Natty Dread Rise Again

The Congos


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
