pressure - putting up resistance lyrics

[intro + beres hammond]
no one ever can understand it
no one ever can understand
no one ever can understand it
no one ever can understand it
i’m gonna work it out

[verse 1 + pressure buss pipe]
that’s why we get rebellious for our cause
my mama ah work so hard fi care di youth dem inna di yard
di system set away for those at home and those abroad
di system never pay nuh got regards for the lord; fraud
soon as they make the million them mislead the civilian
same time pressurе buss them gwe’n fight and take thе ‘geddon
dem a single out di youth dem weh a come from the caribbean
like ah only a high society fi flourish like a lily

inna di ghetto nuttin’ nuh pretty
the rich nuh got no pity
unno work iniquity low mental capacity
we nuh bow to vanity nor cite nuh committee,,
dem a talk about peace treaty when a dem mash up di city
then the system get so greedy dem nuh care fi di poor nor needy
hungry man ah juggle cd fi him pickney get feedy
later on police guh rail him through him smoke weed and beady
the way the system work it is not movie; it is real y’all

[chorus]
(i’m gonna work it out)
why is it so hard to love and unite?
why is it they treat the poor so impolite?
why solve your problems with guns and knives?
why gas, oil have more value than life?
why when you k!ll another you rejoice?
why raise the price on food and rice?
father beres gimmie yah strength and shine your light

[verse 2 + pressure buss pipe]
(tell me) why society divided by class?
why the leaders we elect fi control nuh do dis task?
why so much black people cyaan afford the school cost?
population of the jobless is more than the have?
why we work so hard and still cyaan save a cent?
why the price i pay for gas per month is more than my rent?
why america have more jailhouse than tenement?
why the homeless we duck walking and sleep on a cement?

why so much record producer nuttin’ no nuh sell?
audio max get the money ’cause him price gwaan well
why so much youth go ah dance foyer ah scale?
why some dreadlocks now bow under jackie and shannele?
why the premier him talk so much ’bout brotherhood
but ah initiation dem nuh treat dem bredda good
why dem fight against selassie you fulfil the book
and about 72 nations bow at him foot y’all!

[chorus]
why is it so hard to love and unite?
why is it they treat the poor so impolite?
why solve your problems with guns and knives?
why gas, oil have more value than life?
why when you k!ll another you rejoice?
why raise the price on food and rice?
father beres gimmie yah strength and shine your light

[verse 1 (rpt)+ pressure buss pipe]
that’s why we get rebellious for our cause
my mama ah work so hard fi care di youth dem inna di yard
di system set away for those at home and those abroad
di system never pay nuh got regards for the lord; fraud
soon as they make the million them mislead the civilian
same time pressure buss them gwe’n fight and take the ‘geddon
dem a single out di youth dem weh a come from the caribbean
like ah only a high society fi flourish like a lily
