[Intro]
Dis is a natty dread chant
Come to quake up the weakheart plan
Tell us, therefore play, mister Music Man (Wow!)
Time to sow an' a time to reap, yes my friend
Say so, mister Music Man
The seed you sow, that’s what you shall reap
Tell dem, brother, tell dem, say
You light the fire (Fire!)
To burn dis naya (Rastafari!)
But, it no work out (Babylon!)
You’re just a weakheart
[Verse 1]
Mi say, go 'way babylon, say, mi know you are wicked man
No bother come lick mi
Cah, mi tell ya, mi a God-bless pickney (Wooy)
For, I heart is dread, an' you are a ballhead
I praise thе living, an' you praise the dead
[Chorus]
I hеart the natty dread (Wow!)
I heart the natty dread
[Refrain]
Oh, we make dally from di scene in mi ites gold an' green
A fi go check my little queen call Jasmine
An' here came a Babylon to stick up I man
Mi have fi jump on the wall, an' the children-dem a bawl
Could-eh, could-eh
[Chorus]
For, when you try to get I cold, you should remember dat
I have the dread at the mantrol
I have the dread at the mantrol
I heart the natty dread (Gosh!)
I heart the natty dread (Wow!)
Could-eh, could-eh
[Bridge]
For, if you praise Jah, you live, an' if you hate him, you die
You praise Jah, you live, an' if you hate him, you die
Mi say, fi love Selassie I
Natty say, fi love Selassie I
[Verse 2]
Mi say, fi throw away your gun an' make we have some fun
Throw away your gun an' make we have some fun
In dis island in the sun
In this island in the sun (Could-eh)
Dreadlocks in moonlight
[Chorus]
For, when you try to get I cold, you should remember, say
I have the dread at the mantrol
Mikey dread a keep you rocking an' swing
I tell you. Mikey Dread come to do his own thing
[Verse 3]
Mi nah trouble no one in a Babylon
Mi only want fi go to mount Zion land
Selassie I-ya king, an' every joy I sing
I have to keep it in my heart, not to tear it apart
Could-eh, could-eh (He-hey)
[Refrain]
A so mi dally pon di scene in mi crisp limousine
Fi go check my little queen call Jasmine
An' there came a Babylon to stick up I man
Mi say, nobody couldn’t understand
Him want fi pull I up, an' let fi see I drop down dead
Could-eh, could-eh
Him want fi pull I up, an' let fi see I drop down dead
An' go spread propaganda (Wow!)
[Outro]
Could-eh, could-eh
Watch dat
