Lyrics

Dread, my people
Hear the voice of the sounds of federation
That's all the gathering of the natty dread
All weakheart shall drop, blood deh!
When I was a clean-face man
They used to know my name
But now that I'm a dreadlocks man
They don't know me anymore
Ala, ala, ala, alabama
The time has come again
Kings of kings and lords of lords
Conquering the tribe of Judah (Uh-huh)
But now that I'm a dreadlocks man
All my friends turn against I
But time has come that they all should fall around
I no check fi fall around, I-ya dread, I-ya dread, I-ya dread
Now they know that that's the truth about I and I and I, and I
Them dread in a this day, I dread, I say freedom amongst myself
That all my bredrin shall see one day that I am a Rastaman
I-ya dread, I-ya dread, I-ya dread, yeah
My parents only want to see me
In some white shirt and neck tie around my neck
I-ya dread, I no defend vanity, my bredrin (Uh yeah)
Don't judge a man by the way he looks
Judge him by its ways ('Cause)
Ala, ala, ala, alabama
The time has come again
