Lyrics

[Intro:]
 Ha ha ha ha now this one is coming from Lt stichie
 And only meant to be humorous I don't mean to cause no fuss
 Dedicated to all natty dreadlocks
 Cah natty dreadlocks different from rasta man zeen
 Follow now come now!
 [Chorus:]
 Di natty dreadlocks have to face the type a living
 When babylon see him pon di street him naaah... left him
 Dreadlocks have to face the type a living
 When babylon see him pon di street him nah left him st-d-d-ding dang
 Dreadlocks have to face the type a living
 When babylon see him pon di street him nah left him
 [Verse 1:]
 In a country natty dread doing some farming
 All kind a things di natty dread a locks planting
 Like banana, calaloo and pumpkin, dasheen and cocoa
 Pop chow and plantain, okra and peppa and all kind a seasoning
 When di dread waan money di dread do some selling
 Early and bright one saturday morning inna bag fi dread put
 Calaloo, peppa and pumpkin
 Put it pon him bicycle and start di riding
 Him reach di main road di dread start di shouting
 People people selassie son coming
 And I man have all type a things selling
 Like ilaloo ipa and yumpkin
 Buy it out now becah you soon can't get nothing now
 [Chorus:]
 Di natty dreadlocks have to face the type a living
 When babylon see him pon di street him naaah... left him
 Dreadlocks have to face the type a living
 When babylon see him pon di street him nah left him st-d-d-ding dang
 Dreadlocks have to face the type a living
 When babylon see him pon di street him nah left him
 [Verse 2:]

 Buck up pon a police man di police man stop him
 Di police man seh dreadlocks where you going hear di dread

 Every when you si rasta pickney you nuh trouble him jah!
 Lick him with thunder and lightning
 Di police man stand up with a dead with laughing

 Di police man serious and stop di smiling
 But di dread think di police man joking
 Di police man seh dreadlocks you hear me what you selling

 [Chorus:]
 Di natty dreadlocks have to face the type a living
 When babylon see him pon di street him naaah... left him

 [Verse 3:]
 But babylon use di baton and lick him hear di dreadlocks

 But at that time babylon ready fi lick him
 Drape up di dreadlocks and then him handcuff him
 And carry him down a station and babylon trim him
 Fling him inna cell them would a kill him with beating
 Di dread inna di cell with a wholeheap a shouting
 A bad bwoy seh dreadlocks stop di shouting
 And would a kill di natty dreadlocks with beating hear di dread
 Selassie is not sleeping til I and I must left out ya so a morning
 A bad bwoy seh dreadlocks nuh badda seh nothing
 Or else we gwaan give you another piece a beating
 A bad bwoy use a jail bucket and duck him
 Hold di bucket by di handle and then him dust him
 Di dread look away and them start to rush him
 Them tek him out di cell and carry him go bathe him
 And put him back and give dinner inna di evening
 Then give di dread pork, banana and dumpling hear di dread
 A strict lighter stew I man eating
 Di first day pass and hungry start to kill him hear di dread
 Selassie you son calling, jah you merciful and forgiving
 I gwaan eat di banana and di dumpling
 But don't badda see if I man eat di salt thing
 [Outro:]
 Natty dreadlocks have to face the type a living
 When babylon see him pon di street him naaah... left him
 Dreadlocks have to face the type a living
 When babylon see him pon di street him nah left him
