Bar Baqur - The Way of the Dreadlocks

Di Wise Dread stands tall, yet remains bowed

[Barbaqur]

Inna di beginning, before Babylon's tower,
Di Tao was flowin', full a power
No name could hold it, no thought could mold it
Yet inna everything, it be di true holder

Jah Rastafari, di Tao in motion
Formless form, soundless devotion
Ocean of notion, causing commotion
Emotion's potion, divine promotion

Upfull and downpressed, two sides, one coin
Inity and strife, in di same loin
Join or disjoin, purge or purloin
Di wise ones know: all lines conjoin

Babylon system tink it can cage di Tao
But di wise Dread know: that's not di how
Bow to di now, allow di Tao to plow
Through illusion's veil, make di truth kowtow

Di Empress and Emperor, yin and yang dance
In balance dey pivot, in harmony prance
Chance and circumstance, enhance di trance
Advance, finance, romance - all one glance

Ganja smoke rise like incense to Jah
Each breath a verse in di cosmic Nyah
Far becomes near, and near becomes far
Are we di smoke or di one who ah par?

Di dreads grow long, like di Tao flow strong
Right becomes left, and short becomes long
Belong to di song that's been singing all along
In Zion or Babylon, where do I and I belong?

Di wise Rasta step light pon di earth
For him know each grain hold infinite worth
Mirth and dearth, death and rebirth
Surf di Tao's turf from di day of your birth

Selassie I show di way, like Lao Tzu before
Not by fancy words, but by opening di door
More and more, shore to shore, core to core
Di Tao and di Roots, foreverymore

One Love, One Heart, but infinite faces
Di Tao takes all forms, flows through all places
Races and graces, spaces and traces
We chase di Tao, but it's in our embraces

Don't fight di system, just plant your seed
Di Tao waters all, both flower and weed
Heed di silent creed, di cosmic deed
Indeed, we're freed when we concede

To di flow unseen, di green serene
Between di scenes, di Tao convenes
Preens and careens, by all means
Redeem di dreams our Jah foreseen

Di I-man who knows don't speak too loud
Di Tao dat can be named ain't di true Tao, proud
Shroud or unshroud, in crowd or uncrowd
Di Wise Dread stands tall, yet remains bowed

To di mystery grand, di unseen hand
That ran before time's hourglass sand
Expand, disband, reprimand, command
All bland to grand when you overstand

Inna di beginning, before Babylon's tower
Di Tao was flowin', full a power
No name could hold it, no thought could mold it
Yet inna everything, it be di true holder
