I had a vision last night That I was walking on a street of pure gold This street that I saw Is where I and I should have been So why don't we stand up and fight for our rights Dreadlocks the time is now Stand up fight for your rights Or you ain't gonna get your culture man Roots natty, don't give up - hold on If I am wrong, be not afraid to say so Is there any difference between the black and white? We are all of one skin - same blood, same soul But there are some who think dreadlocks don't count Dreadlocks the time is now... NOTE: This song was later to be re-cut as "Dreadlocks, The Time Is Now" on "Proverbial Reggae"
