[INTRO] [Warm Rhodes • dusty guitar • muted trumpet • brushed drums • deep bass] Berries: Mmm… You feel that? That’s not the kick. That’s her. DJBIGSHOT: Yeah… Leave the lights low. Let the rhythm talk. Clock it baby, yeah. [VERSE 1] She don’t walk in, she glides through Perfume hanging where the night moves Little gold hoops catching every flash Then she hit one shoulder… Made the whole room crash She got old soul in her fingertips But the waistline speak in riddim Rhodes playing something sophisticated Log drum underneath saying: “Get with it.” She look at me like, “You know the groove?” I said, “Baby, I built the room.” [PRE-HOOK] Don’t rush… Let it simmer… Kick low Bass deeper One wine Then she freeze Let the trumpet breathe Now she’s back… Right on time. [HOOK] SWEET PRESSURE I can feel you through the bass SWEET PRESSURE You don’t even have to say a thing Little jazz in your fingertips Little fire in your waist Amapiano underneath Afrobeat all in the taste SWEET PRESSURE Don’t stop when it gets good Give me that grown-up rhythm The way only you could [POST-HOOK] Ooh… Ayé! That one. Berries: Run it back. DJBIGSHOT: You already know. Clock it baby, yeah. [VERSE 2] She don’t need a section She don’t need a name She just needs a bassline And somebody who can play Trumpet says, “Come closer” Guitar says, “Take your time” Log drum says, “Don’t tease me” She says, “Watch me redefine.” Her friends are taking pictures She couldn’t care less She came for the feeling Not the internet That’s why when she moves It hits different. [PRE-DROP] [Drums cut • bass pulse • Rhodes chord] Berries: Don’t give me everything… DJBIGSHOT: Why not? Berries: Because the drop deserves something. DJBIGSHOT: Say less. [ONE BEAT SILENCE] BOOM! [HEAVY DROP] SWEET PRESSURE! WINE! SWEET PRESSURE! TURN! SWEET PRESSURE! LOW! Bass underneath Drum on top Jazz in the middle DON’T LET IT STOP! Ay! Left foot… Right foot… Shoulder… SWITCH! Catch that log drum Before it disappears CLOCK IT! [BREAKDOWN] [Rhodes solo • sax phrase • live bass • hand percussion] Berries: Jazz made it smooth… DJBIGSHOT: Afro made it move… Berries: Piano made it sexy… DJBIGSHOT: Bass made it dangerous. [BUILD] Shaker rising… Kick breathing… Bass rolling… Trumpet calling… Berries: Everybody lean… DJBIGSHOT: Don’t fall. Berries: Wait… DJBIGSHOT: Wait… Both: NOW! [FINAL DROP] BOOOOOOM! SWEET PRESSURE! Feel it in your chest! SWEET PRESSURE! Feel it in your waist! No small talk… No instructions… Just rhythm… AND REACTION! Cape Town! Lagos! Accra! Jozi! One beat… Different flavors… SAME FIRE! DJBIGSHOT X BERRIES! CLOCK IT BABY YEAH! [OUTRO] [Rhodes, trumpet and bass fade] Berries: That’s not pressure. DJBIGSHOT: That’s pleasure. SWEET PRESSURE.
