Dreadlocks In Moonlight

Lee “Scratch” Perry

A time to sow and a time to reap (Yes, my friend)
The seed you sow, that’s what you shall reap (Again and 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 fi 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 high
That shall never removeth, I-yah
But obideth arrival, Jah Jah

The knife that stick di sheep a go stick di goat (Do you hear?)
How you gonna feel when di 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 di protector of I life
Of whom shall I be afraid? (Yeah)
Hypocrite in a broad daylight, parasite in a 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 fi 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 Jah shackles on your trail
It couldn’t work; it couldn’t work; it couldn’t work
Couldn’t work; couldn’t work
It couldn’t work; it couldn’t work; it couldn’t work; it couldn't work
