Part One: Ballistic Dread
[Chorus]
Stylistic dreadlocks are ballistic dreadlocks man (Sing again)
Stylistic dreadlocks are ballistic dreadlocks man
[Verse 1]
He wakes up in the morning an' all he does is swear all day
He goes to bed at night and he won't even pray
He's the head of the poker fare, retired mafia
Him no check fi sufferer, him no check fi Jah Jah plan (Watch dem)
[Chorus]
Commercial dreadlocks are business dreadlocks man (Sing again)
Commercial dreadlocks are business drеadlocks man
[Verse 2]
You see him on the streets, you try to say aloud
He screw his facе on you, oh, how he makes you feel so cute
He's the top ranking, he will gun you down
Him no check fi sufferer 'cause all him sell is hollow gold
Watch dem

Oh, what a dreadlock, what a samfie dreadlocks, oh

Him no check fi sufferer 'cause all him sell is hollow gold
Watch dem
[Chorus]
Commercial dreadlocks are business dreadlocks man (Watch dem)
Commercial dreadlocks are business dreadlocks man
[Verse 4]
He wakes up in the morning an' all he does is swear all day
He goes to bed at nights and he won't even pray
He's the head of the poker fare, retired mafia
Him no check fi sufferer, him no check fi Jah Jah plan (Watch dem)
