Yo man, hit me with one of those funky baselines   One baseline at a time      The sun takes a bow for a day well lit   Next act is night with an audience of brothers and sisters   Havin' a celebration of sorts   Meetin' one another, hopin' soon to be lovers      Sisters have always fascinated me   The many shades, the many sizes and features   Such a wide variety of African women   Sometimes leaves me frustrated and speechless      I try not to admire what I can't obtain or have   Things beyond my reach, don't exist to speech   Seein' how I'm a bit shorter than the average man   I patiently wait for someone I can reach      Many sisters don't understand my style   I live my life in an outcast tribe   A tribe that strives to see a brighter day   I foresee that I'll walk with closed eyes, until dawn      Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads      Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads      Rejection is a fear of mine, for one reason or another   But I still asked for a date with this woman   She said, "No", I said ,"Oh"   I forgot there's a gap between the richer and the poorer po'      Slowly, all the shades, sizes and features   Became less different and more the same   Except a certain female with all new features   But I knew not her name      By this time the sun was preparin'   For another appearance, the sky was pure red   The night grabbed the moon and soon   The darkness, yeah, was almost dead      The sky now is orange and the night   Has left the stage with curtains open wide   And the bright sun yawns to signify a glorious bright new day   The glorious day that I would meet, who? Dawn      The natural dread also of the outcast tribe   Knowledgeable enough to understand my style   And as we kiss in the name of rejection   The sky looks at us and warmly smiles      Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads      Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads      Dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads      Yeah, the dread symbolizes the natural growth   Of not just the hair, but also of the mind   And also the bond that keeps us in love   The struggle enhances that bond, throughout time      When I see her, I see life   The vast scope of life in her eyes of no wrong   Faith plays a big ass part, I'm still kinda young   But I could feel, I could really run with dawn      Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads      Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads      Dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads      Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the, dawn of the, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads      It's a brand new song by Arrested Development   Entitled 'Dawn Of The Dreads', I hope you enjoy it   But all you can do now is put both feet up in the air   And swing 'em back and forth to the music, thank you      I say, dawn of the dreads   I say, dawn of the dreads   I say, dawn of the dreads   Dawn of the dreads
