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 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 ❓
A flaw or a crack 😣, the straw in the stack 🐪
That breaks the camel’s back 🐫💔, what breaks the camel’s back?
It’s 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 😞
Under the surface 🌊, I hide my nerves 😰 and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us ⚠️
Under the surface 🌊, the ship doesn’t swerve 🚢 as 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 🔄
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
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 😌
