“China in Your Hand” by Petrus is a contemporary reimagining of the classic song originally performed by T’Pau. The song conveys a message about the fragility of dreams and the complexities of love.
The chorus, sung by Jill Campbay, warns against pushing too hard for dreams, as they can be elusive...
[Chorus 1 (Jill Campbay)]
Don't push too far, you dreams are China in your hand
Don't wish too hard because
They may come true, and you can't help 'em
[Verse 1 (Petrus)]
Slammin' tunes enemies and I'm off my knees
Number one drags like a metaphor trees
I didn't see what you never wanna be
'Cause every time I step two, you said three, uh
But then I chill 'til I won't lick a pop
Then I stop, on me drop (drop), keep it up top (top)
Nah, I won't disagree it for my love
K is number one (word up) dream on above
Peace, that's my destination
Top of the world, baby, for celebration
I maybe not, not, maybe I'm there
I can't do JK, life isn't always fair
[Refrain (Jill Campbay)]
Don't push too far, you dreams are China in your hand
Don't wish too hard because
They may come true, and you can't help 'em
You don't know what you might have set up on yourself
Yeah, yeah
China in your hand
[Post-Chorus 1 (Jill Campbay, Petrus)]
Babe, babe
You can't blame me, my drift is in my lady
Babe, babe
I'm trippin' down she give love, that's what I've found
[Verse 2 (Petrus)]
Dreams for the tones and cheers for the rhyme
I'm making real love (with ya) all of the time
A second-hand devotion, no look on my emotion
You slipped away the sadness and tripped with my propotion
Now everything's down, indeed it will up
Later on, baby, I'll take you like a cup
I maybe not, not, maybe I'm there
I can't do JK, life isn't always fair
[Refrain (Jill Campbay)]
Don't push too far, you dreams are China in your hand
Don't wish too hard because
They may come true, and you can't help 'em
You don't know what you might have set up on yourself
Yeah, yeah
China in your hand
[Post-Chorus 1 (Jill Campbay, Petrus)]
Babe, babe
You can't blame me, my drift is in my lady
Babe, babe
I'm trippin' down she give love, that's what I've found
[Post-Chorus 2 (Jill Campbay, Petrus)]
Babe, babe
You can't blame me, my drift is in my lady
Babe, babe
'Cause every time I'm with you, uh, I don't know what I'll do
Babe, babe
I'm trippin' down she give love, that's what I've found
Babe, babe
'Cause every time I'm with you, uh, I don't know what I'll do
