Cassidy Dzoole - Pressure Lyrics

Doctor, lawyer, engineer
What you'll be for your career, oh girl
In the right direction, we will steer
All you have to do is adhere, oh girl
Baby girl
So put your dreams and wishes to the side
And give me a sense of pride
Who cares if your little spirit dies?
With the right occupation
You can take me on vacation
And save our family's reputation
My dear girl
Should I swim downstream?
Follow the current of my family
Have financial security
Live a life filled with misery
Should I follow my dream?
I just want to scream
I know you want what's best for me
But let me find my destiny
I'm begging you to set me free
Yeah
Get this pressure off of me!
Get good grades for scholarships
Scholarships for colleges, oh girl
Major in a STEM field
Think of all the profit you will yield, oh girl
Baby girl
So put your dreams and wishes to the side
And give me a sense of pride
Don't think about that missing gleam in your eye
You will honor our family name
And save us from shame
Unless you want us all to be defamed
My girl
Should I swim downstream?
Follow the current of my family
Have financial security
Live a life filled with misery
Should I follow my dream?
I just want to scream
I know you want what's best for me
But let me find my destiny
I'm begging you to set me free
Yeah
Get this pressure off of me!
Oh Lord
I have toiled tirelessly
Studying all night to achieve my parents' dreams
Oh Lord
Save me from this agony
Because in pleasing them I've lost sight of me
Oh Lord
What's the point in all this
If my own life I don't get to live
Oh Lord
I don't want to quit
I just want this pain to come to an end
What are my options?
Should I swim downstream?
Follow the current of my family
Have financial security
Live a life filled with misery
Should I follow my dream?
I just want to scream
I know you want what's best for me
But let me find my destiny
I'm begging you to set me free
Yeah
Get this pressure off of me!
Should I swim downstream?
Follow the current of my family
Have financial security
Live a life filled with misery
Should I follow my dream?
I just want to scream
I know you want what's best for me
But let me find my destiny
I'm begging you to set me free
Yeah
Get this pressure off of me!
Should I swim downstream?
Follow the current of my family
Have financial security
Live a life filled with misery
Should I follow my dream?
I just want to scream
I know you want what's best for me
But let me find my destiny
I'm begging you to set me free
Yeah
Get this pressure off of me!
