A funny thing
happened yesterday
I felt the pressure
in a brand new way
It kept hitting me
from all directions
I got this feeling
I was cracking up
My knees were shaking and
I couldn't close my eyes
I fought to gain control
and make corrections
A funny thing
happened yesterday
I felt the pressure
in a TV way.
Don't feel, don't feel
Feel pressure from me
Don't feel, don't feel
No pressure from me
Don't feel, don't feel
Feel pressure from me.
You watch the box
and the video jocks
If you could talk that
could even be you up there
That's why you need
max head room
Too much pressure
for peace on earth
Too much tryin'
to get your money's worth
Too much dying
The Eldorado,
the Mercedes Benz
The job security
that never ends.
Don't feel, don't feel
Feel pressure from me
Don't feel, don't feel
No pressure from me
Don't feel, don't feel
Feel pressure from me
Don't feel, don't feel
No pressure from me.
I feel the pressure
building every night
One of these days I'm gonna
go out like a light
Oh, baby
I feel the pressure
building every night
One of these days I'm gonna
Pressure pressure I got pressure, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Pressure pressure I got pressure, oh yeah
I don't really want to give it to you
'Cos it's really contagious
You can pick it up anywhere
And it can be quite dangerous
You can spread it mouth to mouth
You can even get it when you're alone
But I can always live with it
Whenever I am close to you
Pressure pressure I got pressure, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Pressure pressure I got pressure
I get it driving in my motor car
I get it when I'm drinking in a bar
I get it riding on the subway
I get it regular every day
And anyone who never had it yet
And doesn't know what I'm going through
But I forget the pressure
When I am close to you
Altogether now-Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Pressure pressure I got pressure Oh yeah. oh yeah. oh yeah
Pressure pressure FEEL THE PRESSURE
You got the pressure and that's a fact
I can tell by the way you act
And I can tell that you're pressurised
By the look that's in your eyes
I know the pressure 'cos I've got it too
So I know what you're going through
But I forget the pressure
Why can't you admit
You've done of what's you've told
Like the dog waiting for the bone
You greed, can't you, just tell the truth
You did what you have to,
And so you decided to sold me, out (for the money)
Tonight you'll suffer,
Of what pressure you made me go trough,
So this time, the revenge will be mine
And I'll give it all back to you
Close your eyes and count to the ten,
This won't take a long, just a few seconds (left ahead)
It doesn't hurt so much either, I'll promise it
(From all my heart, why would I lie to you my friend)
The pain you made, the pressure you gave
I held it all, inside of me 'til I past
Now I shall salute you, the assassin of 2012
Are you clapping your hands together, that's what I assume
Tonight you'll suffer with the endless pain,
Dying while dreaming of my forgiveness,
So this time, I feel like I win
You should just left me on my own
And take those steps back before you told
That you can be trusted but seems like you don't
Tonight you'll suffer,
Of what pressure you made me go trough,
So this time, the revenge will be mine
And I'll give it all back to you
Tonight you'll suffer,
Of what pressure you made me go trough,
Here is my
Small black box
Filled with hurt
Sent by you
Here is my
Small black book
Filled with lies
Told by you
Here is my
small black house
Filled with fear
Thanks to you
Here is my
Small black heart
Filled with shame
Left by you
See I
See I Don't know
And I don't feel the pressure
And I don't feel the pressure
Here is my
Small black doubt
Filled by tears
Cried for you
here is my
Small black wish
Filled by dreams
Lost by you
See I
See I Don't know
And I don't feel the pressure
Sooner or later baby
I'm gonna squeeze you just like a tomato
Sonner or later baby
I'll probably peel you like some old potato
Just give me some pleasure
It's my life
Sooner or later baby
I'm gonna bleed you
Sooner or later baby
You're gonna feel something for me
Just give me some pleasure
It's my life
I gotta do that
I gotta do that
Just give me some pleasure
It's my life
Just give me pleasure
I got no wife
Just give me pleasure
I got no wife
It's my pleasure
I got no wife
It's my pleasure
That's what I'm living for
I gotta do that
I gotta do that
Pleasure
Pleasure
Give me some pleasure please
Pleasure
Give me some pleasure please
I'm gonna squeeze you like tomato
I'm gonna peel you like a what?
LIke a potato
It's my life
It's just my life
It's just my life
[Hook]
Yeah we see you buss a bottle at your little table stunting
and we coming by the bar and get to fucking up your fronting
Putting pressure on 'em
We puttin' pressure on 'em
We puttin' pressure on 'em
We puttin' pressure on 'em
Okay we see you in your Phantom acting cocky with your mrs
Yeah you ballin', til you see us pull up with 9 of them bitches
Puttin pressure on 'em
We puttin' pressure on 'em
We puttin' pressure on 'em
We puttin' pressure on 'em
[Busta Rhymes - Verse 1]
Eh, eh-yo, when we do this shit
Now tell me why is you competing
When I be that type of nigga that get money when I'm sleeping
And when I'm farting and shittin' I cop countries on the weekends
So ambitious my accountants got continence when I'm eating for me
Bussa buss the most diamonds and start retreating and beat the street up
Shit be sounding remarkable when I'm speaking homie
Huge rechargable batteries, bitch I'm tweaking
Short circuit electric chair voltage is every feature?
Like I'm short for breath drowning in money rushes
Fuck a blunt bitch I'm inhaling muffle, smoke from buses?
I defend my money like soldiers, I come to punish
Defence mechanisms from infections the way that puss is
Aint no fucking around, I'm frontin, get it
As for getting this bread, I'm like vomit so disgusting with it
Here's my other alias, don't forget it
Call me snow blower, blowing this bread like it's nothing with it
[Hook]
[Lil Wayne]
Weezy F baby man, I gotta put the pressure on 'em
Young Money the special team, we so Devin Hestor on 'em
Right up on your girl lips, got my dick resting on 'em
Soon as it woke up, it came and left it on 'em
Swag with no effort on him
Quicker than a leopard on 'em
If he got beef watch me sprinkle salt and pepper on 'em
No spinderella, just plenty metal for any fellow
Semi settle everything for me and everything for me
Smoking on that G13 and everything funny
Especially y'all bitch ass niggas, kiss ass niggas
Blood gang, 6 flags nigga, no rollercoaster
Real shit, we hold the bread, the hoes hold the toasters
Young Casanova, I bend they asses over
She say my dick stronger than a six pack of cola
Man I'm so fly, I got arachnophobia
Pressure bust pipes but Weezy bust twice
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
One, two, three, four
Roc-A-Fella, 1st AND!!
Jay... Lupe!
Yeah, uhh
And so it seems that I'm, sewin jeans
And, 1st and 15 is just a sewin machine
So I, cut the pattern and I, sew in seams
And, button in this hustlin then publically I'm Buddy Lee
There's no bustin them and cuffin them is like
usherin in the regime, they want me to make Prince pants
But I withstand, I ain't gotten into that
A little big in the waist, two-pocket on the back
Call them Nu-vi's, O.G.'s covered in blue dye
Give 'em the game, that's like givin chocolate to the fat
Look, how you think I got here?
That's the same game that came through where I lived as a kid
in the bad luck truck and threw boxes off the back
Made me a ripper, deliver like river
Content a little more thicker, slicker
Yeah, and they said oil and water don't mix
Now they all down at the beach washin off the fish
Was Blackbeard 'til I brought the Roc into your ships
YEAH!
It's my life, my life - everything I dooo I dooooo for you
I do it all for you - everything I say you knowwww it's the truth
I'll say it is the truth - I'll take all the pressure offff of you
Take pressure off of you; I'll take, the pressure off of you
YEAH!
Uhh, it's hella proper (proper)
Cause it sag so low you can see boxer, like a boxer's
That's the way that the Family's pants worn
Then we slide, and try and put 'em on
The stones in the pocket'll drag you down to Davy Jones locker
Beware if you wanna Roc the Knickerbocker
Other nigga from the block what, they was sellin O's
like Wheel of Fortune, of imported cocaine
just to feel important, it was +Do or Die+
They was tired of bein "Po' Pimps," now for sure
That was just a product of my common sense
I guess, I was just guessin like the consonants
Momma said beware of what the devil do
Tell 'em that your soul's not for sale like the W's
So go ahead and pirate, the highest
cannons make you leak like pirated my shhh..
It's no shhh.. it's just shhh like quiet
And big homey's out of retirement
Uhh, Young, uhh
So the pen is mightier than the sword my lord
My first picture was a line-up, now I'm on the Forbes
And I still remain the artiste through thees all
If you force my hand I'll be forced to "draw"
If the war calls for war halls
Hope you got enough space on your hall's walls
I make niggaz murals, then escape the bureau's
investigation, out in Europe on vacation
I'm back for these puppies with the pound boy
(Blaow) Here's a round boy (blaow blaow) down boy
Sound boy, you don't wanna soundclash loud noise
leave niggaz paranoid if not paralyzed
Which means you can't walk in my shoes
Too much green you can't talk in my hue
Extend the team, nigga holla at Lu'
(Chorus)
You can see me on the top you can see when we drop
You can meet me on the block, we'll stop and talk
We do not get thrown we don't stop
Whether or not we up on top, we still rock
You can see me back on top you can see me when we stop
You can feel it when we rock, we got shit locked
We do not get cold we feel hot whether or not we up on top, we still rock
Madchild:
I'm a stun gun, pills 'til my tongues numb
I stay home don't ask where I come from
Conquer from beneath I sparkle when I speak
This bug me on the in the inside fuck it I'm a geek
A lovely individual hug me because I'm miserable
This wizardry is dismal drugs make me invisible
I've risen from my physical frame you can't touch me
Top boy that rock but it still got ugly
Prevail:
Dusty the country roads take me home to the place that I belong
Lost skeleton bones, locked in the closet deep family secrets
Discover this recovery my brothers in sequence
Ever had to dance with the devil in pale moonlight
Snakes in the grass but the scales don't move right
Fight when you need to bite when you have to
Run no never stand ground then we smash
(Chorus)
Prevail:
Virtuoso piano solo play Mozart
Vocabulary colorful like feathers of a peacock
Operating theatre put your head upon a butchers block
Rise from my own grave eyes nuclear holocaust
Astronauts t-minus arc of the covenant
My part spreading sick art that starts on this continent
Confidence ensures there's no formidable adversaries
A savage land and a band of terrible mercenaries
Program your lives like the wives of Stepford
Voice remains immortal and survives on record
Hannibal Lecter pour myself a glass of Chianti
This is my Divine Comedy the finest since Dante
Cape scrapes the floor dark prince the Impaler
The order of the dragon Prevail no failure
Slain all the vain overcame with my sabre
Maintain and let the blood reign explain my behavior
(Chorus)
Madchild:
It goes: cracked halo horns on my helmet
Little doll crawl in cherry red velvet
Burning Man in the house of charm
Chemical to the mouth but not to the arm
My tastes spinning out of control
Your face two eyes with a whole
Suicide watch, king of the strippers
Glorified hookers smash your glass slippers
Nothing can tempt me, everyone empty
I get high on the road when they let me
Trade craftwork off exotic substance
Some want to carve out my heart still love this
I'm trying to hurt myself, still smoking
But I'm a afraid of blood won't cut my wrist open
Told you that I loved you, I was just joking
You can't hurt my heart it's been broken
As the pressure grows
and these feelings flow
Trample on bodies,
bodies in holes of faith
Times I've asked the lord
for forgiveness
while kept under a spell
of a sweating locust's breath
No need to tell me
'cos its written on your face
Sliding down now
with the black lights shining
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me
Black as the night is day filled with no sympathy
Marching down the hall for a misery
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me
You won't get away from me X2
Get away from me
You won't get away from me
Mouth tastes of sick
my stomach twisting inside
Everything's wrong
and I can't get away
The gravity of fear
you can feel it coming near
It's coming straight for you,
it'll twist and drag you down
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me
Black as the night is day filled with no sympathy
Marching down the hall for a misery
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me
You won't get away from me X2
Get away from me
I just need this to be all right
I can't feel this another night
I can't take this I come unglued
I just need this to be alright
I can't feel this another night
I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure
If you need me I'll be here
Half unconscious to escape my fear
I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure
My head hurts this shit isn't getting me high
My chest is so tight am I going to die
My stomach's in knots and the room starts to spin
As I wait for this valium to slowly kick in
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure
Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again
'Cause I fear I might break
And I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Now that I'm losing hope
And there's nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Without you
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
i can't see in front of me i feel blind to my sentence
my assumed autonomy is all steeped in dependence
i'm breaking inside
i watch time delimiting but i don't see the answers
i know gain's diminishing but i'm wasting my chances
i'm breaking inside
my head's above the water but i just can't fight the tide
till the pressure subsides
all you see reflects on me
how can it be forever
all i do reflects on you
now do you feel the pressure
with all things permissible i can't stem the pollution
and no hand invisible can assure resolution
i'm breaking inside
my head cries out for stillness but i just can't find the time
till the pressure subsides
all you see reflects on me
how can it be forever
all i do reflects on you
now do you feel the pressure
all i know will come and go
you can't have it all together
all you ask will come to pass
now do you feel the pressure
i'm breaking inside
my head's above the water but i just can't fight the tide
till the pressure subsides
all you see reflects on me
how can it be forever
all i do reflects on you
now do you feel the pressure
all i know will come and go
you can't have it all together
all you ask will come to pass
Dont try to make me make mistakes
I won't forget
I don't need you to tell me
What i need to do
Just give it time, you'll see that I, I have a mind
And it's made up
And it's made up
I wanna be friends with you
Gonna do what i have to do
Cause its right, ya its right, thats all right
Don't pressure me
Dont push me too far
I wanna do right with all my heart
Don't pressure me
What about your self-respect?
Im not like that
Im not like that
Dont have to prove
Nothing to you
There's no excuse
I've got a faith you
Need to take a second look
My friend, you need to understand
I have a mind
And I'ts made up
And I'ts made up
I wanna be friends with you
Gonna do what i have to do
Cause its right, ya its right, thats all right
Don't pressure me
Dont push me too far
I wanna do right with all my heart
Don't pressure me
What about your self-respect?
Im not like that
Im not like that
Don't have any doubt
What my life's about
I'm gonna show you
This is not my way
You can't take that away
Don't even try to
Don't pressure me
Dont push me too far
I wanna do right with all my heart
Don't pressure me
What about your self-respect?
Im not like that
Im not like that
[girl singing]
What do we do
Ooooooh - what do we do, what do we do
Pressure, pressure - what do we do to do
[Sheek Louch]
Let's go
They say they want me to chill
How you rappin is like you sayin to go out and kill
I hear so much of this nonsense
Like brother you a role model, you supposed to rap like you concious
(For what?) Even if that was true, understand
I'm a man before anything, rap is what I do
And I'm somebody's father
Like if my baby boy in a jam I won't grab the revolver
Sometimes not even that
I ain't sittin around talkin 'bout slavery is holdin me back
Out East you would think this the Western
I don't mean to be rude, but you can chill with all those silly suggestions
When the pressure is on, your morals is gone
Can't believe your face is torn (oh!)
I don't condone it, but I'm willin to loan it
Just relax, go home, hit me up on the horn, got you
[Chorus: girl singing]
For this life... piece of mind
The streets are filled with priiiide
Too young to die, so the bullets fly
The streets are filled with priiiide - pressure, pressure
[Sheek Louch]
I know she tryin to be cool for her friends
I know he tryin to front for her in the Benz (yeah)
But he ain't watchin where he drivin and drunk (uh-uh)
Hit somebody whip and dude talkin 'bout poppin the trunk
But can't go out like a punk (nah)
Shots go off, and his friends no longer think that he's soft (brrap)
Now it's time for the bail
And momma got a slight heart problem cause her son is in jail (damn)
And no one's keepin it real (uh-uh)
The lawyers is riffin, block phone calls, messages skippin
And shorty don't even visit
She too busy in the mall with your re-up money, tryin to live it
When he come out shit he flipped
Cause his son is in the backseat with some other nigga pushin his whip
(That's my son) This kind of pressure for real
Got at least like 6 out of 10 blacks sittin in jail, damn
[Chorus]
[Sheek Louch]
This brother comin from work (yeah)
9 to 5, minimum wage, his boss is a jerk
He can't stand bein broke (uh-uh)
He get off the bus to get him a beer and somethin to smoke
He think about gettin coke
His family is hungry, it's dead real, no longer a joke
But he ain't made for the streets
This ain't back then, these lil' dudes now carryin heat
Think he can pump where he want, it's the first of the month
Makin mad sales right in the front (what?)
Duke and them gettin mad (yo whattup?) things startin to get bad
'Bout to follow homey home to his pad (him right there)
But he can't let that ride
He pull out the thing and tell his baby momma go in and hide
(Get the baby in the house) So many put on a stretcher
I'm willin to bet'cha, it's the pressure, c'mon
[Chorus]
[girl singing]
(A. Moore, K. Jones)
Fear is the curse and today's word is PRESSURE
Too long to count the worry and the strife
Speed Racer, Takin' in that PRESSURE
PRESSURE is the fear, PRESSURE is the tear
Twist that torcher, torch that PRESSURE
Burnin', verbal arm twisting, PRESSURE ear pinching
No remorse, no glory
I sit in the jail cell and I think about that PRESSURE
Thrive no jive, on this mess y'all
Female sittin' on my face, no Lord!
PRESSURE me, huh but nonetheless
This PRESSURE mess, PRESSURE mess is the best
PRESSURE
Is runnin', Runnin' out of time
Boy u better git your ass home quick
You shorly lie when you get high
On that PRESSURE, PRESSURE kick
PRESSURE!?
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE when I sit down!
PRESSURE when I git up!
When I sleep at night
Nightmares make me fight PRESSURE
PRESSURE whin uhm vexed
PRESSURE whin I c mie x
Prayin' 4 a breather, but whenz it comin' next?
Oh this world, oh this PRESSURE!
PRESSURE hardened on me there's no help yeh!
It's the pear, It's the fear...PRESSURE!
Cheatin' out the fat man!
PRESSURE joke's only for the PRESSURE folks...
Fat man, livin' in a skinny land
PRESSURE is runnin'
Runnin' out of time
Boy u better git your asshole stitched (a fabricated cover-up)
You surely lie when you get high on this
PRESSURE! PRESSURE kick!
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE!
When your hair's turnin' gray
PRESSURE tellin' you to take the gray away
Its' the fear of physical processes
It's the tear of scalp diggin' hair transplant bloodmesses
Rising up
Tearing down
What you are
Threatening
Never seen
All around
Every face
Every eye
Watching you
Weakening
Grip of pain
Won't let go
All that you see
All that you hear
All that you feel
All that you fear
Pressure [x6]
Paranoid
Self destroyed
Sickened mind
Burning up
Torn to shreds
From inside
Desperate
Cannot stand
The distress
Helpless
Hopeless
Lifeless
All that you see
All that you hear
All that you feel
All that you fear
By Father Burkhart
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"

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

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

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
Pressure mean torture, torture is burning
Verbal arm twisting, pressure ear pinchin
No fear no don't shed no tear
Just pack up and go on

(Enuff)
Look! Your baldhead a go turning grey
Pressure say so:
Take the grey away
Pressure!
The fear of a physical process
It's the fear of a bloodclaat bloodmess!

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

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
Where was your history?
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
Got the rhythms the dub plat killa tracks
Annihilate and destroy them we do that
Letting them know that ah we come fe

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
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
I'm alone but it's all right, cause you're not the one left alone

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
Let The Pressure, Let The Pressure Get You Better
Keep A, Measure, Measure On Your Pressure
Better Check The Pressure, Watch Out For The Pressure!
Take A Little Walk Outside
To See You Now
Pressure Let It All Slip Away
Chorus
Working Nine To Five She Was A Dancer
She's Got It In Her Mind
She Has The Answer Now
Oh That She's Always A Show
To Make Your Breathe Go Faster
Working Nine To Five She Was A Dancer
She's Got It In Her Mind
She Has The Answer Now
Oh That She's Always A Show
To Make Your Breathe Go Faster
Pressure, Pressure, Step Into The Pressure Zone
Let The Pressure, Let The Pressure Get You Better
Keep A, Measure, Measure On The Pressure
Better Check Your Pressure, Watch Out For The Pressure!
Chorus
Working Nine To Five She Was A Dancer
She's Got It In Her Mind
She Has The Answer Now
Oh That She's Always A Show
To Make Your Breathe Go Faster
Working Nine To Five She Was A Dancer
She's Got It In Her Mind
She Has The Answer Now
Oh That She's Always A Show
To Make Your Breathe Go Faster
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
