Rémi Du Chemin - Pressure Point Lyrics

[Intro]
Sirens in my head, they never fade
Dignity intact while the system decays
Papa stood there, straight back, unafraid
Teaching me strength in a hundred ways

[Verse 1]
Hands against the wall, but your spirit's still tall
Watching from the side, my heart starts to fall
They pat him down while he keeps his crown
Grandma's stories echo how we hold our ground
Got that fire in my blood, passed down through time
From the streets of Algiers to these cold city lines
They try to break us but we bend like steel
This ain't submission, it's how warriors kneel

[Chorus]
Keep your composure when they try to break you
Stay calculated when they try to shake you
This ain't weakness, this is power moves
Silent resistance got these devils confused
Yeah, we keep our cool while the pressure's rising
Standing tall while the tension's climbing

[Verse 2]
They want us to crack, show emotion, react
But we learned to fight back without falling back
Every breath controlled is a middle finger raised
Every steady gaze got these oppressors dazed
Grandma taught me how to fight with grace
Papa showed me power in an unmoved face
System wants chaos, but we give them peace
Our strength in silence makes their power cease

[Bridge]
Glass breaking in the distance
Radios crackling with their instance
Of control, but they don't know
Our souls are made of stronger stuff though

[Outro]
Keep your head high, let them wonder why
We stay composed while their systems die
This ain't submission, this is how we fight
Silent resistance burning through the night
