Des Ree - Proud To Be Dread Des Ree - Proud To Be Dread |
| 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.
Chorus:
’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 tomorow.
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.
Selassie looks up to the clouds,
he curses hard and shouts out loud.
Remembering his father’s words,
a whisper from the dead.
Chorus:
’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 marthyr suffers,
Look at the 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 up to the moon,
sitting in its silver spoon.
Maybe I should change my job,
be an astronaut instead.
Chorus:
’Cos I’ll be better, I’ll be stronger.
For the truth, I know takes longer
I’ve cunning of the tiger and the
Windsdom of the trees. In my dealings,
I’ll be honest. To myself I make thjs promise.
I’ll release my anger,
’cos I’m proud to be a dread.
