Go Natty Dread, go Natty Dread
Go Natty Dread, go Natty Dread
Go Natty Dread, go Natty Dread
Go Natty Dread
Give me that sweet soul music
That old time riddim
Please don't take it all away
Oh no, no, no
Rocking with my idrens and sistrens
Listening to the culture
Meditating
Dancing and singing
Praises to the King
Breddrens strengthen up yourself
Wherever you may be
Make the conscious move
And stick right by the rule
Babylon kingdom is falling down
The rightful ruler have to take control
The rightful ruler got to take control
Reggae music so nice and jolly
Our culture ain't no folly
Can't take no backstreet or no alley
Natty Dread have to take first place
And Natty Dread rise again
Dreadlock in a human form
And Natty Dread rise again
Natty Dread rise again
Conquering to conquer
And Natty Dread rise again
As music tear down the walls of Jericho, yeah
Tear down the walls of great Babylonia, yeah
For all the wrong he did to the children of mankind, yeah
All the wrong he did to the children
Hear me when I pray
Each and every day
Give me that sweet soul music
That old time riddim
Please don't take it all away
Oh no, no, no
Rocking with my idrens and sistrens
Listening to the culture
Meditating
Dancing and singing
Praises to the King
Breddrens lively up yourself
Wherever you may be
Make the conscious move
And stick right by the rule
Babylon kingdom is falling down
The rightful ruler have to take control
The rightful ruler got to take control
Reggae music so nice and jolly
Our culture ain't no folly
Can't take no backstreet or no alley
Natty Dread have to take control
And Natty Dread rise again
Dreadlock in a human form
And Natty Dread rise again
Oh Natty Dread, oh Natty Dread
Natty Dread rise again
Conquering to conquer
And Natty Dread rise again
Oh Natty Dread
Natty Dread rise again
Roots Natty roots
And Natty Dread rise again
King David royal throne
Natty Dread rise again
Conquering to conquer
And Natty Dread rise again
