Tension lyrics with English Translations
I'm never gonna give Jah, no matter what
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 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 grips the masses more and more The pressure makes them numb, but instead it makes me 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 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 profit in their term So the people only matter when the people help them earn Whoa oh, so dem corrupt system get burn.. hot
That's why 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 Friends and family might leave I But is righteous tension a brew So I must prepare for what I might have to do..
But I'm never gonna give Jah, no matter what
Imagine the morning you awake to find the soldiers on your street Tanks on every boulevard, 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 peaks He says, "You may already notice the plans for your protection Put in place to neutralize potential insurrection"
But have no fear the force is here with tear gas, bombs and guns So no undesirables will 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.. it's you.. it's you.. it's 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 will resides? One day you may have to decide
That's why 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 Friends and family might leave I But is righteous tension a brew So I must prepare for what I might have to do
Is there tension building inside But I'm never gonna give Jah up, no matter what Rastafari
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 Friends and family might leave I But is righteous tension a brew So I must prepare for what I might have to do
