Toots and the Maytals - Pressure Drop

Conquering and ruling cultures often oppress those they dominate. The oppressed, and those with less power, will always eventually seek justice, representation, and equal power from their subjugators. Those whose culture have been vilified, repressed, and appropriated can regain their power and love by learning about their past, choosing and identifying their cultural heroes for themselves, and restoring their appreciation and celebrations for their ancestors.  

May this song encourage an honest look into your past, acknowledging both the shadow and the light, appreciating the beauty of what was and is, and learning from accomplishments and mistakes to continue our evolution in becoming better co-creators with the planet.

I used some of a bass stem Alpha Roots sent me to make Red Earth Clay and I used the rest of the stem to make Sow Your Seeds. I have one unused bass and drum stem from Alpha Roots that I will make an old school hip hop song with and I may remix his original Hosanna bass stem one day to make a new reggae song. I may also ask Russ if I can make a version of Da Weed using Alpha Roots’ stems one day. After that, I may be complete unless I get gifted some Alpha Roots stems to play with. 

Huge thanks to Chiefo who set the original tone of this song which gave me inspiration for  the lyrics. Big ups to Fady, bit zone, and Lady of Fire Poetry for joining in on this project and adding their collective vibe. Massive thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for keeping the track on skank with his rhythm guitar and for providing us with his incredible art work - commission him for some work y’all!!! And massive thanks to Russell and the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering these stems into the huge dubbed out joint that it is. Hit Russ up for his mixing and mastering services now!!!

Lyrics:

Know your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 
Rock your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 

Get to know your roots and your culture
Who you be now 
Know your history now 
So you can see now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now
Hey ey ey
Hey ey ey 

Gonna build on that which went before I 
Try and build on that which went before I 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my
 Destiny with suppression and lies 
Deny that my ancestors were wise 
Revise my story with your wicked eyes  so others will despise 
And overlook the great civilizations that my people built 
Likewise likewise likewise

Unaware of history your destined to repeat it 
Only hear deceitful stories and we’re likely to concede to it 
Take away the leaders from our culture to unseat it 
Take away our dreams from our spirit to defeat it 
Replace dem with your poor role models and everyone believes in it 
Replace dem with your hopelessness and everyone perceives it 
But Jah lion shines bright in us and we only need to see it 
Jah lion is shining bright in us and all we need to do is reveal it

Sow Your Seeds

“Favorite New Band”

They’ve got that brand-new sound
They’ve got that sound that’s in demand
They’ve got that sound that’s goin’ round
And they’re your favorite new band

There’s so much music out there today
So many bands sound the same,
Sometimes it’s hard to keep ‘em straight
But this band is so much different than those other bands
They’re really different
And different in a different way

They’ve got that brand-new sound
They’ve got that sound that’s in demand
They’ve got that sound that’s goin’ round
And they’re your favorite new band

Every hour of every day, their same two hits get played and played,
From New York City to west L.A.
All the girls, they wanna see ‘em
All the boys, they wanna be ‘em
Their sound is hip and oh-so dashing
And so damn catchy...
Their sound goes round and round your head til you feel your brain start cracking—

They’ve got that brand-new sound
They’ve got that sound that’s in demand
They’ve got that sound that’s goin’ round
And they’re your favorite new band

They got that sound
That sound!
	Sound!
		Sound!

Tearing at your fabric – you had to hold on tight

Build us a foundation – mmm roots that are oh so strong

And love’s gonna be a happy place
Sun gonna set on a sparkling face

Cause I love you girl and I love my family

Uptown Woman (Lyrics)

Uptown Woman Oh You Look So Good
Uptown Woman In My Neighbourhood
Uptown Woman Walking Down The Street
Uptown Woman Makes My Knees Go Weak
Uptown Woman Come And Give It To Me

Uptown Woman With The Long Black Hair
All Of The Boys They Just Stop And Stare
Uptown Woman With The Red Dress On
Cool Down Babe I Think You're Turning Me On
Uptown Woman Come And Give It To Me

She's Got My Head Spinning Round And Round
I Feel My World Turning Upside Down
She Makes Me Hot
She Makes Me Sweat
Uptown Woman I'm Gonna Get You Yeah

Uptown Woman Oh You Look So Good
Uptown Woman In My Neighbourhood
Uptown Woman Walking Down The Street
Uptown Woman Makes My Knees Go Weak
Uptown Woman Come And Give It To Me

Uptown Woman Come And Give It To Me
Uptown Woman Come And Give It To Me
Uptown Woman Come On And Give It To Me - Like That.
