Natty dread will never run away
No, no, no

Marcus Garvey prophesy seh, oh yeah
Man a guh find him back against the wall, yeah

Yeah, some a guh charge fi arson
An when di right time come, no
Some a guh charge fi murder
An when di law man come
Whoa, some a guh run till dem tumble dung
An when di parson come

Swallowfield a guh be now the battlefield
