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
Got to fight
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 drown
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, whoa
Putting up a resistance
I'm gonna work it out, now
Putting up a resistance
I've got to work it out
Blow wind blow, blow wind blow
I want to stay home tonight
I'd like to spend some time with my family
But staying home won't make it right
Sometimes the pressure make me feel like holler
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'm got to work it out
You know I'm
Putting up a resistance
I'm gonna work it out
Putting up a resistance
I'm gonna work it out
You know I'm
Putting up a resistance
Got to work it out
You know I'm
Putting up a resistance
Putting up some fight, got to fight
Putting up a resistance
I'm gonna work it out right now
Putting up some resistance now, now
Putting up resistance
Ooh, no
Putting up resistance
Putting up the fight, fight, fight, sight, survival
