about

Love the African intro, and the transition to that roots rock reggae beat. I also liked being able to incorporate a nod to the great Peter Tosh, and the fact that we never play this one the same way twice. For the record, that's Reed Kahilina'i Hew-Len at about the 1:54 mark. haha

lyrics

Oppression – K. Watanabe
v. 1
Oppression, feel it in our hearts. Oppression, we feel it in our soul. Rumors of wars in far off places. Uncertain freedoms beyond these fences. Sometimes I think it’s just like, sometimes I think it’s just like Peter Tosh said, he said, he said we’re sick and tired of these easy schism games, die and go to heaven in Jesus name, Lord. We know and we understand, that mighty God is a living man. You can fool some people sometimes, but you can’t fool all the people all the time. So now we see the light, we stand up for what’s right, we stand up against oppression. Race discrimination.
v. 2
Oppression, we feel it in our hearts. Oppression, we feel it in our souls. Said, sometimes I think that we live in a world, a world of sin, but music is the light that lights my path. Said, I want to know if we should break it down, tonight. I want to know if we should break it down. I said that roots rock reggae is like scripture to me, when I hear the verses I yearn to be free, I said, “Free from the masses, free from the misery, free from the Babylon from the Babylon society.”
v. 3
Oppression, feel it in our hearts. Oppression, we feel it in our soul. Rumors of wars in far off places. Uncertain freedoms beyond these fences. Sometimes I think it’s just like, sometimes I think it’s just like Peter Tosh said, he said, he said we’re sick and tired of these easy schism games, die and go to heaven in Jesus name, Lord. We know and we understand, that mighty God is a living man. You can fool some people sometimes, but you can’t fool all the people all the time. So now we see the light, we stand up for what’s right, we stand up against oppression
