Beres Hammond Putting Up Resistance Lyrics

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 leave 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

No window, no window
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
When every sign says no way out
Breaking my back to make an overtime dollar
That just goes from man 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
I don't know how they do it
Cause every time I leave 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

No window, no window
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
When every sign says no way out
Breaking my back to make an overnight dollar
That just goes from man to mouth

Girl I know you've got some issues, Yeah i
And I never tried to dis you, Nuh nuh no
And now I no say life you been through, Oh lord
So im just here to wish you the very best inna life

The way you move it nuh gone get you nowhere
Tomorrows another day
Tomorrows another day
Where you goin nah gone take you nowhere
So I just want you to be prepared
Cuz judgment a come

No tell me it's a money thing
The way you talk about pretty woman like you coulda get anything
How you supposed to search for your king
When you addicted fi see da money bling, girl ty
Angel me wan ya spread ya wing
You nah listen lorenin when she a talk ousa dis thing
You nah frightened fi see what di scary gon bring
Come my dear, mi nah want ya feel da stings ya

The way you move it nuh gone get you nowhere
But Tomorrows another day
Yeah, Tomorrows another day
Where you goin nah gone take you nowhere
So I just want you to be prepared
When judgement a come

I guess its just the life ya chose
Ya Legs open, dem never closed
Something like deh motha
Wan de par for life, so many roads
Dats why its hurts me hard fi see ya pon di corna I rose
Dem a throw ya dolla bills fi take off ya clothes
Ya wonder why no-one's dere to send ya rose
I guess its just how it goes
Livin your life like ya last girl, I suppose

The way you move it nuh gone get you nowhere
But Tomorrows another day
Yeah, Tomorrows another day
Where you goin nah gone take you nowhere
So I just want you to be prepared

The way you move it nuh gone get you nowhere
But Tomorrows another day
Yeah, Tomorrows another day
Where you goin nah gone take you nowhere

So much so much love
So much
So tell me can you feel it
So much so much yeah
Ya know
Make that visit
So much so much love
So much
Senegal can you feel it
So much so much yeah
So much
Qoow!

So much love to share
Pure blackness, oneness so rare
So much love to care
Let them know they're missin' out
Mama Africa
so much love to share
Sweet blackness, oneness be there
So much love to give
Let them know they missin' out
Sing again

This is for all the love
And the life took away

Don't forget we were born in trade

ripped from the land and shipped away

Is the inspiration we used to survive

Have to see it with your own cries

Don't play
Add it up and alright
Still ya don't know

Land is so gold and green
The place is so fresh and clean
And everyday I water my garden
Tell me if you feel it deep in your heart and
The s___e is so cool and nice
Visit once, guaranteed to visit twice
And if you just believe in the most high
I know you'll be alright

Mama Africa
So much love to share
Pure blackness, oneness so rare
So much love to give
And let them know they're missin'out
Mama Africa
So much love to share
Sweet blackness, oneness be there
So much love to give
Let them know they missin' out
Sing again

That's my favorite place when I need to get away

Must forget but we can't forget to pray

Like Lance ridin' on the runway

In my homeland and I'm feelin' so alive

Hear me chant Africa unite

Gonna accept the mass alright

Still ya don't know
Skin is so dark and brown
She lifts me right off the ground
But no ya not gonna see it on ya tv
So just listen up and believe me
Her trees have the only cure
Her love is blue so and pure
Had to kiss them troubles goodbye bye
No I don't have to lie mama Africa, unite

So much love to share
Pure blackness, oneness so rare
So much love to care
Let them know they're missin' out
Mama Africa
So much love to share
Sweet blackness, oneness be there
So much love to care
Let them know that they missin' out
Sing again

So much so much love
So much
So tell me can you feel it
So much so much care
So much
Make that visit
So much so much love
So much
Senegal can you feel it
So much so much care
so much
Ooow!
So much love to share
I just can't see how we livin' without it
So much love to care
Don't miss don't miss one moment about it
So much love to share
Resist this miss yo I really doubt it
So much love to care
so much love
So much love to share (oh yeah)
Pure blackness, oneness so rare
So much love to care
Let them know they're missin' out
Feelin' it all the time
so much love to share
Sweet blackness, oneness be there
so much love to care
Let them know they're missin' out
Sing again

Tell me how come
Here in Jamaica so may people still a fight Rasta
Tell me how come
Down a East Fest dem neva charge Beenie Man but dem charge Sizzla
Tell me how come

Nuff nuff people love da Prime Minister
Tell me how come those in power don't seem to care
Chorus
It's cuz life is so unfair
In this sweet paradise and
This is what we swear
Out of Many One People
Can u say u see that anywhere
Everyone treated equal; and
This is why, so many die, leaving so many to cry
Verse II
Tell me how come, They're so much guns in the street
And none a dem gun deh neva mek yah
Tell me how come, AIDS is spreading wide taking over this sweet paradise of Jamaica
Tell me how come, The ton of values going down, and everything's going up around town
Tell me how come Bogle had to get gun down
Verse III
Tell me how come, The youth dem Downtown can't receive the education like the youth dem uptown
Tell me how come, Jah Cure deh a jail and the prosecutor know he's innocent and shouldn't be there
Tell me how come, So much hungry belly in the Street
And Babylon a gwan like seh dem nuh see it
Tell me how come people see it an nah speak
