Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to
Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to
Downpressor man

All along that day
You gonna run to the sea
But the sea will be boiling
When you run to the sea
The sea will be boiling
The sea will be boiling
All along that day
You gonna run to the rocks
The rocks will be melting

Thanks bro, obrigado irmão, muchas gracias
I am born in 1950.
Last year i have visit jamaika
Together with my doughter Shanthi, mother from Sri lanka
When i met the locals i start to sing songs like that , Bob Marley and from all the others
I Covered my eyes behind the sunglass. Tears were running down behind.
It was the best journey in my live.
I had visit some other places in that whole wide world.
I am still a Hippie, but an old one.
But still the same and that's good.❤😂
Hold onto your hippie-hood.. we were from a generation that was unique. Generations who came before us didn't make it, and those after us just dropped the ball. Keep groovin'
Should have been titled downpressor M.A.N.
The Mechinized.Anthropic.Nemisis
Went to his childhood home many years ago. Met his momma. So gracious. His tomb is in front of the home. Sad but truly memorable experience. RIP Peter.....
I couldn't imagine..
❤❤❤
The "Stepping Razor" . During the dark days of apartheid in South Africa, these songs like "equal rights and justice" inspired, uplifted us, encouraged us, comforted. We took solace that other Blacks overseas knew and cared about our struggle against an oppressive regime. Other reggae songs too.
But nowadays!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is happening in my country !!!
Oll
BLM= Boer Lives Matter
Bantus love Marxism
We have now had the United States of America completely destroyed and stolen from those who voted for the other guy another thing this is not about skin color it's about the human race being deceived by demons posing as humans of all colors
There was more to the game that eyes could see..
...Ours..not GOD'S!!..
Exactly what was predicted and what you were fighting for....
Peter Tosh was a ferocious beast musically! Everything he touched represents near perfection & has & continues to change this world for the better one mind at a time. There may have been equals but no one has ever been Better than PT, especially in this genre. To top it off he was also a spiritually beautiful human being. A beautiful beast! Marley & Tosh, their likes shall not be seen again. Thanks to The Most High that I was alive to see it all!
These powerful heartfelt lyrics will touch spirits until the end of times💯🔥
Amen
I have been listening to this song a lot lately. Especially with everything going on in the world now. Peter was awesomeness.
I've listened to this song from birth your right
Me too. Been playing this album and Burning Spear Man in the Hills on the way to work.
They won't be able to hide much longer
Yeah I've always loved reage but I've been listening to alot of it lately
The time is upon us Pray for mercy for us all 🙏💙
We need more conscious reggae in this complicated present ! We miss you Peter
I agree
If you are here in 2021 your going to be ok!!!!
Trevor Hall, Mike Love, Satsang, Nahko. They are all amazing. The most reggae-esque is Mike Love.
We need more conscious people period.
Say that again m brother
The whole system here in America from Wall st to D.C needs to hear this message from Peter Tosh.
I thought of this song when they said that the DUMBs were being cleared out..
They will
They won't hear but they Will feel
@@jepthawilliams8413 You may not hear, but you will sing
Our time is coming not a matter of if but when
Yeah the prophet of reggae himself what a pity he died through a barrel of a gun as if he was a criminal. I first listened to this album back in the day that was in 1981 when I was 15 years old. Today I'm 58 years old still feeling as if this album was released last year. May your soul rest in eternal peace Jah man, my prophet & long live here Ahoy Rastaman!
Oi! From Bridgetown CA SGV/USA Original Skinhead SUBCULTURE... Much love to all of you's out there...Mr.AST
He.died
His.music.never.died
His message still rings true.
Legalize it.
"Read it in Revelation! You'll find your redemption."
-Boby Marley
I used to listen to Peter and get high on mushrooms, lsd and ganja. Then I read the Bible and the words of prophecy. Read them and study them, they can set you free.
Incredibly powerful voice and an incisive mind that waged the war for freedom and justice for all mankind, and now lies a martyr...shall forever dwell in our grateful minds...
This album is almost a bible but legalise it is just a masterclass album i seriously don't know what I will be growing up without that album🇬🇭
@sweetpotato908; If I may add a few words to your great comment, I shall start by saying that you are an insightful person to describe Peter’s album as an eternal spiritual asset…
The fact is, Peter will forever remain #TheHighPriestOfReggae or as we say in Afrika, the Chief Priest. In our culture, a King without a Chief Priest is a King without spiritual fortification.
A lot of people do not recognize the Brotherly love he shared with Bob.
Peter was the high Priest who anointed Bob by teaching him how to play the guitar, which stimulated and unleashed the gifts of melody within him. He became King because he had the perfect High Priest.
Rest in Power; Great Sons of Afrika, born in Jamaica.
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🇯🇲❤🇬🇭✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
@globalcetzen5271 my best albums are legalise it and bob uprising this 2 albums show us how spiritual this dudes where I know equal rights had mighty songs like I am that I am ,equal right and african but i think that Peter was at his best when he recorded legalise it the same with bob marley and his band the wailers when they did uprising Aston and carlton was unreal in that album.
This Album is obviously Inspired from the Bible.❤❤
2024 I'm listening this song with my brother Thapelo mphanya
Truly an absolute amazing legend. Of whom I have followed since I was 6yrs old amazing Artist 🎨
this song stuck to my brain again to day and i was sing it everywhere i went happy holidays people stay healthy and unite 🌍🙏
Greetings from Jamaica...Peter Tosh was a true revolutionary. He sang from the heart.. This album takes me places. I prefer absolute solitude when I listen to this album (just want to be alone and be one with the music).... Equal Rights, a great album
Respect and blessings to all who are within earshot of this song..
am from Belize and lately found out that am roots from the legend ! Dennis Tosh gratefull to know that i came from a legend and his every song makes my heart beat and skip a beat... grateful to know why i love reggae music and especially my root my legend Peter Tosh
Who are the 247 miserable people who disliked this? Seriously...
They are downpressor men with nowhere to run to.
One of my favorite reggae songs of all time . Awesome !
Listened to this song 30 years ago....still listening in 2024.never gets old..
I listened to it 44 years ago...every following year to date
I love reggae❤
SAME! I'm 47 and was listening to Peter when i was a teenager...also Marley of course and Love me some Toots and the Maytals! Enjoy the tunes!
❤
Awesome song as are many tireless others in the Tosh / Marley Genre , love it big time
Nunca envelheceram! É eterna!
Where you gonna run to on dat day? Where are gonna hide? You can't bribe no one on dat day! #BAM #PeterTosh
Give a man the shivers child hood memories the black power days lots of good black music in the late 80s ..love from aboriginal Australia....
Much slower than his 1971 single (which I just listened to for first time). Both are great, but for me the groove in this album is irresistible.
The sea is broiling in Florida, liten to pete
I laugh at all these comments.... Peter Tosh was first and foremost Rasta Gangsta. He did music for fun and culture. He was shot to death in his home over 20 times. GodBless Him.
What you mean rasta gasta
I grew up listening and jamming to this song but I never new the meaning of it. But wow Oppressors you can run but you cant hide on that day...RIP Sir McIntosh❤❤❤❤❤❤
"I wouldn't like to be a flea under your collar man...on that day."
Nina Simone has a version of this song.
Sou do Brasil geração 96 . Amo esses reggae das antigas. Nunca voltaremos a esse nível
Can't stop til I drop
From Africa Somalia
I love Peter Tosh, part of my history.
This is the song I love best
All love Jamaica 🇸🇴🇯🇲
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!
I salute you Mr president of reggae.Your voice is still motivating me.You r still alive in my heart.May your soul rest in peace.
I'm english, but i feel my soul is in jamaica
I´m german and feel like you
Jah Rastafari isn't a nation it's a state of mind xx
If ur English ur fucked from me corona 👑 the father of creation jah jah
Jamaica is very ancient land I feel you
Irie, mon!
You drink your big champagne and laugh haw haw haw! (Priceless moment in roots recordings)
He killed the bass on this track
Murdered
The name is Robbie Shakespeare he the one whom murdered it.
PETER WAS A MAN OF THE TRUTH,HE SAID AND SING WHAT OTHER DONT TRY TO SAY!! R.I.P. PETER MY FRIEND!!!!!
They killed him because he spoke the truth, I'm a white man , I got the message a long time ago, it's so relevant now with what's going on America, it makes me hurt for my country, I'm often embarrassed to be white
@@timjohnson8198 the revelation for my country South Africa. We had Lucky Dude who followed his steps and message but he was shot dead. RIP REGGAE MEN, YOUR MESSAGES ARE CLEAR.
they will all pay for their evil work
True word. Which was the big part of the split with his brothers
Peter was a GENIUS!!!! R.I.P. MY INSPIRATOR!!!!!!
Much love to Peter Tosh and the wailers.They have brought much joy to my life when i needed it most.Much love❤.
I’m a 58 year old White American that has enjoyed Peter Tosh for 40+ years, and it gets better each time you listen to it!!!!
The message still rings true.
Legalize 100% indiscriminate Cannabis use worldwide!
65 yr old White American continues to feel it for 40 years. One People, One Love.
For those of us over 60, Peter Tosh was the man. Jimmy Cliff opened the world's eyes, but Peter man, from the heart.
Ageist!
well said.
Right you are brother!! Bigger man than Marley in my eyes. 🌴 🇯🇲🌴
@@ironworker5792too many people are still suffering .
Such a good message, let me walk my path and ya run away
This year of 2020 has it a new meaning
this can make a man repent
Yes I
Sure caaaaan!
My fave version of this track is him live at the Greek theatre.

Every once in a while I pull out legalize it .what a brilliant album rip peter.
Such a powerful tune. Oppressors take heed.
They should, really my brother.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him....
@@Soli_Deo_Gloria_. ZQ
Especially now more than ever
@@pierreabassi8812 Sky wizard!
he had the most incredible voice. powerful!
And he wasn’t slack in the guitar department also. The best skanker in the business!
dar nelson so true it's mighty
strongest voice of them all
His voice is honest, vulnerable, and caring....but you hear the toughness and authenticity of the street and how hard the people his song are about have it.....
True dar nelson. He is a legend icon in reggae music till date
I'm 85 year old,trailer trash Trumper and hear to confess my sins
This isn't just music it's something sacred with spiritual ingredients ❤🇿🇲🦋
Why is this man underrated that's bullshit .he just as good as Bob Marley this is an icon legend .the greatest singer of all time
No, he's not underrated, actually I'd say he's rather overrated...
Bob's English nose was more appealing.
Reminds me of how real the struggle is... Just remember god is good and he is always with us that keep the faih. 1 Love.. Jah forever!
That's some faith friend. Well done
When I sing along , it makes me cry for Humanity
I feel it
🫀
it also makes me cry for humanity, like 4real, expensive tears, and yes
yeah brother, i am with you, tears
"Don't mourn, organize!"
-Joe Hill (Joel Emmanuel Hägglund)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_mourn,_organize!
These lyrics are phenomenal, but the music on this track is pure genius. Wow!
Mi father this inna real life who still a listen tap een
Reason y tosh and even marley was soo militant and out spoken in they lyrical content word is that during the slave trade the most stiff necked and rebellious slaves was drop off in jamaica so this is y these jamaican reggae artist is like that when u listen to songs like this morning i wake up in a curfew or stepping razor man in the hills by burning spear marley soh jah say these r just a few upliftment songs by these guys they never really sing songs for only jamaican folks they put it out to touch every single black person globally so is soh it go dig
Downpressor man working overtime right now by beating and killing us but we can’t and won’t be stopped ✊🏾
El_Piter33 that’s absolutely kind of words they don’t like big up bro
Hopefully good change will come of it . Don’t follow the demonrats (Democrats) . They are the downpressors . Fought to keep slavery legal, fought against Jim Crow , fought against equal rights . Their cities are crumbling , so much poverty , so much homelessness, , they were the ones who called black people thugs and super predators, they created laws that targeted black men . They are not your friend . Peace and Love !
He was a pioneer
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare ❤ONE LOVE or IGNORANCE and a lost soul......😢
This is the true definition of Reggae music no filter real rebellion uplifting Inspiring thought provoking. loving this music it will live on with every Generation until there is no Hate or injustice in this world this music will remain relevant …..I got it on repeat
There will Never be a time when there is no hate or injustice on earth, not before the last day anyway. To think otherwise is folly because you would have to control everyone on the planet and that is evil in itself.
Un chef d oeuvre . Angoissant car j ai vécu ce qu il décrit en traduisant . Étouffé par la vie et vivre l enfer sans echappatoirs
Downpressor man wher you go as run to, on that day?????
his english is very clear to be understood to every one...
The king of Reggae at his best. He taught Bob Marley how to play the guitar along with other things.
Definitely the king of reggae. Lyrics made of iron, heavy hits.

I'm Zakari from Togo Africa I love P Tosh for erver.

Interesting to feel that even the laugh in the song is artistic
money gets funny
Tosh once recorded in Leon Russels studio in Tulsa. It’s an old church that is currently being renovated to remind all of its history.
i did not know that until now. tyvm for the info.
Tell us more I'm with you
YOU CAN RUN BUT CANT HIDE
I am in permanent communication with Jah .

Homem opressor
Para onde você vai correr
Homem opressor
Para onde você vai correr
Homem opressor

Durante todo aquele dia
Você vai correr para o mar
Mas o mar estará fervendo
Quando você correr para o mar
O mar estará fervendo
O mar estará fervendo
Durante todo aquele dia
Você vai correr para as rochas
As rochas estarão derretendo
Thought of this song when I saw video of stockbrokers drinking champagne during the OWS protests.
"Drink your big champagne and laugh" indeed.
It is basically a reworked reggae version of Nina Simone’s Sinnerman. Good version
Peter also reworked Johnny B Goode... tis the run of money cause money gets funny.
What Mr president of reggae is predicting is not a fiction.It is a real truth.But,it sounds fictious.Let us all be humble before God.Let us be humble before his son.Let us all repent, and quit the bad behaviours.
I agree with u dar Nelson he did have an incredible voice...PETER TOSH #1
Such a powerful tune
Tosh was a genius! A legend everything he touched turned to gold
My personal favorite reggae song all time
