They've been waging war and strife
We've been taking life for granted
Misery hath found a resting place
In the heart and souls of mankind
Oh Rastafari
So many times natty dread cry
Truth covered in lies
Weeping and wailing
People dying
Something in the food
Causing jah people to go mad
And something with the bullshit
They been teaching the youngsters
Woiii wipe our transgressions
Some will die before they make a change
Lord dwell deep within my heart
They've been waging war and strife
We've been taking life for granted
Misery hath found a resting place
In the heart and souls of mankind
There's blood upon their shoulders
They've been taking lives
They'll always try to silence
Ones who speak of truths and rights
Well no matter your color
Flesh and bone will pass away
We're really not that different
Lalalalaaaad
Natty dread will stay strong
With a desire for peace inside
And equality for every man
I'm the son of a living God
They've been waging war and strife
We've been taking life for granted
Misery hath found a resting place
In the heart and souls of mankind
If we are gonna move station
Unity has to be foundation
Oh natty dread
Yes lift up unuh head
Not the time for us to be silent
But a time for us to make strides
Don't be caught in self
And play blind
Your heart sees better than your eyesight
They've been waging war and strife
We've been taking life for granted
Misery hath found a resting place
In the heart and souls of mankind
