Pressure Drop, Toots and the Maytals (live ska version 2004)
It’s a song about revenge, but in the form of karma: If you do bad things to innocent people, then bad things will happen to you. The title was a phrase I used to say. If someone done me wrong, rather than fight them like a warrior, I’d say: ‘The pressure’s going to drop on you.’— Frederick ‘Toots’ Hibbert
