Dreadlocks Thing

[00:02.30] Rasta is more than dreadlocks
[00:05.03] Rasta is more than the length of your dread
[00:08.05] Rasta is a whole overstanding, a whole background
[00:11.48] and knowledge you know?
[00:13.35] Projection of rastafari gets flakey flakey
[00:17.65] and a that we a defend (no way)

[01:39.29] One society based on freedom, truth and equal rights
[01:43.93] Justice for all people no matter bout your race gwan!
[01:49.57]

[02:00.07] Don’t bring rasta in your killing and crime
