And she didn't know how to tell him She was in love with a Rasta man Fire was burnin' and burning To let out what she was holding in And she didn't know how to tell him She was in love with a Rasta man Fire was burnin' and burning To let out what she was holding in I know her story before she say it Daddy just want her cooperate Find somebody that's corporate Suit and tie more appropriate (cha) Him say him nah make him daughter stray But Reggae music she start fi play it Ital food when she salt her plate Militant youth weh she want fi date And that is what she need Marcus Garvey she start fi read Hair stop comb and it start look neat So him want keep her off the street from Who she with and that be me More than a natty head is what she see No lovers leap is not for me And she nuh waa keep it a secret But she can't tell him who she sleep with And she didn't know how to tell him She was in love with a Rasta man Fire was burnin' and burning To let out what she was holding in And she wants to be free From all this captivity So she'll be who she will be They can't tell her who she need They can't tell her who she want who she can't She talk her owner chant Chart her owner apart And follow her owner heart Call me over her own apartment Now as I answer the phone that's the tone she start with She know say she don't fi part with One like I even though so much impart it So she haffi do her owner thing 'Cause she can never live life for them Knowing that she would look back when To the time weh she Couldn't explain to him 'cause then And she didn't know how to tell him She was in love with a Rasta man Fire was burnin' and burning To let out what she was holding in And she didn't know how to tell him She was in love with a Rasta man Fire was burnin' and burning To let out what she was holding in
You will find the lyrics funny if you are not Jamaican or someone who understands Patois. The lyrics are positive. It is telling us to have a mind of our own and stop being brainwashed by society.
if I had a daughter and she told she was in love with a rastaman I swear me and her man would become the best of friends 😂😂😂😂 would be smoking so much weed
