Rastaman Live Up! Lyrics

[Bob Marley; Lee Perry]

            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!

            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!

            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!

            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-walkin';
            And a billion man a-sparkin'.

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