| [00:00.648] | Why Am I a Rastaman -Culture |
| [00:03.685] | A big question posed to me daily on the street |
| [00:08.604] | Many want to know the reason why |
| [00:11.397] | I am a rastaman |
| [00:14.131] | Many people see I many people ask I |
| [00:16.786] | Why am I a rastaman |
| [00:19.968] | Many people see I many people ask |
| [00:22.818] | Why am I a rastaman |
| [00:25.304] | It ´s because |
| [00:26.859] | Of the Babyloon |
| [00:29.339] | And the situation |
| [00:31.483] | It ´s because |
| [00:32.814] | Of the Babyloon |
| [00:35.80] | And the situation |
| [00:37.882] | When I was a boy about eight years old |
| [00:40.766] | There was a certain rastaman |
| [00:43.657] | And he love all the children |
| [00:46.248] | And he treated us like a man |
| [00:49.849] | Even the little children that no one cares for |
| [00:52.450] | He called up everyone |
| [00:55.502] | And he gave us food and treated everyone |
| [00:59.423] | With a special love |
| [01:01.435] | Many people see I many people ask I |
| [01:04.358] | Why am I a rastaman |
| [01:07.129] | But he taught I the love |
| [01:10.672] | To give to everyone |
| [01:13.267] | Many people see I many people ask I |
| [01:16.498] | Why am I a rastaman |
| [01:19.69] | There is no better way to express my love |
| [01:22.271] | To each and everyone |
| [01:25.671] | One Saturday morning |
| [01:28.19] | A special thing happend to this man |
| [01:31.253] | Here come Mr Babylon |
| [01:33.937] | He take away the rastaman |
| [01:36.762] | To the root of him herb |
| [01:38.03] | And the meat of him fruit |
| [01:40.624] | And throw it in a van |
| [01:42.854] | And staight up brother for trillion years |
| [01:45.653] | I never see the rastaman |
| [01:48.314] | They took him to general penitentiary |
| [01:51.127] | And send him back as a valid man |
| [01:54.689] | But that could not change him his mind |
| [01:56.947] | Was not in prison was only his body man |
| [02:00.949] | Many people see I many people ask I |
| [02:03.354] | Why am I a rastaman |
| [02:06.585] | No matter how hard the battle be |
| [02:09.414] | I still have jah in my hand |
| [02:12.677] | Many people see I many people ask I |
| [02:15.252] | Why am I a rastaman |
| [02:18.524] | How sweet the name of jah jah song |
| [02:21.374] | To every righteous rastaman |
