Lyrics

Vampire

Obadiah Obadiah

Jah Jah sent us here to catch vampire

Obadiah Obadiah

Jah Jah sent us here to catch vampire

We have the chalice to lite up Jah fire

When I am nigh catch them vampire

I am nigh I go set them on fire

I-man troddin' down the unity lane

See a deadlocks running down a rasta man

Swear that if he catch him he will kill him dead

The deadlocks couldn't catch the rasta man

Obadiah Obadiah

Jah Jah sent us here to catch vampire

Obadiah Obadiah

Jah Jah sent us here to catch vampire

We have the chalice to lite up Jah fire

When I am nigh catch them vampire

I am nigh I go set them on fire

A true rasta man

No go shop no bin shop(???!)

A true rastaman

Does not gamble

A true rastaman

Does not play card pack

A true rastaman

Always humble

Obadiah Obadiah

Jah Jah sent us here to catch vampire

Obadiah Obadiah

Jah Jah sent us here to catch vampire

We have the chalice to lite up Jah fire

When I am nigh catch them vampire

I am nigh I go set them on fire

A true rastaman

No firing they a gun

A true rastaman

No throwin they a bomb

A true rastaman

E no drink the drum (?)

A true rastaman

Does not gamble

Obadiah Obadiah

Jah Jah sent us here to catch vampire

Obadiah Obadiah

Jah Jah sent us here to catch vampire

We have the chalice to lite up Jah fire

When I am nigh catch them vampire

I am nigh I go set them on fire

Babylon a man they sing

And they blame it on the rastaman

Babylon a man they sing

They blame it on the rastaman

Obahiah Obadiah

Jah Jah sent us here to catch vampire
