lyrics

Now this one goes out to all ganja man uno hafe free up the herb Babylon Now this one goes out to all Rastaman big up yourself Rasta woman

Lord I was born a RastaMan
trying to make a living growing ganja the best I can
and when it’s time fi leave here, well I hope you overstand that I was born a Rastaman

Well my father was a family man born in Cuba
and he wound up on the wrong end of a sticky situation (tribulations) and I was born and raised inna Miami, FLA
rolling down Federal Highway- Jah knows
Lord I was born a Rastaman
trying to make a living singing songs of freedom I say (Free-free-freedom) and when it’s time to leave here I hope you understand
that I was born Rastaman

Well I’m on my way to Costa Rica this morning (Pura Vida)
and I’m leaving out of San Francisco Bay
they’re always having Pura Vida down inna Puerto Viejo they say and Wolaba women just think the world of me

Lord I was born Rastaman
trying to make a living singing songs of freedom I say and when it’s time to leave here I hope you overstand that I was born a Rastaman

Light it up
Ganja man
Farmer man
FYAH MAN
LIGHT IT UP LIGHT IT UP BURN IT UP

Lord I was born on Rastaman
trying to make a living growing ganja the best I can (Ganja farmer) and when it’s time to leave here well I hope you overstand
that I was born Rastaman
Lord I was born Rastaman (Legalize it)
Jah knows I was born a ganja man (Legalize it)
When it’s time fi leave here I hope you overstand that I was born Rastaman LEGALIZE IT
