Pressure
The Stereo Mc's Lyrics

If you don't know what to say then keep your mouth shut, out the way
If you don't have anything useful to say, don't bother speaking

You'll get no flattery
There's no need to get complimented for saying nothing

If you know the time of day Then why you let yourself go grey?
If you understand the value of time, why aren't you taking care of yourself?

You need a battery
You need energy to keep going

'Cause every moment counts as the watchdog wants to pounce But he ain't smart as me
Every moment is important to seize as someone is always watching, even if that person isn't necessarily an expert

With the bible on his lips and a pistol on each hip But he ain't blinding me
Even if someone appears to be powerful, they can't control or influence my actions

So just remember, don't believe all you see Things ain't always how they meant to be
Not everything that appears to be true actually is

Some come as villain, dressed as virtue But all they really wanna do is hurt you and that's reality
Some people pretend to be good but actually want to harm others

We gotta keep it up, keep it up, keep up the pressure We gonna keep it up, keep it up, keep up the pressure
We need to keep going and maintain momentum to achieve our goals

So when it feels like I slip "n" slide, I treat each day as a brand new ride and let it all come down on me
Even when things get tough, I keep moving forward and embrace the challenges

You could be north, you could be east You could be beauty, you could be beast It don't mean a thing to me
It doesn't matter who or what you are, I won't judge you

You could be moving, you could be still As long as it's of your own free will Don't be a target, see
Do what you want, but don't let anyone make you a victim

We'll save our souls, saints preserve us Hold on tight now and don't get nervous Bring it on quick before the light fade Dearly beloved comin' out of the shade
We need to act quickly to achieve our goals before it's too late

First you act like you don't know me and all you seem to care about is money And every day it seems to get harder I don't know how we're gonna reach our father
People sometimes pretend not to know you and only focus on their own interests, making it difficult to achieve our objectives

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
I won't let anyone else dictate my actions, even if they have power over me

I'm gonna keep it up, keep it up, keep up the pressure, keep it up I'm gotta keep it up, keep it up, keep up the pressure, keep it up
I will continue to work hard and stay motivated to achieve my goals
