Raggy Road

Jah Rastafari, and I saw an I-angel ascended from the east

Having the seal of the living King, Emperor Haile Selassie I

The Most High and He cried out with a loud voice, sayin'

Oh, oh, it's a raggy road, road is so rough

Raggy road, road is so tough

Raggy road, a road is so rough

Raggy road

Well, I been troddin' this road for the longest while

And me career nuff a dem want fi soil

Troddin this road for the longest while

And never yet try profit off all another man toil

Troddin this road for the longest while

A long time in this house and me no stop till the soil

Troddin this road for the longest while

And give away more than one tenth of the spoil

Troddin this road for the longest while

And still me lamp never run outa oil

This the one you have fi feel

Tell dem a no bargain, tell dem a no deal

Nuff a dem nah want put dem shoulder to the wheel

So dem go rape, dem go rob and dem go kill and steal

All a try eat all a another man meal

Onu deaf, onu dumb, onu blind fi go feel

One man was worthy to open the seal

Emperor Selassie I, I know is real

Babylon get trampled under me heel

Raggy road, road is so rough

Raggy road, road is so tough

Raggy road, road is so rough

Raggy road

Well, I been troddin' this road for the longest while

And me career nuff a dem want fi soil

Troddin this road for the longest while

And never yet try profit off all another man toil

Troddin this road for the longest while

A long time in this house and me no stop till the soil

Troddin this road for the longest while

And give away more than one tenth of the spoil

Troddin this road for the longest while

And still my lamp never run outa oil

Well, nuff a dem go get throw overboard

Like Henry Morgan with the pirate code

Nuff a dem a trod upon corruption road

Nuff a dem a trod with Satan heavy load

True dem promote that dem and The bingi man no [Incomprehensible], bingi man no pose

Bingi man no wear up dem Babylon clothes

In a me turban and me Asian robe

Well, dem a come see, we come fi expose

The righteous works nuff try oppose

I see judgment a take dem evil at the sword

Judgment take dem and then dem explode

Well, it's a raggy road, road is so rough

Raggy road, road is so tough

Raggy road, a road is so rough

Raggy road

Immanuel road so rough

Raggy road

Selassie I road so tough

Raggy road

so rough

Raggy road

Well, Babylon dem have fi run

Now dem see the hour and how come dem a go run

I'm like the lightning and the thunder

Come fi conquer dem gun

I'm like the rain, I'm like the breeze

I'm like the river that run

I'm like the star, I'm like the moon

I'm just like the sun

And dem give the ghetto youth dem gun

Fi shoot dem brother down

Babylon you judgment a fi come

Raggy road, road is so rough

Raggy road, road is so tough

Raggy road, a road is so rough

Raggy road
