lyrics

JAH Rastafari! nyahbingi most high 'n I 'n I 'n I!

If one and one make two, and two and two make four
Then I know the caterpillar and the butterfly coming through the very same door
Can't stay that way forever man, don't you feel strange
Time to stop crawling around, time to make a change
Has your mind stopped growing, satisfied with silicon(e) age
Ol' pirate time is running out, repent and change your ways, hey!

See the caterpillar baldhead...see the caterpillar baldhead
Go deh butterfly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread

So mister caterpillar put on your wings, put on your wings and fly
Fly so high 'til I 'n I looking down at the sky
Take a look at the real situation then you will know why, why we need love and righteousness
right here on earth for I 'n I, hey!

See the caterpillar baldhead...see the caterpillar baldhead
Go deh butterfly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread, hey!

One a dem younger, the other one wiser
One building nuclear bomb(s), the other spread his wings and sing JAH song, hey
Singing JAH song a butterfly, singing JAH song got to sing JAH song, yeah

I see thousands and thousands of lost souls everyday
Never finding true happiness, hopes and dreams gone astray
So listen all ye angels, got to take an oath
Take an oath not to stunt our growth, put on your rainbow coat, hey!

See the caterpillar baldhead...see the caterpillar baldhead, mi seh fi...
Go deh butterly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread, hey!

One a dem younger, the other one wiser
One building nuclear bomb(s), the other spread his wings and sing JAH song, hey
Singing JAH song a butterfly, singing JAH so-oo-ong got to sing JAH song, yeah

I read about Sodom and Gomorrah in a biblical story
the city where Lot's wife lost her power and her glory
Got to strive for our more, just can't settle for less
The wicked are cursed and JAH children, His children are blessed

See the caterpillar baldhead...see the caterpillar baldhead
Go deh butterfly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread
See the caterpillar baldhead...see the caterpillar baldhead
Go deh butterfly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread

Mi seh fi go deh butterfly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread
And then you see the caterpillar baldhead...see the caterpillar baldhead
I say you see the caterpillar baldhead...see the caterpillar baldhead
And then you go deh butterfly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread
Just like a congo butterfly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread
Mystic butterfly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread
And then you go deh butterfly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread
Roots natty butterfly natty dread...go deh butterfly natty dread
