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 bredren; I 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 gentlmen, bredren
And sistren
When some people see a
Rastaman, not knowing his
Name like any other man
The first thing they say is
"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!"
I want to live my life
With love
Love for one another
Regardless who they are:
Ladies and gentlmen, bredren
And sistren

When some people see a
Rastaman, not knowing his
Name like any other man
The first thing they say is
"Hey Dready!"
