Just like cold steel shot hot out of a gun
Just like a orange peel left all day in the sun
I've got no feel that's done left me scarred
What don't kill me has done made me hard
Just like storms feel when you've got no place to run
Just like love feels when you thought she was the one
From the school of hard-knocks
Trapped between a rock and a hard place
What don't kill me has done made me hard
I've learned to breathe underwater
And lay fire to bed
I'm just a man under pressure
Like Muddy Waters said
Disappointment can drop me
From a thousand stories high
I got a spare set of wings
Watch me fly
Just like storms feel when you've no place to run
Just like love feels when you thought she was the one
The school of hard-knocks
Right between a rock and a hard place
What don't kill me has done made me hard
I've learned to breathe underwater
And lay fire to bed
I'm just a man under pressure
Like Muddy Waters said
Disappointment can drop me
From a thousand stories high
I've got a spare pair of wings
Oh, watch me fly
Taxes are due
And I'm through with you
I've been lonely a long time
I'm hungry now
And I was hungry then
I've gotta know them
I've got a notice just the other day
They said that I'm underwater
I'm underwater

Gregory Porter è un cantante e compositore di jazz statunitense nato a Los Angeles, California, nel 1973. Dopo aver studiato al prestigioso Berklee College of Music, Porter ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale come musicista di sessione prima di emergere come artista solista negli anni 2010. Il suo stile vocale profondo e ricco, influenzato da artisti come Nat King Cole e Billie Holiday, lo ha rapidamente consacrato come una delle voci più importanti del jazz contemporaneo. Porter è noto per le sue performance emozionanti e i testi poetici che esplorano temi di amore, perdita, speranza e spiritualità. Tra i suoi album più apprezzati figurano "Liquid Spirit" (2013), vincitore del Grammy Award per il miglior album di jazz vocale, e "Take Me to the Alley" (2016).
