Rub, rub, rubby-doo-day;
|
Rum-pum-pum a-rum-pum-pum-pum!
|
Dready got a job to do
|
And he's got to fulfill that mission
|
To see his hurt is their greatest ambition, yeah!
|
But-a we will survive in this world of competition,
|
'Cause no matter what they do
|
Natty keep on comin'through,
|
And no matter what they say-ay-ay-ay,
|
Natty de deh every day. yeah!
|
Natty Dread rides again,
|
Through the mystics of tomorrow,
|
Natty Dread rides again:
|
Have no fear, have no sorrow, yeah!
|
|
All and all you see a-gwan
|
Is to fight against Rastaman.
|
So they build their world in great confusion
|
To force on us the devil's illusion.
|
But the stone that the builder refuse
|
Shall be the head cornerstone,
|
And no matter what game they play,
|
Eh, we got something they could never take away;
|
We got something they could never take away:
|
|
And it's the fire (fire), it's the fire (fire)
|
That's burning down everything:
|
Feel that fire (fire), the fire (fire);
|
Only the birds have their wings, yeah!
|
No time to be deceived.
|
Oh, brothers, you should know and not believe:
|
Jah say this judgement - it could never be with water,
|
No water could put out this fire (fire):
|
This fire (fire), this fire (fire),
|
This fire (fire), a yaga y'all! Ride, Natty, ride!
|
Go deh, Dready, go deh,
|
'Cause now the fire is out of control,
|
Panic in the city, wicked weeping for their gold!
|
Everywhere this fiyah is burning,
|
Destroying and melting their gold,
|
Destroying and waisting their souls.
|
|
Go ride, Natty, ride!
|
Go deh, Dready! Go deh!
|
|
Tell you what: now the people gather on the beach
|
And the leader try to make a speech,
|
But the Dreadies understandin' that it's too late:
|
Fire is burning;
|
Man, pull your own weight!
|
Fiyah is burning;
|
Man, pull your own weight!
|
Natty Dread rides again (Natty Dread rides again);
|
And me say, Go deh, Dready! Go deh! (go deh, go deh)
|
Oh ride, Natty, ride! (Dread rides again)
|
And go deh, Dready! (Go deh, go deh)
|
Ridin' through the storm,
|
Riding through the calm (go deh, go deh).
|
Oh ride, Natty, ride!
|
Go deh, Dready, go deh!
|
Ride, Natty, ride!
|
Go deh, Dready, do deh! [fadeout]
