CLAY AND WATER (I FI)

“Well man me seh me waan see Unity
U.NI.TY … Right ya so man!
Tired a the old bag a ting
The man dem cyan talk together”

Too much talk as I would seh
See dem a fight dung deh so
See dem a trouble dung deh so
Ah so we forward ever, backward never hey!
“A serious ting no man”
I and I come fi unify, nah come fi divide
Tell it to dem!

Satan made outta fire
Natty dread was made outta clay and water
Tell me why you ruff so?
Natty dreadlocks come ya fi cool ya

Don't disturb our unity
Come mek we structure a better kinda livity
Don't you ever trouble our livity
Come mek we set it up and mek it ina unity

Wha make you talk so ruff? Hey?
Wha make you act so tuff?
I wanna know, tell you really wanna know
Wha mek you act so?

Me seh you shouldn't talk if you wanna go trouble,
Tell you Natty dread him haffi trod well humble
I ain't no fool, Dread him cool
Really gonna tell you 'bout the Golden Rule
Whole heap a water cool evil fire
Woy Natty dread him haffi come 'round the corner
Whole heap a water cool evil fire
Jah send I thru!

Satan made outta fire
Natty dread was made outta clay and water
Tell me why you ruff so?
Natty dreadlocks come ya fi cool ya

Don't disturb our unity
Come mek we structure a better kinda livity
Don't you ever trouble our livity
Come mek we set it up and mek it ina unity

Me nah go wrestle with a breda!
Come mek we all stick together!
Come mek we all get together! Uhuh
You chuck up yourself if you trouble me
You say me chuck up my own if I trouble thee
Come mek we reason together!

You nuh fi fight one another…

Serious ting no bother tell dem no lie
Well ain't no troublemaker when you see the I around
Coo deh Natty dread an make me tell it to the I
Well the youth dem see you as an example man

Satan made outta fire
Natty dread was made outta clay and water
Tell me why you ruff so?
Natty dreadlocks come ya fi cool ya

Don't disturb our unity
Come mek we structure a better kinda livity
Don't you ever trouble our livity
Come make we set it up and mek it ina unity

Say so! Wha meek you ruff so?
Say so! Wha meek you tuff so?
Say, say, say so!

Come ya Natty dread a mek we shout it so, hey!
Say so! “Say so!” Wha mek you ruff so?
