Chelem - A True Natty Dread

Only the poor man feels the pain

A true natty dreadlocks a true
We've been suffering
A true natty dreadlocks a true
We've been suffering

So long we've been down here
Facing all these problems
They took us away from our fatherland
Then brought us down here where the whip was our only food

All my people down in Africa
They're dying 'cause they just can't find a way
Let's put our hands and heart together
And give them a helping hand
Let's give them a helping hand

A true natty dreadlocks a true
We've been suffering
A true natty dreadlocks a true
We've been suffering

Every day they keep saying the same thing,
"Keep on working, keep working and we will find a way"
We keep on working but still we find no way
But who know the right will do the right

All the people down in Africa
They're dying 'cause they need a helping hand
Let's put our hands and heart together
And give them a helping hand
Let's give them a helping hand

Only the poor man feels the pain

Job was a man who loved Jah
Yet one day his riches and his family were taken away from him
So when you see the children, help the children
'Cause they're gonna rule tomorrow

All my people down in Africa
They're dying 'cause they just can't find a way
Let's put our hands and heart together
And give them a helping hand
Let's give them a helping hand

A true natty dreadlocks a true
We've been suffering
A true natty dreadlocks a true
We've been suffering

We've ben used and refused
We've been trampled on

So long we've been down here
We're facing all these problems
They took us away from our fatherland
Then brought us down here where the whip was our only food

All my people down in Africa
They're dying 'cause they just can't find a way
Let's put our hands and heart together
And give them a helping hand
Let's give them a helping hand
Let's help them if we can
Let's give them a helping hand
Let's help them if we can
Let's give them a helping hand
