about

“The track is a wonderful infusion of Roots sensibilities coupled with some pleasing attention to detail – not least the spellbinding electric guitars, which evoke something more Rock. With gorgeous chord progressions, an affecting, yet pleasing melody, and slick engineering, Make Way Rasta is a haunting and evocative effort from Clatta” – Mr Topple, Pauzeradio

lyrics

Eh
Eh yah yah yooo

RASTAFARI works must continue to luminate
Blaze the fyah light di path
Fi di youth dem find their rightful place


Make hay cause Babylon ah retool
To further dominate
Live good live long
To be that everlasting safety net

Woheh….

Make way Rasta
Make way Rasta
Make way, Make way
For generational progress
Make way Rasta
Make way Rasta
Make way, Make way
For generational freedom

RASTA own di charge to lead di youth through mentorship
We must
Guide the family to step away from
The welfare state

The young must see us strive to meet our goals
Purveyor of good sense in a senseless world
Connectors of the past and what’s needs be
ah keepers of ancestral keys

Ah we Haffi raise wi youth dem
Ah we Haffi teach the young

Make way Rasta
Make way Rasta
Make way, Make way
For generational progress
Make way Rasta
Make way Rasta
Make way Make way
For generational freedom


Oh oooooo
The slave master profits from our blindness
So he’ll never ever never teach us to see oh
Be well Rasta and be wholesome
Be that light that’s shining from the deep


Make way Rasta
Make way Rasta
Make way, Make way
For generational progress
Make way Rasta
Make way Rasta
Make way Make way
For generational freedom
