why am I a rasta man
many people see I many people ask?
why am I a rasta man

its because of the babyloon
and the sit uati on
when I was a boy about eight years old
there was a surtain rasta man
and he love all the children
and he treated us like a man
even the little children than no one cared

and he gave us food and treated everyone
with a s pecial love

but he tought I the love
to give to everyone
many people see I many people ask I?

to each and everyone
one satuarday morning
a special thing happend to this man
he moved out of babyloon
Him take away the rastaman
to the root of him herb and the meat of HIM fruit
and throw it in a van
and staight up brother for ten years
I never see the rastaman
they took him to general penetentry and
send him back as a valid man
but GOD could not change him his mind
cause in that prison was just his body, man, oh

why am I a rastaman
no matter how hard the battle be
I still have JAH in my hand
many people see I many people ask I?
why am I a rastaman

and we would use a true bird, man

trooding on I being am a man

why am I a rastaman
am here to prove and testify
about our prophecy
everyone who see I, everyone ask I

and it cant be no other wise man
everyone see I, everyone ask I?

I love my brothers and I sisters
and I can not give up a tall man
Brother Brown, brother Duke, brother John,
brothers stand up Man
I use to hear them beat the drums and sing
there in the forest land
many people see I many people ask I
why am I a rastaman
I love the beat of the nayabing that

many people see I, many people ask I
why am I a rastaman
