Lyrics
Roots Natty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I had a vision last night
That I was walking on a street of pure gold
This street that I saw
Is where I and I should have been
So why don't we stand up and fight for our rights
Dreadlocks the time is now
Stand up fight for your rights
Or you ain't gonna get your culture man
Roots natty, don't give up - hold on
If I am wrong, be not afraid to say so
Is there any difference between the black and white?
We are all of one skin - same blood , same soul
But there are some who think dreadlocks don't count
Dreadlocks the time is now...
NOTE: This song was later to be re-cut as "Dreadlocks, The Time Is Now" on "Proverbial Reggae"
