Natty Dread - Israel Vibration Lyrics 

Nowdays them a braid, twist and them a plait, I&I natty dreadlocks

Nowdays them a braid, twist and them a plait, but I&I natty dreadlocks

Remember way back when, when rasta had no friend

When he was down in his luck and couldn't find a buck

Babylon and his friends, there ain't no end

I&I penitentiary 

 

Bad Bwoy (Bad Boys), them a run things (Yeah) I went to jamdown and over foreign

Bad Bwoy (Bad Boys) haffi run things here, enough badman live in a foreign

Shot a glock over inna Matches Lane

Grandmama oh I’ll ready in pain

Trying to get johnny one visa,

say in a foreign life would be easier

Down the lane fire one pop

Now in a foreign, fire big glock

Left from York, you call him exporty,

now him return, you call him deported

Bad Bwoy (Bad Boys) haffi run things here, enough badman live in a foreign

Bad Bwoy (Bad Boys) haffi run things here, WoWo enough badman live in a foreign

Talk burn when elementary

No body an done a casa boboli

but in the ghetto wish Brooklyn New York,

You can trust shadow in the dark

So you see we juggling' skills, I set up roots in a Cypress Hills

Bad Bwoy (Bad Boys) them a run things here, went a jamdown and inna foreign

Bad Bwoy (Bad Boys) haffi run things here, enough badman live in a foreign

Back in the days this was like a ghost town,

And every day just another shot down,

Eighteen god, Cypress pon lock

Before the nigga man I giga on the block

So you see we juggling' skills, we set up roots inna Cypress Hills

Left from York as an exporty, now him return you'll be calling deported

Bad Bwoy (Bad Boys) haffi run things here, enough badman live in a foreign

Bad Bwoy (Bad Boys) haffi run things here, WoWo enough badman live in a foreign

Remember way back when, when rasta had no friends when he was down and is luck

and couldn't find a buck

Babylon and his friends, there ain't no end I an I penitentiary

them a braid, them a twist, nuff a them a plait but I&I a natty dreadlock

them a braid, them a twist, And nuff a them a plait but I&I a natty dreadlock

Roots Natty Roots Natty Natty Natty I&I a Natty dreadlock

Roots Natty Roots Natty Natty Natty I&I a Natty dreadlock

them a braid, them a twist, nuff a them a plait but I&I a natty dreadlock

them a braid, them a twist, nuff a them a plait but I&I a natty dreadlock

Remember way back when, when Rasta had no friends when he was down and is dough and couldn't find a buck
