Dawn of the Dreads

Yo man, hit me with one of those funky basslines One bassline at a time [Verse 1: Speech] The sun takes a bow for a day well lit Next act is night with an audience of brothers and sisters Having a celebration of sorts Meeting one another Hoping 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 Seeing 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 eyyyyes, until dawn [Hook x2] Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads D-d-d-dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn...of...the dreads D-d-d-dawn of the dreads It's dawn [Speech] 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 featurrrres But I knew not her name By this time the sun was preparing For another appearance the sky was pure red The night grabbed the moon and soon The darkness was almost dead The sky now is orange and the night Has left the stage, the curtains open wide And the bright sun yawns To signify a glorious bright new day The glorious day I would meet 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 [Hook] [Speech] 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 [Hook 2X and break] [Speech] The name is "Dawn of the Dreads" "Dawn of the Dreads" "Dawn of the Dreads", uh-huh It's a brand-new song by Arrested Development Entitled "Dawn of the Dreads" (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! D-D-D-Dawn of the Dreads!
