Pressure Drop Lyrics
It is you, you (oh yeah)
It is you (oh yeah)
Oh yeah pressure drop a drop on you
I say a pressure drop, oh pressure
Oh yeah pressure drop a drop on you
Know that you were doing wrong.
I say a pressure drop, oh pressure
Oh yeah, pressure drop a drop on you [2x]
people people toots is a straight up legend, chilled and dope noise from jamaica, not every1 can sound like bob marley, thats a good thing PRESSURE DROP
why is there soo little comments on such legendary party songs ?!?!?!?!
because they are party songs, not songs you have to discuss meanings about.. the meaning is clear in the music
I've seen songs with less meaning gather more comments.
And this is still an awesome song.
In my anthro text book it calls this song a religious song. So, it may not be a party song.
i can see how it could be interpreted that way. he talks about "doing wrong" which can be sins and they can catch up to you and you will feel the "pressure". i don't know. i may or may not be talking out of my ass.

this is in no way a party song! i mean u can interpret it however u like but it is more an angst song.. when the "pressure drops, it is you!" when everything is going bad in your life don't you feel the weight of the world on you?! this is definitely one of those songs that will find you not the other way around!
I don't think it is angst. It is condemnation. He isn't sing about himself. He is saying, literally, that the "pressure gonna drop on you". He is saying that when you do wrong or live wrong there are consequences.

An angst song? Haha - no, just... no. Lyrically, it is not jolly or playful, but it isn't exactly deep, brooding or existential now, either, is it?
I saw Toots live last night, it was one of the happiest, most joyful gigs of my life. Toots was probably at his most animated for this song, clasping hands in the crowd, blowing kisses, laughing and singing with what looked to me like glee.
It was an AMAZING party.
Yes, but when the song was recorded(1969), he was not as well to do as he is today. Of course he's happy today. He's considered one of the kings of Reggae.

All one need do is look at the history of Jamaica during this time to understand the lyrics. Other songs by Toots and the Maytals reflect a similar sentiment.

As for party song... sure, why not? I could get down with this.
