Stereo MCs - 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'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 Keep up the pressure
