Fly Rasta (feat. U-Roy)

Now this is Daddy U-Roy

Upside the man called Ziggy Marley

What the musical sound say

Fly rasta (Fly rasta)

Now fly rasta (Fly rasta)

Dreader than dread (Fly rasta)

Natty got to hold up yo head, do

Redder than red (Fly rasta)

Say, Natty rougher than rough

Take that vow of separation onto the Lord

Drink no strong drink, see no dead

And all the days of your vow of separation

No razor shall come upon your head

Fly rasta (Fly rasta)

(Mighty king Selassie)

Fly rasta (Fly rasta)

(So we say)

Rooter than root (Fly rasta)

(Natty ever speak the truth)

Truther than truth (Fly rasta)

(Almighty Jah Jah)

Now there's an evil which we've seen under the sun

It is common among men

For what have the fool more than the wise

Man can't live alone on bread

(No way, as I would say)

Delight in the laws of Jah Jah (Natty dread)

(On to the most high Jah)

And on Jah meditate day and night

(Liveth and reigneth in the hearts of every man itinually)

Like the tree planted by water

(I say back off with you ism, skism and your folly

Who's leaves never wither

Oh, fly rasta (Fly rasta)

Now, fly rasta (Fly rasta)

Dreader than dread (Fly rasta)

(So Natty redder than red yow)

Oh, it redder than red (Fly rasta)

(Give thanks and praise each and every day)

But I say blessed is the man

That walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly

Nor standeth in the way of sinners, like I would say

Take the vow of separation

(And all the days of your vows)

Let no razor come up on your head

Flash your Natty dread! Fly Natty dread!

So we tougher than tough, rougher than rough

So we got the musical stuff as I would say

Fly rasta, so fly rasta (Fly rasta)

Fly rasta, now fly rasta (Fly rasta)

Now it red (Natty ever speak the truth yow)

Lawd it redder than red (Natty don't tell no lie)

Now fly rasta (Natty redder than red yow)

Oh, fly rasta (Run weh Babylon, tell it to dem)

Root is of the root (Say Natty redder than red yow)

Now the truth is of the truth (Fly rasta)

(Say Natty heavier than led)

When I say Natty, rougher than rough and tougher than tough as I would say

Yeah, we got the musical stuff, but that ain't no bluff, 'cause I would tell it to ya

Yeah, Jah, Jah, quickly stand up firm, but cannot be eaten by no worm

Yeah, 'cause I will tell them each and every day for my sound to lead the way

So you fi jump up now dread

And now fly rasta

Yeah, as I would say, love is all I've got

Got a hitch block from the top, 'cause Babylon's plotting, don't turn your back

(Man, tell it to me)

Like I would say, let love shine, Babylon before you get down through a break up state

Fly rasta (Fly rasta)
