Beres Hammond - Putting Up Resistance

(Pressure, pressure)
(Pressure)

No I never can understand it
The way the system plan (pressure)
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 holler
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, now
I've got to work it out
Lord, I'm putting up resistance
I'm ah gonna work it out
You know I'm putting up resistance
I'm gonna work it out, Lord!

(..)
Got to fight it
Got to, got to fight it

No I never can understand it
The way the system goes (pressure)
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, I'm putting up a resistance, yeah
I've got to work it out
You know I'm, I'm putting up a resistance
I'm gonna work it out, wow
Putting up a resistance
I'm gonna work it out, now
Putting up a resistance
I'm gonna work it out

(Cool me down, blow wind blow)
Wanna stay home tonight
Like to spend some time with family
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 goes from man to mouth

Still I'm putting up a resistance, now, now
I'm gonna work it out
You know I'm putting up a resistance
I'm gonna work it out
I'm 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 (pressure)
(Putting up a resistance) Putting up some fight
Got to fight (pressure)
(Putting up a resistance, pressure)
I'm gonna work it out right now
Putting up a resistance now, I..
(Putting up resistance)
(Putting up resistance)
Putting up a fight, fight, fight, fight
