Lyrics

Them kill Lumumba for his own-a-rights But them can't kill the Rasta Man at all, 'tall, 'tall Them can't kill the Rasta Man at all That's the strangest man I've seen (That's because he's a Rasta Man) Having the mark of a Nazarene (That's because he's a Rasta Man) He carries a prophetical message (That's because he's a Rasta Man) Borning out of time and out of age (That's because he's a Rasta Man) The Rasta come from Zion Rasta Man a Lion (Oh what a Rasta Man) The Rasta come from Zion Rasta Man a Lion (I-rie what a Rasta Man) Remember Jeremiah children (He was a Rasta Man) Or even Isiah (He was a Rasta Man) Moses in the pit of mud (He was a Rasta Man) Trodding from Buzrak with his garments dipped in blood (He was a Rasta Man) Oh what a dread, dread whola one The Rasta Man come from Zion What a strange, what a dread, but a righteous man The Rasta Man, him come from Zion What a dread, dread up-full one The Rasta Man come from Zion What a dread-black, dread-lock one The Rasta Man come from Zion Lightening! Seven years years of famine for seven years of plenty Is like two grains of wheat for one bale of barley A hand-full of corn shall be on the hillside And with that you've got to be satisfied It was Elijah who prayed that it did not rain (He was a Rasta Man) He prayed and the rains came again (He was a Rasta Man) It was Joshua who commanded the sun stand still (He was a Rasta Man) He did that according to his Master's will (Who was a Rasta Man) What a dread, dread whola one The Rasta Man come from Zion What a strange, what a dread, but a up-full one The Rasta Man come from Zion What a black, dread up-full one The Rasta Man come from Zion What a strange, dread-lock one The Rasta Man come from Zion What a dread, what a dread, what a whola one The Rasta Man come from Zion
