Rastaman Live Up! Lyrics

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! (Yeah)
Congoman, don't give up!

Trodding through creation
In a irie meditation
Seen many visions
Inna dis 'ya Armageddon
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 ah 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!
Ah 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!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
