Lyrics

Uh-uh-uh-wee (Right now, say)
Uh-uh-uh-wee
Babylon a put on the pressure (Oh yes)
Hard time pressure
Babylon a put on the pressure (Oh yes)
Hard time pressure
On this land, on this land
Some can't take it but they can't leave it, leave it
Some are forced to stay under it (Oh yes)
We got to keep on slaving in a Babylon
We got to keep on slaving, oh yes, in a Babylon
Rastaman, don't you give it up, give it up
Just keep on facing Jah and lick your luck (Oh yes)
You got to keep on stepping out of Babylon
Stepping, keep on stepping out of Babylon
Everybody got to keep on work it out
Everybody got to keep on slaving right now-now-now-now
Keep on slaving in a Babylon
Hard time pressure, we just keep on slaving in a Babylon
Watch this, watch this
Hard time pressure in a Babylon
Hard time pressure in a Babylon
Hard time pressure in a Babylon
Hard time pressure in a dis ya land
