Jah Rastafari, and I saw an I-angel ascended from the east
Having the seal of the living King, Emperor Haile Selassie I
The Most High and He cried out with a loud voice, sayin' Oh, oh, it's a raggy road, road is so rough
Raggy road, road is so tough
Raggy road, a road is so rough
Raggy road Well, I been troddin' this road for the longest while
And me career nuff a *** want fi soil
Troddin this road for the longest while
And never yet try profit off all another man toil Troddin this road for the longest while
A long time in this house and me no stop till the soil
Troddin this road for the longest while
And give away more than one tenth of the spoil Troddin this road for the longest while
