Lyrics
I never know, but I know now,
I was previously unaware, but I understand now.
I never know, but I know now.
Reiteration of newfound understanding.
Why the heathens them a fight I so,
Questioning why non-believers are opposing the speaker.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
The hostility towards the speaker is solely because they are a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Reiteration of being targeted due to being a Rastafarian.
They sit in council against I&I
Others conspire against the speaker.
We have become a scorn unto them
The speaker and their community are scorned by others.
We have been oppressed and despised by the heathens,
The Rastafarians have faced oppression and disdain from non-believers.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
Reiteration of being mistreated due to being a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Continued emphasis on facing discrimination as a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
Reiteration of being targeted due to being a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Continued emphasis on facing discrimination as a Rastafarian.
They give a strong arm, they take the rights,
They use force to deprive the speaker of their rights.
And them they fight with all of their might,
They vigorously oppose the speaker.
They brutalize and they scandalize,
They subject the speaker to brutality and scandal.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
Reiteration of facing mistreatment due to being a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Continued emphasis on discrimination faced as a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
Reiteration of being targeted due to being a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Continued emphasis on facing discrimination as a Rastafarian.
Oh yeah, it's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Stressing the cause of mistreatment as being a Rastafarian.
They give us the wrong and they take the right
They manipulate justice against the speaker.
And them they fight with all of their might,
They fiercely oppose the speaker.
They brutalize and they scandalize,
They subject the speaker to brutality and scandal.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
Reiteration of facing mistreatment due to being a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Continued emphasis on discrimination faced as a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
Reiteration of being targeted due to being a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Continued emphasis on facing discrimination as a Rastafarian.
They sit and take us against I&I
Others conspire against the speaker.
We have become a scorn unto them
The speaker and their community are scorned by others.
We have been oppressed and despised by the heathens,
The Rastafarians have faced oppression and disdain from non-believers.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
Reiteration of being mistreated due to being a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Continued emphasis on facing discrimination as a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman
Reiteration of being targeted due to being a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Continued emphasis on facing discrimination as a Rastafarian.
It's just because I'm a hopeful man,
The speaker remains hopeful despite adversity.
It's just because I'm a hopeful one.
Stressing resilience and hopefulness despite challenges faced.
They sit and take us against I&I,
Others conspire against the speaker.
It's just because I'm a hopeful man,
Emphasis on maintaining hope despite opposition.
It's just because I'm a hopeful one,
Stressing resilience and hopefulness despite challenges faced.
It's just because I'm a Rastaman.
Reiteration of being targeted due to being a Rastafarian.
