(Dread)
(Dread, dreadlocks inna bongo I)
Yeah, you know
Natty just got re-seven street (yeah)
'Cause I get there but you got to be there
Yeah (yeah)

(Ready, ready)

Dread, natty dread now (natty dread)
A dreadlock congo bongo I (natty dread)
Natty dreadlock in a babylon (natty dread)
A dreadlock congo bongo I (natty dread)

Oh, children get your culture (natty dread)
And don't stay there and gesture (a natty dreadlock)
Or the battle will be hotter (a natty dreadlock)
And you won't get no supper, oh no (a natty dreadlock)

Natty dread, natty dread, now (natty dread)
A dreadlock congo bongo I (natty dread)
Natty dreadlock in a babylon (natty dread)
Oh, roots natty, roots natty (natty dread)

And then I walk up the first street (natty dread)
And then I walk up to second street to see (natty dread)
And then I trod on through third street (natty dread)
And then I talk to some dread on fourth street (natty dread)

Natty dreadlock in a fifth street (natty dread)
And then I skip one fence to sixth street (natty dread)
I've got to reach a seventh street (natty dread)
Natty dreadlock bingy bongo I (natty dread)

Natty dread, natty dread, now (natty dread)
Oh, roots natty, roots natty (natty dread)

(Ah-ah) oh, natty, natty
Natty 21, 000 miles away from home
(Ah-ah) oh, natty, natty
And that's a long way for natty to be from home

Eh, don't care what the world say (natty dread)
I and I couldn't never go astray (natty dread)
Just like a bright and sunny day (natty dread)
Oh, we're gonna have things our way (natty dread)

And if a egg natty inna di red (natty dread)
If a egg natty inna di red (natty dread)
Natty dread, natty dread, now (natty dread)
Oh, roots natty, roots natty (natty dread)
Oh, roots natty, roots natty (natty dread)

Natty dread, natty dread, now (natty dread)
Oh, natty dread, natty dread, now (natty dread)

Yeah (yeah)
