Check out the dread
by I-mitri
He sees the sun away every day and he sighs
This Rastaman carries only love in his eyes
On the island that binghi usually resides
With meditation he frees his spirit at nights
Come to reveal Jah truth and chase away the lies
And for all that he never expects no prize
Check out the dread in his life he's so easy,
Lives everywhere, still, prefers where it's breezy
Up north down south, still, even better up hilly
No running water and certainly no telly
To fetch water he must ride a donkey
He waits for rain to take care of the laundry
He catches fish but that man is not fishy
He burns herb in his pipe or hashishi
Takes what he needs from nature, never greedy
His food is never dead its never salty
He lives an active life he's never lazy
Picking the fruit straight from the tree he stay healthy
Through so much knowledge this Ras is truly wealthy
Picking the fruit straight from the tree he stay healthy
Through so much knowledge this Ras is truly wealthy
He sees the sun away every day and he sighs
This Rastaman carries only love in his eyes
On the island that binghi usually resides
With meditation he frees his spirit at nights
Come to reveal Jah truth and chase away the lies
And for all that he never expects no prize
Check out the dread in his life he's so easy,
Lives everywhere, still, prefers where it's breezy
Up north down south, still, even better up hilly
No running water and certainly no telly
To fetch water he must ride a donkey
He waits for rain to take care of the laundry
He catches fish but that man is not fishy
He burns herb in his pipe or hashishi
Takes what he needs from nature, never greedy
His food is never dead its never salty
He lives an active life he's never lazy
Picking the fruit straight from the tree thats how he stay healthy
Through so much knowledge this Ras is truly wealthy
Picking the fruit straight from the tree he stay healthy
Through so much knowledge this Ras is truly wealthy

CounterAction is a UK roots reggae/dub
label.
It aims to provide a vehicle for positive, educational, spiritual creative musical expression contributed by singers and players principally from Leicester and the UK (but not only), particularly taking notice of artists that perhaps have not had enough or as much exposure as deserved.
A true counterAction.
