Under Pressure

under pressure
am on a race 
am on a high speed 
on my line so fast 
more than any fastest
runner you know 
behind me are 
alot contesters
also on a fast 
speed 
all to catch up 
with me 
yet am ahead of 
them all so 
under pressure

under pressure 
am on a race
a race of all time 
a  race of the unbeatable
a race so deep 
so am on my best 
my speed they pursue
the pressure never end 
as long as the race is on 
behind me are 
the life hunters
also on a high speed
to catch up with me 
yet am ahead of 
them all so am 
under pressure

under pressure
am on a race 
I can never give 
up in this race
this race is for today 
this race might continue
tomorrow
this race holds a destiny
this race holds a future
this race holds a reality
yet to be a reality
this race is spiritual
yet manifest physical
so am strong on my 
ground 
I can never strip
cos behind are 
the originators of 
the pressure I bear 
they are also on 
a high speed 
just to catch up 
with my star 
yet am on my best still
under pressure 

under pressure 
am on a race
a race of the soul 
a race of justice 
a race of peace 
a race so divine
a race with a revelations
a race worth running
so now am above vanity 
in my mission
am about to hold the 
rope of God 
yet behind me 
are the axes of the 
devil 
they hold bitterness
they hold no good 
they are also on 
a high speed 
yet am ahead of 
the tracks still
under pressure
