Raggy Road - Capleton

Jah!

Rastafari…

And I saw an I-ngel ascended from the East

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

The Most High

And He cried out with a loud voice, sayin'

Oh oh…

It’s a raggy road

The road is so rough

A raggy road

The road is so tough

A raggy road

Road is so rough

Raggy road

Yeah, yeah, yeah

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

And mi career nuff of dem want fi soil

Hey, hey

Troddin' this road for the longest while

And never yet try pop off all another man’s coil

Troddin' this road for the longest while

A long time, David house, and dem no stop till the soil

Troddin' this road for the longest while

And give away more than 1/10th of the spoil

Troddin' this road for the longest while

And still my lamp never run out of oil

This yah one yah a fi real

Go tell dem anuh bargain, tell dem anuh deal

Nuff of dem no 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’s meal

Unuh deaf, unuh dumb, unuh blind fi go feel

One man was worthy to open the seal

Emperor Selassie I, I know He’s real

Babylon get trampled under mi heel!

Troddin' this road for the longest while

And give away more than 1/10th of the spoil

Troddin' this road for the longest while

And still my lamp never run out of oil

Well, nuff of dem go get throw overboard

Like Henry Morgan with the pirate code

Nuff of dem a trod upon corruption road

Nuff of dem a trod with Satan heavy load

True dem promote death, dem dead fi wreath and rose

The Binghi man no model, Binghi man no pose

And dem give the ghetto youth dem gun fi shoot dem brother down

Babylon, your judgement haffi come!
