Uh, natural.. Someone give me the definition
Equals..Dominic and all of his ambition
Telling you that manipulation is no longer a part of me
I was born as a natural child, so that aspect is a part of me
I just go on YouTube and see the real deal
Checking out different channels of people to see how they all feel
The look mostly is never pointed to the public's appeal
Only to the braveness of a person who is willing to be real
Uh, take care of the temple that Jah Rastafari blessed you with
Without such a blessing, the population would probably be stressing it
Innovative minds thinking media gonna steer u wrong
And we the ones that's right, we have no fright, because we was legit all along
We are the subject to Marcus Garvey's song
We sing the anthems n say prayers that's gonna help us live mighty and strong
And if I get displaced by society, well let them fire me
Because soon i'm going to have my own business and I will be the one doing the firing
So let me take care of of my temple that I let fall off track
Now I know what I have to do, sorry for the minor set back
I know i go few n far between the people who are trying to get that
But i strayed away from my own kind, my God.. I'm trying to get back
Uh.. So let me make an organic garden and eat my ital food
Maybe when people see the results
They say yo D, I want to idol u
And then everyone becomes a fan once i lend a helping hand
But see no one likes tough love
They run away from rough love
Then they mad because i rather not manipulate this crown on my head
My hair..
I rather let it blossom upside down like flowers sprouting from the air
I rather see it matty n natty so i can be a natty dread-lock
N let them grow long, never telling a single dread stop
All mighty, Selassie, Marley, and Garvey
Rasta leaders of today and tomorrow
My idols most likely
I think the concept is beautiful
Live it everyday like its a ritual
Spliff never to the mouth but my essential oils are herbitual
My methods and my logic they all may seem a little difficult
But they are the naturalist of things man
Only because they're natural
And if u ever second guess this earthly medication i am taking
I turn my head the other way n say..
No more manipulation!
