very thnx!!!

No disrespect, and nice attempt, but some of the lyrics above make no sense at all.

Also, the reference to Obadiah is not to an Obeahman - Obadiah is an old testament prophet - check your Bible.

Try the below...

Obadiah Obadiah
Jah Jah send us here to ketch vampire
Obadiah Obadiah
Jah Jah send us here to ketch vampire
I have the chalice to lite up Jah fire
When I&I catch dem vampire
I&I a go set dem a fire

I-man trod up down a unity lane
See a dreadlocks running down a rasta man
Swear that if him catch him him will kill him down
The dreadlocks couldn't catch the rasta man

[chorus]

A true rastaman no go shop a bin shop
A true rastaman do not gamble
A true rastaman do not play card pack
A true rastaman always humble

[chorus]

A true rastaman no fya no long gun
A true rastaman no throw homemade bomb
A true rastaman him no drink fe drunk
A true rastaman do not gamble

[chorus]

Babylon a mash up the scene
And blaming the rastaman
Babylon a mash up the scene...
And blaming the rastaman

many a true rastamen shop in bin shops... lol, where else would they buy their bins?

or perhaps it is

a true rastaman nuh catch up a bettinghop
a true rastaman do not gamble

bettingshop yes ...

Bin shop betting shop..... That made me smile so much

Hi Jah Rose,

Not sure if you are familiar with my website, but the lyrics were already online here:

@Survival: it's an old revived post. At the time of posting (2006) it probably wasn't.
