Why Am I A Rastaman?

Why Am I A Rastaman? lyrics with English Translations





A big question posed to me daily on the street Many want to know the reason why I am a Rastaman
Many people see I, many people ask I Why am I a Rastaman? Many people see I, many people ask Why am I a Rastaman?
It's because of the Babylon and the situation It's because of the Babylon and the situation
When I was a boy about eight years old There was a certain Rastaman And he love all the children And he treated us like a man
Even the little children that no one cares for He called up everyone And he gave us fruit and treated everyone With a special love
Many people see I, many people ask I Why am I a Rastaman? But he taught I the love To give to everyone
Many people see I, many people ask I Why am I a Rastaman? There is no better way to express my love To each and everyone
One Saturday morning A special thing happened to this man Here come mystery Babylon He take away the Rastaman
To the root of him herb and the meat of him fruit And throw it in a van And straight up brother for a trillion years I never see the Rastaman
They took him to general penitentiary And then send him back as a baldhead man But that could not change him, his mind was not in prison Was only his body, man, oh
Many people see I, many people ask I Why am I a Rastaman? No matter what the battle be I still have Jah in my hand
Many people see I, many people ask I Why am I a Rastaman? How sweet the name of Jah Jah sound To every righteous Rastaman
And the same old Rastaman Told me pounds, shillings and things Would come out of circulation And we would use a true bird, man
And I have seen, seven years after that It was no use man Donkey, horses and cross keeper Trodding upon he a penny man
Everyone see I, everyone ask I Why am I a Rastaman? I'm here to prove and to testify about prophecy
Everyone who see I, everyone ask I Why am I a Rastaman? John the Baptist, Marcus Garvey and Christ They was a Rastaman
Everyone see I, everyone ask I Why am I a Rastaman? I vowed the vow of a Nazarite And I can't be no otherwise man
Everyone see I, everyone ask I Why am I a Rastaman? I love my brothers and I sisters And I can not give up a tall man
Brother Brown, brother Chris Brother John, brothers stand up, man I use to hear them beat the drums and sing Way in the forest land, hey
Everyone see I, everyone ask I Why am I a Rastaman? I love the beat of the Nyahbinghi that calls on creation
Everyone see I, everyone ask I Why am I a Rastaman? The truth is an offence but not a sin You coulda smile like a..
