Pressure |
Now this one is specially dedicated to all people living in poverty |
And directed at all those people in high society |
'Cause when it comes to feeling pressure |
None of them don’t feel it like we |
Now dem no know 'bout pressure |
In high society |
Dem no know 'bout pressure |
Dem no feel it like we |
Well now is I man Pato Banton |
And I man Daddy Tippa |
We a chat pon microphone |
Well as two blood brother |
'Cause we born in a the ghetto |
As two sufferer |
With we mother and we father |
We sister and brother |
Well I live in Birmingham |
And I’m a Londoner |
But is how we get together |
Some of them a wonder |
By coach by train |
Or even by car |
Rich man a catch plane |
And them taking helicopter |
'Cause… |
Well this lyric ain’t no joke |
And it’s not funny |
'Cause what we’re gonna chat |
Well is reality |
'Cause a whole heap of people |
Dem inna poverty |
And a whole lot of families |
Dem inna agony |
Inna Ethiopia |
Well dem a dead fe hungry |
And inna South Africa |
Dem a fight to be free! |
Free like the birds |
Up inna the tree |
And free like the fishes |
Down inna the sea |
We are British citizens |
But this is not our country |
'Cause we’re a part of the ethnic minority |
Now we’re gonna send this lyric to the Iron Lady |
And the whole of the conservative party |
'Cause… |
About 4 million unemployed in our country |
Man a get redundant through machinery |
Now living in the ghettos it don’t easy |
We have to try a little hustling to make some money |
That’s why we don’t blame a man fe sell sensi |
And we can see why certain man dem a commit robbery |
'Cause the dole and (social) security just don’t ready |
That’s why we feel it for the old and we feel it for the young |
And we feel it for each and every family |
Because dem nar spend no money on the community |
Dem just a spend dem money on nuclear energy |
From my point of view they must be getting ready |
Getting ready for what? |
World War Three |
The rich will be safe and also Maggie |
The Queen and the whole of de Royal Family |
Dem a go catch a space ship and leave de country |
Dem a go live on the moon and have space babies |
But what about Pato and Tippa Irie |
And the other 60 million people in the country |
Dem no know 'bout pressure |
