Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Pa-da

Rubby-dubby-doo

Rom-pom-pom-prrr-rom-pom-pom

Ooh yeah

[Verse 2]

Dready got a job to do

And he's got to fulfill that mission, yeah

To see his hurt will be their greatest ambition, yeah

But-a we will survive in this world of competition

[Verse 3]

'Cause no matter what they do

Natty keep on comin' through

And no matter what they say

Di dread wi di deh every day

[Verse 4]

Natty dread rides again

Through the mystics of tomorrow

Natty dread rides again

Have no fear, have no sorrow, yeah

[Verse 5]

All and all you see a gwaan

Is the fight against the Rastaman

So they build their world on great confusion

To force on us the devil's illusion

[Verse 6]

But the stone that the builder refuse

Shall be the head cornerstone

And no matter what game they play

We've got something they can never take away

We got something they could never take away

[Verse 7]

And it's the fire (Fire), it's the fire (Fire)

That's burning down everything

Feel the fire (Fire), feel the fire (Fire)

Only the birds have their wings (Yeah)

[Verse 8]

No time to be deceived

Oh brothers, you should know and not believe

Jah say this judgement coulda never be with water

No water can put out this fire (Fire)

This fire (Fire), this fire (Fire)

This fire (Fire), a-yagga-yo

[Verse 9]

Ride, natty, ride

Guh deh, dready, guh deh

'Cause now the fire is out of control

Panic in the city, wicked weeping for their gold

Everywhere the fire is burning

Destroying and melting their gold

Destroying and wasting their souls

[Verse 10]

Go ride, natty, ride

Guh deh, dready, guh deh

Tell you what

Now the people gather on the beach

And the leader try to make a speech

[Verse 11]

Brother dread you can tell them that it's too late

Fire is burning

Man, pull your own weight

Fire is burning

Man, pull your own weight

[Verse 12]

Natty dread rides again

(Natty dread rides again)

And mi seh, guh deh, dready, guh deh

(Guh deh, guh deh)

Oh ride, natty, ride!

(Natty dread rides again)

Him guh deh, dready, guh deh

(Guh deh, guh deh)

[Verse 13]

Ridin' through the storm

Riding through the calm

(Guh deh)

Oh, ride, natty, ride

Guh deh, dready, guh deh

[Verse 14]

'Cause now the fire is out of control

Panic in the city, wicked weeping for their gold

Everywhere the fire is burning

Destroying and melting their gold

Destroying and wasting their souls

[Verse 15]

Oh ride, natty, ride

Guh deh, dready, guh deh

Tell you what

Now the people gather on the beach

And the leader try to make a speech
