tafari tries to get a job,
ten letters behind his name
born up in the cornfields,
tafari doesn't know the game
the game has no respect for life
even less for rules
winners only need apply,
sorry no room for fools
tafari looks up to the stars
and wonders if there's life on mars
some say, he should shave his head,
but he's proud to be a dread
'cos i'll be better, i'll be stronger,
for the truth, i know takes longer
i've the cunning of the tiger
and the wisdom of the trees
i won't be sad, refuse the sorrow
i look forward to tomorrow
i'll release my anger
'cos i'm proud to be a dread
selassie tries to find a home
to rest his weary head
a place where he can take his girl.
to share his spiritual bed
when he's greeted at the door
the sign has changed its tune
though his queen is full of child
sorry, there's no room
sselassie looks up to the clouds
he curses hard and shouts out loud
remembering his father's words,
a whisper from the dead
'cos in this life you have to take a chance
or why else live at all
'cos in this life, to climb a mountain,
sometimes expect to fall
'cos in this life, nothing comes easy,
if it does, it has a price
'cos in this life a martyr suffers
look at Jesus Christ
Leo faces many trials,
but holds his head up high
he won't allow the hatred
to make his spirit die
Leo looks upto the moon
sitting in its silver spoon
maybe i should shange my job,
be an astronaut instead.
'cos i'll be better, i'll be stronger,
for the truth, i know takes longer
i've the cunning of the tiger
and the wisdom of the trees
in my dealings, i'll be honest
to myself i make this promise
i'll release my anger,
'cos i'm proud to be a dread

總是這樣
有些人 你一再巧遇
有些人 卻
一輩子錯過
