Whether you are ballhead
Whether you are dread (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Cool, Rasta man cool (Cool Rasta man)
No make your heart fi trouble an' get you to break rule
Cool, I-ya dreads cool (I-ya dreader than dread)
No make no heathens turn you in a no fool
[Verse 1]

It’s been a long time (A true)
All among the nation
Hunger an' lots of tribulation (A true)
Now I've seen the light (A true)
I won’t have to fuss or fight
Jah Jah, he is the lord (So, hear I)
[Chorus]
Cool, Rasta man cool
No make your heart fi trouble an' get you to break rule
Cool, I-ya dreads cool
No make no heathens turn you in a no fool (A true)
[Verse 2]
You stroll down the road (A true)
With your face like heavy load

You were boden using (A true)
And you can not win
Righteousness is a good thing (You know)
[Chorus]
Cool, Rasta man cool (Cool Rasta man, Rasta man)

Cool, I-ya dreads cool (I-ya dreader than dread)
No make no heathens turn you in a no fool (A true)
[Verse 3]
With all those ism (A true)
You will go to prison
And in [?] road (A true)
You step that gun 'way (A true)
You hear what I sayin'?
Get out your childish ways, be a good Naya dread (You know)
[Chorus]
Cool, Rasta man cool
No make your heart fi trouble an' get you to break rule
Cool, I-ya dreads cool
No make no heathens turn you in a no fool
