Peter Tosh song “Rastafari Is” – Rasta Vibes | Church Lyrics

Tweet

As powerful and captivating as Peter Tosh’s delivery in this song “Rastafari Is”, the lyrics will have you scratching your head! They read like a typical church song? Which leads to the question; Are Rastas just Christians with Dreadlocks | Turbans adorned in Red, Green & Gold?

How problematic is it that Rasta’s core principles are so closely intertwined with that of the Christian Faith! Tosh on stage is in full Rasta mode but the lyrics when read replicates those that can be heard bellowing from the church pews on Saturdays and Sunday’s! Food for thought.

See song lyrics below!

Rastafari.. is..
Rastafari.. is..
Yes He is;
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.

He’s the mighty, mighty one.
Thunderable, thunderable one.

Yes He is;
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.

He’s the omnipotent, omnipotent one.
Magnificent, super, magnificent one,

Yes He is;
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.

Rastafari, Rastafari is.
Rastafari.. is..

Yes He is;
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.

(..)

Rastafari.. is..
Rastafari.. is..
Yes He is;
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.

You better worship, worship Him,
You better praise, praise Him.

‘Cause He is;
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
Lords of Lords and Saviour.
