting rid of the pressure, wo oh wow (x2)

Let's take our story right back to the start
Where all good tales begin, with a heart.
It's so hard growing up when no one cares about you,
The world's gone mad
The youth's gone crazy.
They just don't know which way to turn
The right direction?
Can someone steer them?
Yet I've been sucked into this shit for as long as I know
Feel like one alone, just finding a reason to remove myself.
This paranoia grabs you whole and leaves you breathless,
I'm so sick of this, please rid me of this.
Send me back to the days
When life wasn't so hard on the youth.
Just a little encouragement will help them on their way.
But their minds are so clogged up with all the shit that they're fed by the media.
We must increase the peace.
What will they say?
What will they do?

[Chorus:]
Let me give you some love and affection,
You got my attention,
You need no correction.
Mek Jah pure blessings in your direction,
You got my attention,
What an impression!
[Verse 1:]
So long I've been waiting,
To be with you all day long
I've been anticipating.
The first time we kiss was breathtaking
And girl, we got the bright future in the making.
When we are together
My heart feel so much better.
Girl, I need you and that's no lie.
Whenewher that we make love,
Eye and [?] Jah-Jah take cause
And that's so glad that Jah made you mine.
Give that Pressure smile on you face,
Jah will keep you warm and safe.
Make it worthwhile,
Just you and I
With love the Most High creates.
Let's down the family and make things straight,
Cause when and how we met,
Girl, it's not a mistake.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
There's something about her,
I just can't live without her,
Never had a woman like you.
I'll give you my love,
Girl, I got no intentions to hurt you
Stay close to me,
Don't sleep away,
We got romance we prayed.
Wherever I go you will follow,
I'll give you all and say,
Make sure the childen have health and faith,
Cause when I say: I love you,
That's what I meant.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
People say things,
[?] dont break you,
Girlfriend I truly appreciate you.
Touch the street,
Every [?] rate you,
Good loving I wait to,
From the darkness the Rastaman I wait you,
With corruption that cyant mistake you,
Only Pressure Buss Pipe can mek you.

If you don't know what to say
Then keep your mouth shut out the way
You'll get no flattery
If you know the time of day
Then why'd you let yourself go gray
You need a battery
'Cause every moment counts
As the watchdog waits to pounce
But he ain't smart as me
With the Bible on his lips
And a pistol on each hip
But he ain't blindin' me
So just remember
Don't believe all you see
Things aren't always how they're meant to be
Some come as villain, dressed as virtue
But all they really wanna do is hurt you
And that's reality
Gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We're gonna keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
So when it feels like a sit 'n' slide
I treat each day as a brand new ride
Let it all come down on me
You could be north, you could be east
You could be beauty, you could be beast
It don't mean a thing to me
You could be movin', you could be still
As long as it's of your own free will
Don't be a target, see
Well save our souls, Saints preserve us
Hold on tight now, but don't get nervous
Bring it on quick before the light fade
There live a lover, comin' out the shade
At first you act like you don't know me
And all you seem to care about is mourning
And every day it seem to get harder
I don't know how we're gonna reach it farther
Gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We're gonna keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me how to live my life
I won't respond to you
You may have my rank, have my file
But I'll resist you like the Nile
Don't matter what you do
Gonna keep it up
Gotta keep it up

Please forgive me
If I come on too strong.
I get a little anxious
When I talk about God's love.
Hold me back now,
Stop me if I start to preach,
'Cause I don't want to be the one
To push you out of reach.
The way to give love
Is how you live love;
That is what I'll do.
You cannot fight it,
You can't deny it.
Love will get to you.
Don't wanna get up in your face,
Don't wanna put the pressure on,
Don't wanna make you run away,
Just wanna show you love.
Don't wanna beg you to believe,
Don't wanna take you for a ride,
Don't wanna sell you anything,
Just wanna show you love,
Show you love;
Just wanna show you love.
Love, love, love.
I won't convince you
With anything I say.
But maybe you will see His love
In how it is portrayed.
An act of kindness,
A loving sacrifice;
Simple little things that have
The pow'r to change your life.
There's no surprises
And no disguises;
Just the blessed truth.
No obligations,
No complications;
Just a gift for you.
Don't wanna get up in your face,
Don't wanna put the pressure on,
Don't wanna make you run away,
Just wanna show you love.
Don't wanna beg you to believe,
Don't wanna take you for a ride,
Don't wanna sell you anything,
Just wanna show you love,
Show you love;
Just wanna show you love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Love's gonna get you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Love's gonna get you.
The way to give love
Is how you you live love;
That is what I'll do.
You cannot fight it,
And you can't deny it.
Love will get to you. (Get to you)
Don't wanna get up in your face,
Don't wanna put the pressure on,
Don't wanna make you run away,
Just wanna show you love.
Don't wanna beg you to believe,
Don't wanna take you for a ride,
Don't wanna sell you anything,
Just wanna show you love,
Show you love,
Show you love,
Show you love,
Show you love.
Live love, that's how you give love.
Live love, that's how you give love.
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,

[Chorus:]
Let me give you some love and affection,

I can't run away.
It's impossible to run away.
It's too fast.
It's about to collapse.
I have no other choice.
To run through this way is only what to do for me.
Give me the odds.
I feel pressures on my back.
To run through this way is only what to do for me.
Give me the odds.
I feel pressures on my back.
To die after living or to only die ?
I choose the former without any question.
To run through this way is only what to do for me.
Give me the odds.
I feel pressures on my back.
To run through this way is only what to do for me.
Give me the odds.

I can't stand the way that you make me
I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you take me
I feel pressure (release me)
I can't stop the way that you place me
Under pressure (release me)
The sound flew in the bare room
The ride's no longer spare
And time will always fall apart
In a house where they don't care
We fantasized your life
And recognized the sins
But it's tit for tat
You take the rap
Now it's me that's going to win
I can't stand the way that you make me
I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you place me
Under pressure
You've got chalk on the sidewalk,
And the telephone always rings
I'd rip the cord out, pull the wire out,
Kick it on the shins
You paralyzed the gold mine
And the trains are standing still
They pull you back and now you're trapped
As they move in for the kill
I can't stand the way that you make me
I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you place me
Under pressure
I can't stand the day that you wake me
I feel pressure (release me)
I can't stand the way that you break me
Under pressure (release me)
Everytime I walk out in the sun
The rain will come and really cry
Release me
We found you in the spare room
With your eyes no longer there
The lamp flex led up to your heart
Like a diver's cord for air
We electrolyzed your mind
And analyzed your limbs
Escapist rap, I've had all that
Now it's me that's going to win
I can't stand the way that you make me
I feel pressure
I can't stop the way that you place me
Under pressure
I can't stand the day that you wake me
I feel pressure (release me)
I can't stand the way that you break me
Under pressure (release me)
I can't stand the way you disgrace me
I feel pressure (release me)
I can't stand the way that you hate me
I feel pressure (release me)
Everytime I walk out in the sun
The rain will come and really cry
Now I can't be me at all
Now I can't be me at all

Pressure, Pressure, Step Into The Pressure Zone

I will not wait around to face my fortune
I will not wait around for something else
You are around my now, you can have anything
that you want
Calling all your resource for another time
that is fine
if I write a note and leave it anywhere
that is fine
