Little Roy - Samba

Little Roy - Samba (the story of a rastaman)
Record date : 1981

Samba is goin' to school
Samba under parents is ruled
straight under parents his guidance
but Samba no fool to ask Jah for protection
then Samba comin' home
comin home with the eyes dem red
then Samba comin' home
and he's nattin' up his head
and he's dread
so dread

so his ma and his pa and his teacher
claim Samba to look for every Job
tryin to comprehend but they just could not understand
tryin to comprehend but the natty just won't let go
Then Mama turned and say
you comin home with your eyes dem red
then papa turned and say
the boy is turning a natty dread
and he's dread
so dread

why you're actin' so???

so they cut down on his bus fee
and lock off Samba's lunch money
goin' to school, workin every day
and food in the day time they 'vn't got any to share
then Samba turned and say
you're ma family, but your judgement a go dread
you're my family, you can't stand even from being a dread
