Rasta Rise Again - Macka B

Rastafari can never die

Living for-I-ver and I-ver

Whatcha want, the whole world to come to a' end?

Rasta rise again!

Rasta rise again

I know dat Babylon dem inna big problem

Amen fi dem

Rasta rise again

I know dat Babylon dem inna big problem

Amen

Mi sorry fi the dread dem who run to the barber

Dash 'way all the oil for the scissors and razor

Sorry fi the dread dem who start nyam swine

I betcha didn’a nyam a long time

'Cau' the dread should a-wait

He should a-have faith

And when him reach the barber gate

He should a-meditate

And tink again

Rasta cyaan end

'Cause everyting gone right 'round to rasta again

Some man did a gwaan like rasta did dead

Dead because from offa di med

Put down di sensimilla and put down the lamb’s bread

Pick up the cocaine and the crack instead

Stop pray to His Majesty before them go a-bed

Start fi tell people how dem bad and wicked

Start fi nyam sausage between a-the bread

Start fi eat all the meat and fi lef' all the veg

But we rise again

I know dat Babylon dem inna big problem

Amen fi dem

Rasta rise again

I know dat Babylon dem inna big problem

Amen

A long time Jah call me

Put me as a soldier in Selassie I army

Tell me how father

Jah Jah gi' me di inspiration so mi haffi chant it

Jah Jah gi' me di seed a' righteousness

So mi a-plant it

Lucifer a-tempt me with di coke and mi nuh want it

Lucifer a-tempt me with the wine and mi nuh want it

Lucifer a-tempt me with the swine and mi nuh want it

Lucifer a-tempt wi all the time

But we rise again

I know dat Babylon dem inna big problem

Amen fi dem

Rasta rise again

I know dat Babylon dem inna big problem

Amen fi dem

But we rise again

I know dat Babylon dem inna big problem

Amen fi dem

Rasta rise again

I know dat Babylon dem inna big problem

Amen fi dem

Rasta are di ruler

Emperor Selassie I the Lion of Judah

Conquering Lion inna Zion Ethiopia

First and the last

Him a' the alpha and omega

break the chain and cast the wicked man asunder

Rasta revolution happenin' inna Jamaica

Now yuh find another generation a' rasta

Even though some a' them are just imposter

Time is the master

'Cause we rise again

Ya know say Babylon dem inna big problem

Amen fi dem

Rasta rise again

Ya know say Babylon dem inna big problem

Amen fi dem

'Cau' the dread should a-wait

He should a-have faith

And when him reach the barber gate

He should a-hesitate
