Grow your head locks, some say dread locks

You know you know you the rastaman I say
Congo dread locks, you are the Igher One

saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When either man or woman shall
separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite,
to separate themselves unto the LORD:

separation there shall no razor come upon his
head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which
he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall
be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of
his head grow.
