[Culture - Rastaman a Come lyrics]
Crown Him with many a crowns
Kings of Kings and Lords of Lords
The Conquering Lion, Tribe of Judah
Haile Selassie selah
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
Ja is powerful, Jah is eternal
He say he shall come in a new name
Which shall sound the terrible
And dreadful among men
His name is Jah, Rastafari
Who lit all lightning who shook
And tremble all earth
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
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
Lickle Dread, Selassie I
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
Sound ye the trumpet of Zion
That the inhabitants of Earth may see it
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
It's not a big song
Neither a small song, Irie
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
It's not a jigsaw neither a puzzle
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
Me no have fi have no spliff
Me no have fi have no pipe
Just to see when the Rastaman a come
