Burning Spear - Hey Dready

When some people see a Rastaman
Not knowing his name like any other man
The first thing they say is: "Hey Dready"

Some Rastaman don't like the name, Dready
I am happy with the name Rastaman
I am happy with the name, Dready
I have no intention to criticize my brethren
Have no intention to criticize my sistren

When we wake and see the sun
We should give thanks
If there is no love
Their will never be peace
I have no intention
To see the battlefield

I want to live my life with love
Love for one another
Regardless who they are
Ladies and gentlemen, brethren and sistren

When some people see a Rastaman
Not knowing his name like any other man
The first thing they say is: "Hey Dready"

When the people say "Hey Dready"
It's not they're saying they hate Dready
It's more like they're saying they love Dready

Hey Dready is no discrimination,
Hey Dready is the same man
The younger people like to say Dready

We've been holding up this faith, all these years
And the people will be there to see Dready
We've been holding up this faith, all these years
And the people will be there to see Dready
Hey Dready

When some people see a Rastaman
Not knowing his name like any other man
The first thing they say is: "Hey Dready"

We've got to be ready, moving as Dready
We've got to be close, moving as Dready
We've got to be sure, moving as Dready

We've got to be ready, moving as Dready
We've got to be close, moving as Dready
We've got to be sure, moving as Dready

When some people see a Rastaman
Not knowing his name like any other man
The first thing they say is: "Hey Dready"
Hey Dready, hey Dready

I want to live my life with love
Love for one another,
Regardless who they are
Ladies and gentlemen, brethren and sistren.

When some people see a Rastaman
Not knowing his name like any other man
The first thing they say is: "Hey Dready"
Hey Dready..
