Lee "Scratch" Perry - Dreadlocks in moonlight

 
1
Copied!
A time to sow and a time to reap, yes, my friend
The seed you sow, that’s what you shall reap
??? again
You light the fire, to burn this Nyah
But it no work out, you’re just a weakheart

You send your big neck police friends fe come cool I up
But it no work
For Jah Jah walk right in and cool up the scene
You get a jerk
Far better put they trust in Jah
Shall like be Mount Zion-I
That shall never removeth, iyah
But abideth for-iwa, Jah Jah

The knife that stick de sheep a go stick de goat, do you hear?
How you gonna feel when de knife is at your throat?
For sowing bring reaping, and reaping is harves'
The seed that you sow a yard that’s what you shall reap, yeah

Do you hear?
Jah is I light and salvation, whom shall I fear?
Jah de protector of I life, of whom shall I be afraid?
Hypocrite inna broad daylight, parasite inna dim light
Dreadlocks in moonlight, baldhead at sunrise, oh

Jah Jah is I shepherd, I shall not want
Do you hear? Do you see?
Jah Jah is I shepherd I shall not want

You send your big neck police friends fe come cool I up
But it no work
For Jah Jah walk right in and cool up the scene
You get a jerk, you get a jerk, it no work
You set your struggle (?)
Little did you know
Jah put shackles on your trail
It didn’t work
It couldn’t work.....
