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
Mwen se yon sèl la fò, mwen pa nève
Mwen difisil tankou kwout tè a se
Mwen deplase mòn, mwen deplase legliz yo
Apre sa, mwen lumineux, paske mwen konnen ki sa vo mwen an se
Mwen pa mande ki jan difisil travay la se
Te resevwa yon sifas ki graj, endèstruktibl
Diamonds ak Platinum, mwen jwenn yo, mwen plati 'em
Mwen pran sa mwen remèt, mwen kraze sa ki mande, men
[Vèsè 1]
Anba sifas la
Mwen santi mwen berserk kòm yon tightrope Walker nan yon sirk twa-bag
Anba sifas la
Èske Hercules te janm renmen, "Yo, mwen pa vle goumen Cerberus?"
Anba sifas la
Mwen trè asire w mwen san valè si mwen pa ka nan sèvis yo
[Pre-koral]
Yon defo oswa yon krak, pay la nan chemine a
Ki kraze chamo a tounen
Ki sa ki kraze chamo a tounen, li la
[Koral]
Presyon tankou yon degoute, degoute, degoute ki pap janm sispann, whoa
Presyon ki pral pwent, pwent, pwent 'jouk ou jis ale pòp, whoa-oh-oh
Bay li bay sè ou, pi gran sè ou la
Ba li tout bagay lou nou pa ka zepòl
Kiyès mwen ye si mwen pa ka kouri ak boul la?
Si mwen tonbe
Presyon tankou yon priz, priz, priz, epi li pa pral kite ale, whoa
Presyon tankou yon tik, tik, tik 'til li a pare yo kònen, whoa-oh-oh
Bay sè ou, sè ou pi fò
Gade si li ka kwoke sou yon ti tan ankò
Kiyès mwen ye si mwen pa ka pote tout bagay sa yo?
Si mwen ezitasyon
[Vèsè 2]
Anba sifas la
Mwen kache nè mwen yo ak li vin pi mal, mwen enkyete yon bagay 'pral fè nou mal
Anba sifas la
Bato a pa vire, li te tande ki jan gwo iceberg a se?
Anba sifas la
Mwen panse osijè objektif mwen, èske mwen ka yon jan kanmenm prezève sa a?
Liy moute domino yo, yon van limyè soufle
Ou eseye sispann li woule, men sou yo ak sou li ale
[Bridge]
Men, tann, si mwen te kapab souke pwa a kraze nan ap atann
Ta ki gratis kèk chanm moute pou kè kontan
Oswa detant, oswa plezi senp?
Olye de sa, nou mezire presyon k ap grandi sa a
Kontinye ap grandi, kontinye, 'lakòz tout sa nou konnen se
[Koral]
Presyon tankou yon degoute, degoute, degoute ki pap janm sispann, whoa
Presyon ki pral pwent, pwent, pwent 'jouk ou jis ale pòp, whoa-oh-oh
Bay li bay sè ou, li pa fè mal ak
Gade si li ka okipe tout chay fanmi an
Gade jan li bouk ak viraj men pa janm kraze
Pa gen erè, jis
Presyon tankou yon priz, priz, priz, epi li pa pral kite ale, whoa
Presyon tankou yon tik, tik, tik 'til li a pare yo kònen, whoa-oh-oh
Bay li bay sè ou epi pa janm sezi
Si menm presyon an ta rale ou anba
Kiyès mwen ye si mwen pa gen sa li pran?
Pa gen fant, pa gen okenn repo
Pa gen erè, pa gen okenn presyon
