(verse 1)
mi neva have much money inna mi pocket
and mi neva finish school
but you no need to feel compassionate of mi
don't teach I am a fool
cause I've been writing my own stories
and I've been doing my own trip
neva believe inna no institution
to set my mind free

cause what was left
must come right
mi still a win the fight
cause what goes up
must come down
here comes my song

(chorus)
global war
so mi tell I am
forward natty dreadlocks
global war
so mi tell I am
forward Congo rastaman
global war
so mi tell I am
forward natty dreadlocks
global war
so mi tell I am
forward Congo rastaman


(verse 2)
so dem neva like my spirituality
and dem neva like my face
so dem try wid di enemies necessary
just to get mi outta di race
cause mi neva like their cries
and mi neva accept their cross
I neva feel fi dem meditation
my choice was not a last

(chorus)
global war
so mi tell I am
forward natty dreadlocks
global war
so mi tell I am
forward Congo rastaman
global war
so mi tell I am
forward natty dreadlocks
global war
so mi tell I am
forward Congo rastaman

forward natty dreadlocks
forward Congo rastaman
forward natty dreadlocks
forward Congo rastaman

(verse 1)
mi neva have much money inna mi pocket
and mi neva finish school
but you no need to feel compassionate of mi
don't teach I am a fool

(chorus)
global war
so mi tell I am
forward natty dreadlocks
global war
so mi tell I am
forward Congo rastaman
global war
so mi tell I am
forward natty dreadlocks
global war
so mi tell I am
forward Congo rastaman
