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.
