Dread To Be Rasta

You haffe dread to be Rasta

Some little man a imposter

You haffe to dread to be a lion

Some little man ago a Zion

Let me tell you a story

About Rasta

Rasta was born in 1930

By the great patriot, Leonard Howell

Due to philosophy, dem scorn him

Send him to prison, madhouse and kill him

You haffe dread to be Rasta

Some little man a imposter

You haffe to dread to be a lion

Some little man ago a Zion

I traveled the days

When Ion trod through gully

Now some little werewolf

A gwan like skully

Rasta a soldier

So no crossover

You haffe dread to be Rasta

Some little man a imposter

You haffe to dread to be a lion

Some little man ago a Zion

What about the covenant

And our identity

Some man dread because of Bob Marley

Some man dread because dem smoke collie

Some man come with dem own philosophy

Some man come with dem own identity

Nyahbinghi a no breaching

Theocracy a one teaching

You haffe dread to be Rasta

Some little man a imposter

You haffe to dread to be a lion

Some little man ago a Zion
