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
