I Man A Rasta
[Chorus]
I'm a revolutionist, away from deh
I man no deal with capitalist, I'm a Rastaman
I'm a revolutionist, away from deh
I man no deal with capitalist, I go repatriate

[Verse 1]
These are the times when chains are pulled from Israel feet
I'm wondering why we nah go live in peace
You better open your eyes and fight for your rights or you will die
I am gonna leave my tribe of Israelites
And fight for their rights (That's why them say)

[Chorus]
I'm a revolutionist, I'm a Rastaman
I man no deal with capitalist, away from deh
I'm a revolutionist, I go repatriate
I man no deal with capitalist (Lord, Lord, Lord)
Away from deh

[Verse 2]
We are Jah Jah children, we are Israelites
We're passing through people of the far east sea
You can't stop them to preach the gospel of Jah Jah, for it's so right
We're gonna have to fight for many day and nights, but it's alright
I say, we're going to the land, that promised land called Africa
That's where I'm bound
[Outro]
I'm a revolutionist, a so dem say
But I man no deal with no capitalist, I'm a Rastaman
I'm a revolutionist, I go repatriate
I man nah deal with no capitalist, I'm a righteous man
I'm a revolutionist, a revolutionist
I man nah deal with no capitalist (Lord, Lord)
I'm a revolutionist, I'm a Rastaman
