Jessica Darrow | I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous
I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is
I move mountains, I move churches
And I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is

Jessica Darrow | I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous
I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is
I move mountains, I move churches
And I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is
I don't ask how hard the work is
Got a rough, indestructible surface
Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em
I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but
[Verse 1]
Under the surface
I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
Under the surface
Was Hercules ever like, "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?"
Under the surface
I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service
[Pre-Chorus]
A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack
That breaks the camel's back
What breaks the camel's back, it's
[Chorus]
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister, your sister's older
Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
If I fall to
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger
See if she can hang on a little longer
Who am I if I can't carry it all?
If I falter
[Verse 2]
Under the surface
I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry somethin' is gonna hurt us
Under the surface
The ship doesn't swerve, has it heard how big the iceberg is?
Under the surface
I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?
Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows
You try to stop it tumbling, but on and on it goes
[Bridge]
But wait, if I could shake the crushing weight of expectations
Would that free some room up for joy
Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?
Instead, we measure this growing pressure
Keeps growing, keep going, 'cause all we know is
[Chorus]
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and
See if she can handle every family burden
Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks
No mistakes, just
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister and never wonder
If the same pressure would've pulled you under
Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
No cracks, no breaks
No mistakes, no pressure
Ndine wamphamvu wamphamvu, sindimachita mantha
Ndine wolimba ngati kutumphuka kwa dziko lapansi kuli
Ndimasuntha mapiri, ndimasuntha mipingo
Ndipo ndimawala, chifukwa ndikudziwa tanthauzo langa
Sindikufunsa kuti ntchitoyo ndi
Ali ndi mawonekedwe oyipa, osasinthika
Ma diamondi ndi platinamu, ndimapeza, ndimafuula 'em
Ndimatenga zomwe ndapereka, ndimaphwanya zomwe zakhumudwitsidwa, koma
[Vesi 1]
Pansi pa pansi
Ndikumva berserk ngati choyendetsa ndege mu liwiro la malita atatu
Pansi pa pansi
Kodi ma Hercules analibe ngati, "yo, sindikufuna kumenya nkhondo cerurus?"
Pansi pa pansi
Ndikutsimikiza kuti ndine wopanda pake ngati sindingathe
[Pre-anos]
Cholakwika kapena kuswa, udzu mu stack
Zomwe zimaphwanya ngamila
Zomwe zimaphwanya ngamila, ndi
[KOLOS]
Kupanikizika ngati dontho, kugwa, kutsika komwe sikungayime, Whoa
Kupanikizika komwe kungafune, nsonga, nsonga 'mumangopita, ndani-oh-oh
Apatseni mlongo wanu, wamkulu wa mlongo wanu
Mpatseni zinthu zonse zomwe sitingathe
Ndine ndani ngati sindingathe kuthamanga ndi mpira?
Ngati ndigwera
Kukakamizidwa ngati kugwidwa, kugwira, kugwirira, ndipo sikungalole, kuti ndani
Kukakamizidwa ngati nkhupakupa, Mafunso, Mafunso 'Tiri okonzeka kuwomba, ndani-oh-oh
Apatseni mlongo wanu, amphamvu a mlongo wanu
Onani ngati angakhalire pang'ono
Ndine ndani ngati sindingathe kunyamula zonse?
Ngati ndikanatha
[Vesi 2]
Pansi pa pansi
Ndimabisira mitsempha yanga ndipo imawakula, ndimakhala ndi nkhawa wina '
Pansi pa pansi
Sitimayo sinasowetse, kodi yamva kukula kwa madzi oundana?
Pansi pa pansi
Ndikuganiza za cholinga changa, nditha kusunga izi?
Lembani mabwinja, mphepo yowala imawomba
Mumayesa kuyimitsa, koma pitilizani
[Mlatho]
Koma dikirani, ngati ndikadatha kugwedeza kulemera koopsa
Zingakhale zomasuka kuchisangalalo
Kapena kupumula, kapena kusangalatsa kosavuta?
M'malo mwake, timayeza kupsinjika kumeneku
Amapitilizabe kukula, pitilizani, chifukwa zomwe tikudziwa ndi
[KOLOS]
Kupanikizika ngati dontho, kugwa, kutsika komwe sikungayime, Whoa
Kupanikizika komwe kungafune, nsonga, nsonga 'mumangopita, ndani-oh-oh
Apatseni mlongo wanu, sizipweteka komanso
Onani ngati angathe kuthana ndi banja lililonse
Penyani pamene amabisala ndikugwada koma osasweka
Palibe zolakwitsa, basi
Kukakamizidwa ngati kugwidwa, kugwira, kugwirira, ndipo sikungalole, kuti ndani
Kukakamizidwa ngati nkhupakupa, Mafunso, Mafunso 'Tiri okonzeka kuwomba, ndani-oh-oh
Perekani kwa mlongo wanu ndipo osadabwa
Ngati zomwezo zikadakukopani
Ndine ndani ngati ndilibe zomwe zimafunika?
Palibe ming'alu, palibe osweka
Palibe zolakwitsa, palibe zofuna
