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
Ndi umunyembaraga, ntabwo ndi ubwoba
Ndi ukomeye kuko igikonko cyisi ari
Nimuye imisozi, mva mu matorero
Kandi ndamurika, 'kuberako nzi agaciro kanjye
Ntabwo mbajije uburyo akazi katoroshye
Yabonye ubuso bubi, butavogerwa
Diyama na platine, ndabona 'em, ndabihindura' em
Mfata ibyo mbataba, ndavuna ibyo dusabwa, ariko
[Umurongo wa 1]
Munsi yubuso
Ndumva berserk nkumukinnyi wimurika muri sirusi eshatu
Munsi yubuso
Herkeles yakunze gukunda, "yo, sinshaka kurwana na cerberusi?"
Munsi yubuso
Nzi neza ko nta gaciro mfite niba ntashobora kuba umuyobozi
[Pre-chorus]
Inenge cyangwa igikoma, ibyatsi mu gikari
Ibyo bimena ingoma
Niki cyavumbuye ingamiya inyuma, ni
[CHORUS]
Igitutu nkigitonyanga, gitonyanga, gitonyanga ntizigera gihagarara, ninde
Igitutu kirimo inama, inama, inama 'til uragenda gusa pop, ninde-oh-oh
Tanga mushiki wawe, mushiki wawe mukuru
Umuhe ibintu byose biremereye tudashobora guceceka
Ninde ndi niba ntashobora kwiruka n'umupira?
Niba nguye
Igitutu nkimboga, fata, ufate, kandi ntizareka, ninde
Igitutu nka tike, tike, tick 'til biteguye guhuha, ninde-oh-oh
Tanga mushiki wawe, mushiki wawe akomeye
Reba niba ashobora kumanika igihe gito
Ninde ndi niba ntashobora kuyitwara byose?
Niba nhindagurika
[Umurongo wa 2]
Munsi yubuso
Mpahisha imitekerereze yanjye kandi birakomeye, ndahangayikishijwe na sonthin 'bizatubabaza
Munsi yubuso
Ubwato ntibushukana, bwumvise uko ice ice ari nini?
Munsi yubuso
Ntekereza ku ntego yanjye, nshobora kubungabunga ibi?
Shyiramo domino, umuyaga woroshye uhuha
Uragerageza guhagarika kwinuba, ariko kuri no kuri iragenda
[Ikiraro]
Ariko tegereza, niba nshobora kunyereza uburemere bwo guhonyora
Yaba kubuntu icyumba runaka kugirango umunezero
Cyangwa kwidagadura, cyangwa umunezero woroshye?
Ahubwo, dupima iki gikapu gishimishije
Komeza kwiyongera, komeza, 'Impamvu Twese tuzi ni
[CHORUS]
Igitutu nkigitonyanga, gitonyanga, gitonyanga ntizigera gihagarara, ninde
Igitutu kirimo inama, inama, inama 'til uragenda gusa pop, ninde-oh-oh
Tanga mushiki wawe, ntabwo bibabaza kandi
Reba niba ashobora gukora imitwaro yose yumuryango
Reba uko akubita kandi akanatigera acika
Nta makosa, gusa
Igitutu nkimboga, fata, ufate, kandi ntizareka, ninde
Igitutu nka tike, tike, tick 'til biteguye guhuha, ninde-oh-oh
Tanga mushiki wawe kandi ntuzigere wibaza
Niba igitutu kimwe wakwegera munsi
Ndi nde niba ntafite icyo bisaba?
Nta bice, nta kiruhuko
Nta makosa, nta muvuduko
