Rastaman
live up, Bongoman don't give up
Congoman live up, Bingyman don't give up
Keep your culture, don't be afraid
Of the vulture, grow your dreadlock
Don't be afraid of the wolf pack
Rastaman live up, Bingyman don't give up
Congoman live up, Bongoman don't give up |

David slew
Goliath with a sling and a stone
Samson slew the Philistines with a donkey jawbone |
1
Samuel 17:50 - So David
prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and
with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew
him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
Judges 15:15-16
- And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put
forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand
men therewith. And Samson said, With the jawbone
of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an
ass have I slain a thousand men. |
Iyaman live up,
Rastaman don't give up
Bingyman live up, Congoman don't give up
Trodding thru creation, in a irie meditation |
|
| Seen many
visions, in a this yah armageddon |
Acts
2:17 - And it shall come to
pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out
of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men
shall see visions, and your old men shall dream
dreams:
Revelation 16:16-7
- And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the
seventh angel poured out his vial into the air;
and there came a great voice out of the temple of
heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. |
Rastaman live
up, Congoman don't give up
Rastaman live up, Natty Dread no give up
Saw it in the beginning
So shall it be in this iwa (time) |
|
And they fallen
in confusion
Well a just a step from Babel Tower |
Genesis
11:9 - Therefore is the name of
it called Babel; because the LORD did there
confound the language of all the earth: and from
thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the
face of all the earth.
Note:
'Babel' (i.e. Babylon) sounds like the Hebrew
word for 'confused'. |
Rastaman live
up, Congoman no give up (repeat)
Grow your dreadlocks
Don't be afraid of the wolf pack
A tell you, one man a walking
And a billion man a sparking
Rastaman live up, Bingyman don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up |
