Rastaman Live Up! Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rastaman, live up!
Bongoman, don't give up!
Congoman, live up, yeah!
Binghi-man don't give up!
Keep your culture
Don't be afraid of the vulture!
Grow your dreadlock
Don't be afraid of the wolf-pack!

Rastaman, live up!
Binghi-man, don't give up!
Congoman, live up, yeah!
Bongoman, don't give up!

[Verse 2]
David slew Goliath with a sling and a stone
Samson slew the Philistines with a donkey jawbone
Iyaman, live up!
Rastaman, don't give up!
Binghi-man, live up!
Congoman, don't give up!

[Verse 3]
Trodding through creation in a irie meditation
Seen many visions in-a this yah Armagiddyon
Rastaman, live up!
Congoman, don't give up!
Rastaman, live up, yeah!
Natty Dread, no give up!

[Verse 4]
Saw it in the beginning, so shall it be in this iwa
And they fallen in confusion, well-a just a step from Babel Tower
Rastaman live up!
Congoman, no give up!
Rastaman live up, yeah!
Congoman, no give up!
Grow your dreadlocks
Don't be afraid of the wolf-pack!
A-tell you, one man a-walking
And a billion man a-sparking

[Outro]
Rastaman, live up!
Binghi-man, don't give up!
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up!
