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
Mimi ndiye hodari, sina wasiwasi
Mimi ni mgumu kama ukoko wa dunia ni
Ninahamisha milima, mimi huhamisha makanisa
Na mimi huangaza, kwa sababu najua thamani yangu ni nini
Siulizi jinsi kazi ilivyo ngumu
Una uso mbaya, usioweza kuharibika
Almasi na platinamu, napata 'em, mimi ni laini' em
Nachukua kile nilichokabidhiwa, ninavunja kile kinachodaiwa, lakini
[Mstari wa 1]
Chini ya uso
Ninahisi berserk kama mtembezi wa tightrope kwenye circus ya pete tatu
Chini ya uso
Je! Hercules aliwahi kama, "Yo, sitaki kupigana na Cerberus?"
Chini ya uso
Nina hakika sina maana ikiwa siwezi kuwa wa huduma
[Pre-chorus]
Dosari au ufa, majani kwenye stack
Hiyo inavunja mgongo wa ngamia
Ni nini kinachovunja mgongo wa ngamia, ni
[Chorus]
Shinikizo kama matone, matone, matone ambayo hayataacha, whoa
Shinikizo ambalo litakua, ncha, ncha 'hadi uende pop, whoa-oh-oh
Mpe dada yako, mzee wa dada yako
Mpe vitu vyote vizito ambavyo hatuwezi bega
Mimi ni nani ikiwa siwezi kukimbia na mpira?
Ikiwa nitaanguka
Shinikizo kama mtego, mtego, mtego, na haitaacha, whoa
Shinikizo kama tick, tick, tick hadi iko tayari kupiga, whoa-oh-oh
Mpe dada yako, dada yako ana nguvu zaidi
Angalia ikiwa anaweza kunyongwa kwa muda mrefu zaidi
Mimi ni nani ikiwa siwezi kubeba yote?
Ikiwa nitapotea
[Mstari wa 2]
Chini ya uso
Ninaficha mishipa yangu na inazidi, nina wasiwasi somethin 'itatuumiza
Chini ya uso
Meli haina swerve, je! Imesikia jinsi barafu ni kubwa?
Chini ya uso
Nadhani juu ya kusudi langu, je! Ninaweza kuhifadhi hii kwa njia fulani?
Panga viboreshaji, upepo mkali unavuma
Unajaribu kuizuia kugongana, lakini juu na juu yake inakwenda
[Daraja]
Lakini subiri, ikiwa ningeweza kutikisa uzito wa kutarajia
Je! Hiyo ingefungulia nafasi ya furaha
Au kupumzika, au raha rahisi?
Badala yake, tunapima shinikizo hili linalokua
Anaendelea kukua, endelea, kwa sababu tunachojua ni
[Chorus]
Shinikizo kama matone, matone, matone ambayo hayataacha, whoa
Shinikizo ambalo litakua, ncha, ncha 'hadi uende pop, whoa-oh-oh
Mpe dada yako, hainaumiza na
Tazama ikiwa anaweza kushughulikia kila mzigo wa familia
Tazama wakati yeye hujifunga na kuinama lakini kamwe huvunja
Hakuna makosa, tu
Shinikizo kama mtego, mtego, mtego, na haitaacha, whoa
Shinikizo kama tick, tick, tick hadi iko tayari kupiga, whoa-oh-oh
Mpe dada yako na usishangae kamwe
Ikiwa shinikizo lile lile lingekuvuta chini
Mimi ni nani ikiwa sina nini inachukua?
Hakuna nyufa, hakuna mapumziko
Hakuna makosa, hakuna shinikizo
