Dawn Of The Dreads |
Yo man, hit me with one of those funky baselines |
One baseline at a time |
The sun takes a bow for a day well lit |
Next act is night with an audience of brothers and sisters |
Havin' a celebration of sorts |
Meetin' one another, hopin' soon to be lovers |
Sisters have always fascinated me |
The many shades, the many sizes and features |
Such a wide variety of African women |
Sometimes leaves me frustrated and speechless |
I try not to admire what I can’t obtain or have |
Things beyond my reach, don’t exist to speech |
Seein' how I’m a bit shorter than the average man |
I patiently wait for someone I can reach |
Many sisters don’t understand my style |
I live my life in an outcast tribe |
A tribe that strives to see a brighter day |
I foresee that I’ll walk with closed eyes, until dawn |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Rejection is a fear of mine, for one reason or another |
But I still asked for a date with this woman |
She said, «No», I said,"Oh" |
I forgot there’s a gap between the richer and the poorer po' |
Slowly, all the shades, sizes and features |
Became less different and more the same |
Except a certain female with all new features |
But I knew not her name |
By this time the sun was preparin' |
For another appearance, the sky was pure red |
The night grabbed the moon and soon |
The darkness, yeah, was almost dead |
The sky now is orange and the night |
Has left the stage with curtains open wide |
And the bright sun yawns to signify a glorious bright new day |
The glorious day that I would meet, who? |
Dawn |
The natural dread also of the outcast tribe |
Knowledgeable enough to understand my style |
And as we kiss in the name of rejection |
The sky looks at us and warmly smiles |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads |
Yeah, the dread symbolizes the natural growth |
Of not just the hair, but also of the mind |
And also the bond that keeps us in love |
The struggle enhances that bond, throughout time |
When I see her, I see life |
The vast scope of life in her eyes of no wrong |
Faith plays a big ass part, I’m still kinda young |
But I could feel, I could really run with dawn |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the, dawn of the, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads |
It’s a brand new song by Arrested Development |
Entitled 'Dawn Of The Dreads', I hope you enjoy it |
But all you can do now is put both feet up in the air |
And swing 'em back and forth to the music, thank you |
I say, dawn of the dreads |
I say, dawn of the dreads |
I say, dawn of the dreads |
Dawn of the dreads |
