《Proud To Be A Dread》歌词

[00:00:00] Proud To Be A Dread - Des'ree

[00:00:01] Tafari tries to get a job

[00:00:04] Ten letters behind his name

[00:00:07] Born up in the cornfields

[00:00:10] Tafari doesn't know the game

[00:00:12] The game is no respect for life

[00:00:16] Even less for rules

[00:00:18] Winners only need apply

[00:00:21] Sorry no rooms for fools

[00:00:24] Tafari looks up to the stars and

[00:00:27] Wonders if there's life on Mars

[00:00:30] Some say he should shave his head

[00:00:33] But he's proud to be a dread

[00:00:35] 'Cos I'll be better I'll be stronger

[00:00:38] For the truth I know takes longer

[00:00:41] I've the cunning of the tiger

[00:00:44] And the Wisdom of the trees

[00:00:47] I won't be sad refuse the sorrow

[00:00:50] I look forward to tomorrow

[00:00:54] I'll release my anger

[00:00:56] 'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

[00:00:59] Selassie tries to find a home

[00:01:02] To rest his weary head

[00:01:05] A place where he can take his girl

[00:01:09] To share this spiritual bed

[00:01:11] When he's greeted at the door

[00:01:14] The sign has changed his tune

[00:01:17] Though the queen is full of child

[00:01:20] Sorry there's no room

[00:01:23] Selassie looks up to the clouds

[00:01:26] He curses hard and shouts out loud

[00:01:29] Remembering his father's words

[00:01:31] A whisper from the dead

[00:01:34] 'Cos I'll be better I'll be stronger

[00:01:37] For the truth I know takes longer

[00:01:40] I've the cunning of the tiger

[00:01:43] And the wisdom of the trees

[00:01:45] I won't be sad refuse the sorrow

[00:01:48] I look forward to tomorrow

[00:01:52] I'll release my anger

[00:01:55] 'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

[00:01:57] 'Cos in this life you have to take a chance

[00:02:01] Why else live at all

[00:02:03] 'Cos in this life to climb a mountain

[00:02:06] Sometimes expect to fall

[00:02:09] 'Cos in this life nothing comes easy

[00:02:12] If it does it has a price

[00:02:15] 'Cos in this life a martyr suffers

[00:02:19] Look at Jesus Christ

[00:02:21] Leo faces many trials

[00:02:25] But hold hid head up high

[00:02:28] He won't allow the hatred

[00:02:30] To Make his spirit cry

[00:02:33] Leo looks up to the moon

[00:02:36] Sitting in its silver spoon

[00:02:39] Maybe I should change my job

[00:02:42] Be an astronaut instead

[00:02:44] 'Cos I'll be better I'll be stronger

[00:02:47] For the truth I know takes longer

[00:02:50] I've the cunning of the tiger

[00:02:53] And the wisdom of the trees

[00:02:56] I won't be sad refuse the sorrow

[00:02:59] I look forward to tomorrow

[00:03:02] I'll release my anger

[00:03:05] 'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

[00:03:26] I'll release my anger

[00:03:28] 'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

[00:03:31] 'Cos I'll be better I'll be stronger

[00:03:34] For the truth I'll be a seeker

[00:03:37] I've the cunning of the tiger

[00:03:40] And the wisdom of the trees

[00:03:43] In my dealings I'll be honest

[00:03:46] To myself I make this promise
