Riddim Under Pressure

Lyrics

Verse 1
Step in the lane, man, cool and alert
Mud on my kicks, but the fit still work
Old phone buzz, but I leave it on mute
Too many eyes when the rumors shoot

Corner shop smell, jerk smoke in the air
Clip on my tongue, but I move like I care
Friends turn strange when the money get near
So I keep one ear low, one eye clear

Pre-Chorus
Whole road lean when I pass through
Them fake smiles don’t last through
Hear that echo when I step, too
Tell me who, tell me who, tell me who

Chorus
Hold tight, hold tight
We move all night
Pull up, pull up
Then the whole place bright

Call my name, call my name
Let it roll like rain
Hold tight, hold tight
We come back again (back again)

Verse 2
New jeans crisp, but the day still rough
Talk too sweet, I can smell that bluff
Chain swing low, but I stay composed
Got heat in my chest and a mouth full of jokes

Pots on the fire at the stall by the bend
Auntie say, “Baby, don’t trust that friend”
I laugh, say, “True,” then I fade out slow
Because the real ones know how the real ones go

Pre-Chorus
Whole road lean when I pass through
Them fake smiles don’t last through
Hear that echo when I step, too
Tell me who, tell me who, tell me who

Chorus
Hold tight, hold tight
We move all night
Pull up, pull up
Then the whole place bright

Call my name, call my name
Let it roll like rain
Hold tight, hold tight
We come back again (back again)

Bridge
Dub break
One wheel skids, then the room goes thin
Bassline bend while I slide back in
If you feel that wave, then you know the code
We don’t fold, we don’t fold, we don’t fold

Final Chorus
Hold tight, hold tight
We move all night
Pull up, pull up
Then the whole place bright

Call my name, call my name
Let it roll like rain
Hold tight, hold tight
We come back again (back again)
