Rub, a-rub, rubby-doo-day
Rum-pum-pum a-rum-pum-pum-pum!
Dready got a job to do
And he's got to fulfill that mission, yeah!
To see his hurt - yea-eah yeah! - is their greatest ambition, yeah!
But-a he will survive in this world of competition,
'Cause no matter what they do,
Natty keep on comin' through,
And no matter what they say-ay,
Natty de deh every day. yeah!
Natty Dread rides again,
Through the mystics of tomorrow,
Natty Dread rides again
Have no fear, have no sorrow, yeah!
All and all you see a-gwan
Is to fight against Rastaman.
So they build their world in great confusion
To force on us the devil's illusion.
But the stone that the builder refuse
Shall be the head cornerstone,
And no matter what game they play,
Eh, we got something they could never take away
We got something they could never take away
And it's the fiyah (fiyah)! It's the fiyah (fiyah)!
That's burning down everything
Feel the fiyah (fiyah)! Fiyah (fiyah)!
Only the birds have their wings, yeah!
No time to be deceived
Oh, brothers, you should know and not believe
Jah say this judgment day could never be with water,
No water could put out this fiyah (fiyah)
This fiyah (fiyah)! This fiyah (fiyah)!
This fiyah (fiyah), a yaga y'all! Ride, Natty, ride!
Go deh, Dready, go deh,
'Cause now the fire is out of control,
Panic in the city, wicked weeping for their gold!
Everywhere this fiyah is burning,
Destroying and melting their gold,
Destroying and waisting their souls.
Go ride, Natty, ride!
Go deh, Dready! Go deh!
Tell you what: now the people gather on the beach
And the leader try to make a speech,
But the Dreadies understandin' that it's too late
A-fiyah is burning
Man, pull your own weight!
Fiyah is burning
Man, pull your own weight!
Natty Dread rides again (Natty Dread rides again)
And me say, Go deh, Dready! Go deh! (go deh, go deh)
Oh
