Dancin' the dirt streets loaded with song
Nesta Bob Marley, Tuff Gong
Shined like the gold on the lion's ring
Though buried forever, you still sing

Born to the concrete jungle of trench town
Filled with the music of life and delight
Born grey in a world of just black or white
Born with the power of song and insight

Dancin' the dirt streets loaded with song
Nesta Bob Marley, Tuff Gong
Shined like the gold on the lion's ring
Though buried forever, you still sing

That which must be told will be revealed
Those who are in chains are released
When the guns of power and the chains of fear
Are melted together like molten tears

Dancin' the dirt streets loaded with song
Jah's chosen song bird, Tuff Gong
Shined like the gold on the lion's ring
Though buried forever, you still sing

The angel of death takes all to his home
Your invitation had early come
However we see him, Jah comes to guide us
Down the old dirt street -- just because.

Dancin' the dirt streets loaded with song
Nesta Bob Marley, Tuff Gong
Shined like the gold on the lion's ring
Jamaica forever, Rasta King
