Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Pressure by P. Murray, G. T. Haynes, A. Henry
and J. Wisniewski
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.

[Verse 2]
Now dem no [G]know 'bout pressure.
[D]In [G]high society.
Dem no know 'bout pressure.
Dem no feel it like we.
[D]Well now is

[Verse 3]
[G]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 an[D]d brother.
Well [G]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.

[G]Down inna the sea.
We are British citizens.
But this is not our country.

[Verse 5]
[G]
[D]About[G]
[D]4 million
[G]unemployed in our country.
Man a get redundant through
ma[D]chinery.
Now [G]living in the ghettos it don't easy.
We have to try a little hustling
[C]to make some money.
That's why we [G]don't blame
a man fe sell sensi.
And we can see why certain man
dem a commit [D]robbery.
'Cause [G]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 [D]community.
Dem just [G]a spend dem money
on nuclear energy.
From my point of view they
must be getting [D]ready.
Getting [G]ready for what?
World War Three.
The rich will be safe and [C]also Maggie.
[G]The Queen and the whole
of de Royal Family.
Dem a go catch a space ship
and leave de [C]country.
[G]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.

[Outro 1]
Dem no know 'bout pressure.
