I never know, but I know now,
I never know, but I know now.
Why the heathens them a fight I so,
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
They sit in council against I&I
We have become a scorn unto them
We have been oppressed and despised by the heathens,
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
They give a strong arm, they take the rights,
And them they fight with all of their might,
They brutalize and they scandalize,
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Oh yeah, it's just because I'm a Rastaman.
They give us the wrong and they take the right
And them they fight with all of their might,
They brutalize and they scandalize,
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
They sit and take us against I&I
We have become a scorn unto them
We have been oppressed and despised by the heathens,
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
It's just because I'm a hopeful man,
It's just because I'm a hopeful one.
They sit and take us against I&I,
It's just because I'm a hopeful man,
It's just because I'm a hopeful one,
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
