Under Pressure
DJ Maj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

9am in the morning just getting to work
10am in the morning co-workers starting to flirt
She said I know you're not happy
Wife aint making you happy
If you wanna I can show you're a really good time tonight
Should I

A - ignore what she's saying
B - partake in what she's planning
C - reflect the truth that I'm striving to be wanting to be dying to be
D - add some fuel to the fire
E - dive into her desire

Another day in the life of a person like me and you ooh ooh oooh

Chorus

Living it up under pressure
Giving it all the game called life
Gotta be true to the letter
Cause if I want to receive
Giving love is the key

Verse 2

Johnny's got a family to feed
How can he supply all their needs
The job he has doesn't pay enough
Things have gotten a little rough now he's
Had to get another job his children won't ever see their pops
Now he's out there struggling at the corner
Store out there hustling should he

Keep on doing what he's doing
A new job he's pursuing
Be the man he's created to be his family needs him around
Hit is knees and start praying
Please hear what I'm saying

Another day in the life of a person like me and you ooh ooh oooh

Chorus

Rap

He did it legitimate with no concocting
Family man with 2 seeds and stock option and options
Past what the mind can grasp occupation's task
Giving what ever he's asking she
Presents the offer but he simply declines it
Naivete? Or real man with grand plan
Revelation of the 7th command and pierced hands
Contrary to the popular stands of lets dance
He plans to raise a generation of babies on
Morals of grand momma and boogie to steve wonder
Cause God blessed the child with soul claps and thunder
Escape from every plunder when pressure is what we're under

Chorus





Living under pressure got to give it to
This game called life (repeat 3x)
