I remember when I first heard this song . It was back in 73 or 74 and Bob Marley was on his first major US tour . I got to see him live in S.B. California . At around the same time as Bob was firing up the American awareness of this unbelievably cool music , reggae , the movie started circulating “ The Harder They Come The Harder They Fall “ starring another reggae music great , Jimmy Cliff . Soon after , the sound track was available , as a record . I bought one right away of course and that’s where I first grooved to Toots and the Maytals ,who had several of their songs on the song track . Pressure Drop was one .
Another great tune was “ Rivers of Babylon “ by the Melodians , which like a lot of the early reggae music those days was basically straight out of Psalms ( or other Biblical verses or references ) Here is that ,lovely tune - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDYAqz603TE

Beyond all this I can only say “ Jah Rastafari ‘
