"Under Pressure" lyrics

"Under Pressure"

Police pull up around two o clock and they shining that white light inside my crib
What they doing?
I told em don't start no confusion
It's a crooked institution
You won't say how you doing black man?
How do you stand?
With all of that trauma inside of your head?
How they do that black man?
How do they stand?
With all of that trauma and blood on they hands?

How they do it?
I just wanna ask how they do it?
How they sleep at night man?
How they do it?
They won't ever ask how ya doing?
Cause this world right now is

Under pressure
I done prayed so much that God's tired of me
Under pressure
I got carpet burns on both of my knees
Under pressure
How this check supposed to cover my bills?
Under pressure
F your therapist ain't got time to heal

If you can't take the heat then get your ass out the kitchen
Petitions they say that we bitchin
If you can't take the heat then get your ass out the kitchen
Protesting they ain't learned they lesson

How you doing?
How you doing black man?
Let me ask how ya doing?
Oooo how ya doing?

When's the last time you talked to somebody
When's the last time you cried to somebody
When's the last time you talked to somebody
When's the last time you cried to somebody

Yeah under the pressure
