Give me only what I need

It doesn't take too much to keep me satisfied

Down to work for my money and earn my keep

Hunger's got a way to tame a man's pride



(Can we build it up?) I know that we can

(Can we build it up?) Let's get to work every woman and man

(Can we build it up?) Pressure and time

(Can we build it up?) I said I'm gonna get mine

(Can we build it up?) I know that we can

(Can we build it up?) Let's get to work every woman and man

(Can we build it up?) Pressure and time

(Can we build it up?) I said I'm gonna get mine



I'm not asking for a throne and crown

I'm not pining for a starving queen

Tooth and nail will wear any man down

And my Mama keeps telling me I'm way too lean



(Can we build it up?) I know that we can

(Can we build it up?) Let's get to work every woman and man

(Can we build it up?) Pressure and time

(Can we build it up?) I said I'm gonna get mine

(Can we build it up?) I know that we can

(Can we build it up?) Let's get to work every woman and man

(Can we build it up?) Pressure and time

(Can we build it up?) I said I'm gonna get mine



Take me out of this mudslide of never enough

Let me eat from the fruit right off of the tree

When God gets a rest 'cos six days are just too rough

I can only pray He doesn't forget about me



(Can we build it up?) I know that we can

(Can we build it up?) Let's get to work every woman and man

(Can we build it up?) Pressure and time

(Can we build it up?) I said I'm gonna get mine

(Can we build it up?) I know that we can

(Can we build it up?) Let's get to work every woman and man

(Can we build it up?) Pressure and time

(Can we build it up?) I said I'm gonna get mine

Hey, pressure and time, hey hey, yeah

And I'm gonna get mine
