Knappy Dread - Nah Cut Mi Dread [Official Video]




In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos.

English Translation:


I Won't Cut My Dreads

Lots of ghetto kids have nowhere to sleep
No clothes to wear, and no food to eat
So they hustle in the streets
Night after night, and week after week

When they can't find a job, they look for something to rob
How long must we wait for the violence to stop?
Another boy dead, his body on the ground
This circle must be undone

CHORUS:
I won't cut my dreads
Till all of the kids are fed
Till all of them have a bed
Till the violence ends

A lot of young kids are dying
People in church wearing black and crying
Lots of bloodshed, innocent being killed
They won't live to see tomorrow

Gun on your side
It's your decision to shoot it or not
The violence just won't stop
The kids are afraid to go down to the shop

REPEAT CHORUS

Make sure every kid gets something to eat
When they have food, they have no need to steal
Tired of seeing violence in the streets
Remember, God doesn't sleep

Lots of kids joining gangs
When they shoot, the people scatter
Gunshots ring out, and kids cry
It makes no sense at all

The kids are afraid they will be attacked
So they have to watch each others back
Tired of seeing violence every day
The Rasta men say:

REPEAT CHORUS
