They
just a stretch them neck
Across the fences
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
They just a stretch them neck
Across the fences
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
You have got to be clean inside
You have got to be united
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
You have got to have charity
And love within your heart
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
Can't be no prostitute living
You have got to be clean and upful and right
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
Can't be grudgeful nah red eye
Nah licky-licky nah eat swine
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
(Chant)
You've got to have a stretch out hand
To receive in your strange brother
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
The thing can't be too small
To share amongst your brother
Just to see when the Rastaman a come |
|
| I would even be
a footmat in Mount Zion |
Psalm
84:10 - Better is one day in
your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would
rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked. |
And lay down
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
I will beat my drum
And I will sit on the sand on the listening shore
of Jamaica
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
They took me from Africa
And leave us here on a pirate boat
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
My children, children, children
Shall give a testimony of his life
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
We'll beat salvation drum from shore to shore
From door to door
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
Iration drum is not a seed on the rich man table
But on the table of the poor
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
Lick it Dread
Selassie I
To see when the Rastaman a come |
|
Sound ye the
trumpet of Zion
That the inhabitant of Earth may tremble |
Joel
2:1 - Blow ye the trumpet in
Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let
all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the
day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; |
Just to see
when the Rastaman a come
It's not a big sound
Neither a small sound
To see when the Rastaman a come
It's not a jigsaw
Neither a puzzle
To see when the Rastaman a come
Me no have fi have no spliff
Me no have fi have no pipe
To see when the Rastaman a come |
