RASTAMAN A COME
CULTURE
They just a stretch their necks across the fences
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
You have got to clean inside
You have got to be united
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
You have got to have charity
and love within your heart
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
Can't be no prostitute living
You have got to be clean and upfull and right
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
Can't be grudge fool nah red eye
Nah lickie-lickie nah eat swine
Just to see where the Rastman a come
The Heights!
JAH IS POWERFUL
RASTAFARI
JAH IS TERRIBLE
JAH IS POWERFUL
HE SHALL COME IN A NEW NAME
AND IT SHALL BE DREADFUL AND TERRIBLE
JAH!
AND HIS NAME IS JAH
RASTAFARI
WHO LIFT ALL LIGHTNING
WHO SHOOK AND LICK AND TREMBLE ALL EARTH
You've got to a stretch out hand
To recieve in your strange brother
Just to see where the Rastaman a come
The thing can't be too small
To share among your Brother
Just to see where the Rastman a come
I would even be a footman in Mt. Zion
and lay down
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
I will beat my drum
And I will sit on the sand
of the listening shores of Jamaica
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
The me from Africa
And leave us here on a pirate boat
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
My children children children
shall give a testimony of His life
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
We'll beat salvation drum from shore to shore
From door to door
Just to see when the Rastman a come
Iration Drum is not a seed
On the rich man table
But on the table of the poor
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
Lick it Dread
SELASSIE I
To see when the Rastaman a come
Sound Ye the Trumpet of Zion
That the inhabitant shall tremble
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
It's not a big sound
Neither a small sound
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
It's not a jigsaw
Neither a puzzle
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
Me no have fi have no spliff
Me no have fi have no pipe
TOO SEE WHEN THE RASTAMAN A COME
RASTAFARI
