Putting Up Resistance - Beres Hammond, U-Roy

Pressure, pressure

Pressure

No I never can understand it

The way the system plan

There’s no hope, no chance, no loophole,

No escape for a suffering man

Cause every time I lift my head above water

And try to save myself from drown

There’s an overnight scheme all worked out

Designed to keep ah me down

Still I’m

Putting up a resistance

I’m ah gonna work it out

You know I’m

Putting up a resistance

I’ve got to work it out

Blow wind blow, blow wind blow

I want to stay home tonight

I long to spend some time with the family

But staying home won’t make it right

Sometimes the pressure make me feel like bawling

When every sign says no way out

Breaking my back to make an overtime dollar

That just goes from hand to mouth

Still I’m

Putting up a resistance

I’m gonna work it out

You know I’m

Putting up a resistance

I’ve got to work it out

Lord I’m

Putting up a resistance

I’m ah gonna work it out

You know I’m

Putting up a resistance

I’m gonna work it out, Lord!

Got to fight it

Got to fight it

No I never can understand it

The way the system goes

I don’t know how they do it

There’s only one way things flow

Cause every time I lift my head above water

And try to save myself from drowning

There’s an overnight scheme all worked out

Designed to keep ah me down

Still I’m

Putting up a resistance

I’ve got to work it out

You know I’m

Putting up a resistance)

I’m gonna work it out now

Putting up a resistance

I’m gonna work it out

Blow wind blow, blow wind blow

I want to stay home tonight

I’d like to spend some time with the family

But staying home won’t make it right

Sometimes the pressure make me feel like bawling

When every sign says no way out

Breaking my back to make an overnight dollar

That just goes from man to mouth

Still I’m

Putting up a resistance

I’ve got to work it out

You know I’m

Putting up a resistance)

I’m gonna work it out now

Putting up a resistance

I’m gonna work it out
