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
Ini ndakasimba, handisi kutya
Ndinenge ndakaoma sezvo crust yepasi iri
Ini ndinofambisa makomo, ini ndinofambisa makereke
Uye ndinopenya, nekuti ndinoziva izvo kukosha kwangu
Ini handikumbire kuti zvakaoma sei basa
Ndine nzvimbo yakaoma, isingaenzaniswi
Madhaimani uye platinamu, ini ndinowana 'em, i flatten' em
Ini ndinotora izvo zvandinopihwa, ndinotyora izvo zvaunoda, asi
[Ndima 1]
Pasi pechiso
Ini ndinonzwa berserk semugadziri wechigaro mumhirizhonga matatu-mhete
Pasi pechiso
Harcules dzakamboda here, "yo, ini handidi kurwisa cerberus?"
Pasi pechiso
Ndine chokwadi chekuti ini handina basa kana ndisingakwanisi kuve webasa
[Pre-Pre-chorus]
Chikanganiso kana kupwanya, huswa mudumbu
Iyo inopwanya iyo ngamera
Chii chinoputsa kudzoka kwegamera, ndizvo
[Chorus]
Kudzvanywa senge kudonha, kudonha, kudonha izvo hazvizombomira, Whoa
Dzvinyiriro Ichabiridzira, Zano, TIP 'Til iwe unongoenda Pop, Whoa-oh-oh
Ipa kune hanzvadzi yako, mukuru wako mukuru
Umupe zvinhu zvese zvinorema zvatisingakwanise pfudzi
Ndiri ani kana ndisingakwanise kumhanya nebhora?
Kana ndikawira
Kudzvanywa senge kubatwa, kubata, kubata, uye hakuendere kuenda, whiya
Dzvinyiriro senge tick, tick, tick 'til yagadzirira kuputika, Whoa-oh-oh
Ipa kune hanzvadzi yako, hanzvadzi yako yakasimba
Ona kana achigona kurembera pane zvishoma
Ndiri ani kana ndisingakwanise kuzvitakura zvese?
Kana ndapera
[Ndima 2]
Pasi pechiso
Ini ndinovanza nerves yangu uye inowedzera, ndinonetseka neimwe nzira 'ichatirwadzisa
Pasi pechiso
Ngarava haina SWANDE, yakanzwa sei kukura kweiyo iceberg iri?
Pasi pechiso
Ini ndinofunga nezvechinangwa changu, ndinogona here kuchengeta izvi?
Tungamira masheya, mhepo ine mhepo inovhuvhuta
Iwe unoedza kumisa kuchidonha, asi zvichienderera uye zvichienda
[Bridge]
Asi mirira, kana ndikakwanisa kuzunza uremu hwekupwanya
Ingasunungura imwe kamuri yekufara
Kana kuzorora, kana nyore mafaro?
Pachinzvimbo, isu tinoyera kudzvinyirirwa uku kuri kukura
Anoramba achikura, ramba uchienda, nekuti zvese zvatinoziva ndezvekuti
[Chorus]
Kudzvanywa senge kudonha, kudonha, kudonha izvo hazvizombomira, Whoa
Dzvinyiriro Ichabiridzira, Zano, TIP 'Til iwe unongoenda Pop, Whoa-oh-oh
Ipa kune hanzvadzi yako, hazvikuvadze uye
Ona kana achigona kubata mutoro wese wemhuri
Tarisa sezvo iye anobata uye anokotama asi haambotombopunzika
Hapana kukanganisa, chete
Kudzvanywa senge kubatwa, kubata, kubata, uye hakuendere kuenda, whiya
Dzvinyiriro senge tick, tick, tick 'til yagadzirira kuputika, Whoa-oh-oh
Ipa iyo kune hanzvadzi yako uye usambonetseka
Kana iyo yekumanikidzwa kumwe chete ichakukwevera pasi
Ndiri ani kana ndisina zvazvinotora?
Hapana marara, hapana kupaza
Hapana kukanganisa, hapana kumanikidzwa
