Stereo MC's – Pressure lyrics

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 you let yourself go grey?
You need a battery
'Cause every moment counts as the watchdog wants 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 blinding me
So just remember, don't believe all you see
Things ain't always how they meant to be
Some come as villain, dressed as virtue
But all they really wanna do is hurt you and that's reality
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 gotta keep it up, keep it up, keep up the pressure
We gonna keep it up, keep it up, keep up the pressure

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
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 moving, you could be still
As long as it's of your own free will
Don't be a target, see
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
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
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 gotta keep it up, keep it up, keep up the pressure
We 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
I'm gonna keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
I'm gotta keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
I'm gotta keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
I'm gotta keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
I'm gotta 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'm gotta keep it up, keep it up, keep up the pressure, keep it up
I'm gotta keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
