Barrington Levy Black Heart Man Lyrics

Dreadlocks man; dreadlocks man
Long time ago, when my eyes was at my knees (Yes)
If I see a Rasta man, I've just got to be free (Yes)

Everywhere I go; my mommy had to know
People used to say; kid, you don't go astray
Black heart man will take you away

True, I was a youth an' I never know the truth
But, now I've come a man, I've got to understand
That Rasta man, ain't no black heart man
Dreadlocks man
Dreadlocks man, a [?] man
No make no war (Yes)
Dreadlocks man
Dreadlocks man, ye-yeah; ye-yeah
Dreadlocks man (Yes)

When I was a youth an' I never know the truth
But now I come a bigger-bigger man
I've got to understand that Rasta man
A no black heart man (Ye-yeah)
Dreadlocks man
Jah Jah-Jah Jah, have some mercy
Don't give dreadlocks bad name, all the way (Yes)
Oh, give your duty to the Rasta man
Him no hurt, no fight
Him seek truth an' right

Jah Jah, oh-oh
Dreadlocks man Long time ago, my eyes was at my knees
If I see a Rasta man, yes, I've just got to be free
Everywhere I go, my mother had to know (Yes)
People used to say, "Children, don't go astray" (Yes)
Black heart man will take you away (Ye-yeah; ye-yeah)
Dreadlocks man ain't no black heart man
Dreadlocks man speak truth an' right, no blood, no fight

Dreadlocks man
A long time ago, they makin' rumor on the dreadlocks
The dreadlocks man, a robber
An' dreadlocks man is a wicked man
Dreadlocks man is a black heart man
Don't make them the rumor man (Yes)
Dreadlocks man is a truthful man
Speak truth an' right, when I say, dreadlocks man
When I say dreadlocks man, I only mean dreadlocks man
They're dealing with truth and right
I'm not dealing with wolf in a sheep clothing (No-no-no)

Long time ago, natty-natty-natty, can you stay a little free?
Set 'em free, like the bird at the tree, yeah
