Lyrics

Them kill limumba 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 nazarine
(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) (repeat)

Remember jeremiah children
(He was a rasta man)
Or even iziah
(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 elijha 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
What a dread, dread lightening one
The rasta man come from zion
What a strange dread, dread earthquake one
The rasta man come from zion
