Downpressure
Dem a come fe ruin di dance
Downpressure
Dem ask you for your license
The hounds of the system a come with the blue light
Some one a call the police just because there's a party tonight
It seems some neighboors they don't enjoy the sound
They may think it's too late so they want to put us down
Downpressure
Dem a come fe ruin di dance
Downpressure
Dem ask you for your license
Law and order, order and law
You got to turn off the sound cause they say so
But i'm afraid mr officer it won't happen, not today
Tell me what are you gonna do if i'n'i disobey
Downpressure
Dem a come fe ruin di dance
Downpressure
Dem ask you for your license
We mek music a we nuh terrorist
So you can come to di dance if you want fe jump'n'twist
Hit me with music cause when it hits i feel no pain
And if i had no music i will become insane

I got an Iron Mike Agenda
(On a Warriors Eve)
The world is watching me offend ya
(On a Warriors Eve)
So tired of your bigotry
I don’t a agree with your philosophy
You’re in the way of true unity
(Your era ends with me)
I’m the cobra in your garden
(On a Warriors Eve)
I call your bluff, now your my target
(On a Warriors Eve)
The Fall of You has been my Odyssey
The tales will call it a monstrosity
I’m a punch wit’ George Velocity
(A K.O. Victory)
(Warrior, Warriors Eve
Wah wah wah warriors Eve)
I got an Iron Mike Agenda
(On a Warriors Eve)
The world is watching me offend ya
(On a Warriors Eve)
So tired of your bigotry
I don’t a agree with your philosophy
You’re in the way of true unity
(Your era ends with me)
(Wah wah wah warriors Eve)

Hold on, hold on…
You dream dream dream dream dream of a life about
Money and fame
You ah really really no more a musician you’ve turned
Into a businessman
Hold on, hold on maybe you’re wrong
Hold on, hold on you’re running to fall
Why don’t you come back where you did once belong
Back to the happy days, the vibes and fun
Fi real real real real you acting like a child, evilous friend
You think that you stepping stepping strong when you're in a cloud walking
What you really really really wanted is to be on the
Top ranking
You climb climb climb without looking back and now
You’re a lonely victim
Hold on, hold on there’s something wrong
Hold on, hold on you’re running to far
Why don’t you come back where you did once belong
Back to the lovely days, the friends and joy
You think think think think that you doing it right but
You are hurting yourself
Your life’s a competition, you've became what you
really hated
that is no more a conviction that’s called ambition my
friend
you can be more in the seen but we all know the music’s
first
hold on, hold on maybe you’re wrong
hold on, hold on there’s something wrong
why don’t you come back where you did once belong
why don’t you come back where you did once belong
Well I say the ways of the Lord surely dread to the wicked
And a strength for the Righteous Man
Man oh Man Woosh
Man mussi humble like a Lamb and firm like a Lion
Coulda even made of Iron Dread
You can style me but you can't fool me
You can style me but you can't vex me
You can style me better come teach me
Tryin to style me now man ? haha
Onward back to my roots an' so me surely ketch the truth and the ripe fruits
Galang deh ! galang deh rally come round deh yeah ?
Cos dem claim them a ranking but dem soft like pumpkin
Thru just a pure skylarking and style dem flashin'
Pop a style to my bredren and sistren a Jah Jah gi'thee spanking !
yuno ?
As the wicked man cannot dwell pon Jah earth
Righteousness can never be removed
And as pride goes before destruction
Selfish ambition leads to disorder and jealousy yuno ?
Coo Deh ! Dread
Galang deh galang deh shuffle ya
Galang deh galang deh galang deh bwoy
Pure stumbling blocks and tinges Grudgefull and likkle something
Sight
Claim dem a ranking Soft like pumpkin ahaaaaaa
say say say
You can style me but you can't vex me
You can style me but you can't fool me
You can't style me You can't style me You can't style me
Hear dat ?
No Man stands alone ina this ya world Tell it to the boys and girls
can't style we, can't fool we
Woosh
Bout dem claim dem a rankings

She's commin home
By the train sushine on her chiks and chest
Very long and good kissing good bye
She's commin home
By the traaain Taking
Care of her business
Gonna miss the south, You and the river
I think she will be back
I think she will be back
I think she will be back
In the black black mountain
And as she watch the sky
The only thing she can think about
Papoula kisses marks
Are still burning
As the sweet honney taste
On her mouth
Oh such miracle
You took over
Fire in water
You turn her over
She's commin home
By the train sushine on her chiks and chest
Very long and good kissing good bye
She's commin home
By the traaain
Taking Care of her business
Oh.. she'll gonna miss you
I think she will be back
Yes i think she will be back
Oh i think she will bien back
Seems like she will be back
Oh maybe she will be back
Maybe maybe
I think she will be back
I think she will be back
Yes i think she will Because it was
It was so noce vacation

Oh, Tell you so!
Easy come easy go and that's all
easy come easy go just gone
Society lives faster
Oh watta big disaster
Money the king time's master
No time to think on prosper
No but the youth can face dis situation
But dem a busy them ah plenty of occupations
Ooh them dreaming big but nothing to achieve
Easy come easy go and that's all
Easy come easy go you're done
Humanity is a trap now
On nothing we can trust on
Obsolesce big bad monster
Fast-food, fast-live fast-love..so
No but the youth now to save next generation
But dem ah lost there's too much information
Ooh them dreaming so big but nothing to achieve
So unity we far so
If we nah share our love so
If we nah care our acts slow
We commercialized like products
No but the youth can’t stop dis segregation
But them to reap all dis inusitation
Easy come easy go and that's all
Easy come easy go we're done

Ooh, wow, oh, wow, oh, well
Brother I see you sinking inna deep mire
Where there is no standing
See you comin innna deep water
Where the flood's overflow in
Brother, you feel like one small drop in the ocean
Feel like you've walked in the depth of the abyss
Many are called, and only a few will be chosen
Rude are the streams that lead them away from their bliss
Deliver I from the recesses of the deep, oh Lord
And ransom me because of mine enemies
Don't let the deep swallow me up and make me go down
Don't let the pit shut its mouth upon me
Ooh, wow, well, well, well
Feel like no one a hear your pain and your holler
And still no one to help you bear your suffering
The main question is "Does the rain have a father ?"
"Ah who fathers the drops of dew each morning ?"
Don't you complain about your own precipitation ?
Can any understand the spreading of the clouds ?
Some drop a pray them a go dry up to evaporation
Cause only rain could ever see what is above
See, one day you'll know that nobody's no one
Cause every one is born to live in unity
Hold onto the rock of your salvation
Who support you since the springs of the sea
Oh woh woh, now, now
Allright, yeah, yeah
Oh, wow, oh, wow, oh, well
