Black people, we have been stripped, robbed of our name, our language and our culture

Beaten and robbed of our religion

'Til we wonder will we ever love again

Dreadlock dread, natty dread, natty Congo

Are we will really ever love again?

Living in this land, it is pure confusion

Dreadlock dread, natty dread, natty Congo

All I see is pure frustration

Dreadlock dread, natty dread, natty Congo

We can not walk the streets of night in peace

Dreadlock dread, natty dread, natty Congo

And mi dread here saying that you are the thieves

Dreadlock dread, natty dread, natty Congo

Lift up your head natty dread, natty Congo

Dreadlock dread, natty dread, natty Congo

Hold up your head natty dread, natty Congo

Keep your dread, natty keep your culture

Keep your dread, natty know your culture

Keep your dread, natty know your culture

A keep your dread, natty know yourself now

Keep your dread, natty know your culture, know your culture

Righteousness stand and it must always stay

Dreadlock dread, natty dread, natty Congo

Natty dread, natty Congo, natty dread, natty Congo

Dreadlock dread, natty dread, natty Congo

Natty dread, natty dread, natty dread, natty dread, natty Congo

Dreadlock dread, natty dread, natty Congo

Keeping in di roots and di roots have fi feel

Dreadlock dread, natty dread, natty Congo

Humble thyself and Jah Jah will like that

Keep your dread, natty know your culture
