I-man say don’t make jah body a graveyard for de dead animals,
We are the children of the Rastaman we are the children of the higher man
I believe in freedom for everyone, not just the black man.
Yeah, man. It's time to let de people get good herbs and smoke. Government's a joke. All dey wan' is ya smoke cigarettes and cigar. Some cigar wickeder den herb. Yeah, man, ya can't smoke cigar. Smoke herb. Some big cigar me see man wit', God bless! Me tell him must smoke herb.
Me never believe in marriage that muchmarriage is a trap to control me; woman is a coward. Man strong.
Do you have a record contract? I have a recording agreement. What's the difference? One is an agreement and one is a contract! I am a man who deals by ear.
What important is man should live in righteousness, in natural love for mankind.
Me personally as a man is nothing without the inspiration of JAH
No man can lead mean, we have to have unity.
The biggest man you're ever going to see was once a baby.
Every man should have the right to choose their destiny.
As a man sow, shall he reap. and I know that talk is cheap. But the heat of the battle is as sweet as the victory.
You entertain people who are satisfied. Hungry people can't be entertained - or people who are afraid. You can't entertain a man who has no food.
Life and Jah are one in the same. Jah is the gift of existence. I am in some way eternal, I will never be duplicated. The singularity of every man and woman is Jah's gift. What we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to Jah. The process of what that struggle becomes, in time, the Truth.
