Culture - Rastaman A Come lyrics

rate me

They just a stretch them neck

Across the fences

Just to see when the Rastaman a come

They just a stretch them neck

Across the fences

Just to see when the Rastaman a come

You have got to be 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 upful and right

Just to see when the Rastaman a come

Can't be grudgeful nah red eye

Nah licky-licky nah eat swine

Just to see when the Rastaman a come

(Chant)

You've got to have a stretch out hand

To receive in your strange brother

Just to see when the Rastaman a come

The thing can't be too small

To share amongst your brother

Just to see when the Rastaman a come

I would even be a footmat in Mount Zion

And lay down

Just to see when the Rastaman a come

I will beat my drum

And I will sit on the sand on the listening shore of Jamaica

Just to see when the Rastaman a come

They took 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 Rastaman 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 inhasitant of Earth may tremble

Just to see when the Rastaman a come

It's not a big sound

Neither a small sound

To see when the Rastaman a come

It's not a jigsaw

Neither a puzzle

To see when the Rastaman a come

Me no have fi have no spliff

Me no have fi have no pipe

To see when the Rastaman a come
