Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you don't know what to say

Then keep your mouth, either way

You'll get no flattery

If you know the time of day

Then why'd you let yourself go gray?

You need a battery

[Verse 2]

'Cause every moment counts

As a watchdog waits to pounce

But he ain't smart as me

With a Bible on his lips

And a pistol on each hip

But he ain't blindin' me

[Verse 3]

So just remember, don't believe all you see

Things ain't always how they're meant to be

Some come as villains dressed as virtue

But all they really wanna do is hurt you

And that's reality

[Verse 4]

We gotta keep it up, keep it up

Keep up the pressure

We gotta keep it up, keep it up

Keep up the pressure

We gotta keep it up, keep it up

Keep up the pressure

We gotta keep it up, keep it up

Keep up the pressure

[Verse 5]

So when it feels like a sit 'n' slide

I treat each day as a brand new ride

Let it all come down on me

You could be north, you could be east

You could be beauty, you could be beast

That don't mean a thing to me

You could be movin', you could be still

As long as it's of your own free will

Don't be a target, seized

[Verse 6]

We'll save our souls, saints preserve us

Hold on tight now and don't get nervous

Bring it on quick before the lights fade

There live a lover, comin' out the shade

At first you act like you don't know me

When all you seem to care about it is money

And everyday, it seem to get harder

I don't now we're gonna reach that far

[Verse 7]

We gotta keep it up, keep it up

Keep up the pressure

We gotta keep it up, keep it up

Keep up the pressure

We gotta keep it up, keep it up

Keep up the pressure

We gonna keep it, keep it up

Keep up the pressure

[Verse 8]

Uh

Uh

Don't tell me what to do

Don't tell me how to live my life

I won't respond to you

You may have my rank, have my file

But I'll resist you like the Nile

Don't matter what you do

[Verse 9]

I'm gonna keep it, keep it up

Keep it up, keep it up

Gotta keep it, keep it up

Keep it up, keep it up

Gotta keep it, keep it up

Keep it up, keep it up

Gotta keep it, keep it up

Keep it up, keep it up

[Verse 10]

Gotta keep it, keep it up

Keep up the pressure

Keep it up, gotta keep it up

Keep it up, keep up the pressure

Keep it up, gotta keep it up

Keep it up, keep up the pressure

Keep it up, gotta keep it up

Keep it up, keep it up

Keep it up, keep it up
