Lyrics

There is tension building inside i and I'm trusting i spirit to guide i Even if no else overstands I have got to do what it demands I eyes and ears might deceive i and friends and family might leave i But is righteous tension a brew so I must prepare for what I might have to do I don't have a problem in the world Solution oriented, simple island girl Passionate, compassionate with patience as a science Endorsing love and unity promoting self reliance Balancing I emotions tempering i temperament Maintaining i composure and learning when to vent But as injustice and oppression grip the masses more and more The constant pressure makes them numb but instead it makes i sure That there is tension building inside i and I'm trusting i spirit to guide I Even if no else overstands I have got to do what it demands I eyes and ears might deceive i and friends and family might leave i But is righteous tension a brew so I must prepare for what I might have to do Misleaders use semantics, to manipulate us Meaningless promises to keep us in a state of Catatonic apprehension empty hands up to the sky The art of misdirection used to disguise the lie Telling us decisions made are for our good, by those whom we elect When in actuality they merely reflect An ulterior agenda to make profit in their term So the people only matter when those people help them earn So dem currup' system get burn… hot That's why there's tension building inside i and I'm trusting i spirit to guide i Even if no else overstands I have got to do what it demands I eyes and ears might deceive i and friends and family might leave i But is righteous tension a brew so I must prepare for what I might have to do Imagine the morning you awake to find the soldiers on your street Armored tanks on every boulevard and police on every beat Helicopters hovering but a stillness in the air How will you be feeling? relieved? Or filled with fear? Then the radio announces that the leader's going to speak Adrenaline explodes as your attention starts to peak He says "you may already notice all the plans for your protection" They've been put in place to neutralize potential insurrection But have no fear the force is here with tear gas, bombs and guns So no undesirables can compromise the flow of funds Tell me where will you be standing what will you plan to do? When you realize the enemy is you! Which side of the law are you on? are you with the masses or are you the protected one? What side of the law holds your place? Do they defend you or can they stick that gun in your face? Tell me where does your allegiance lie? Does the struggle entertain you or does it make you cry? Is it clear where your conscience resides? One day you may have to deside That's why there is tension building inside But I'm never gonna give Jah up No matter what
