Peter Tosh - Lion Lyrics
This song sayin lion iron but you cant go to zion see for example there are lots of guys who were dreadlocks who is one million miles away from rasta there are like night to day.
See and I know concept of rasta mean righteousness.
You talkin' about lion, iron, but you can't go to zion
Talkin' about lion, iron, but you far from zion
I only hear you words
You think my father's a fool
You never get away
No matter what you say
Cause you have broken my father's rule
And then you come around, lion, iron, but you can't go to zion
Talkin' 'bout lion, iron, but you far from zion
Knots on your head
Talkin' 'bout you dread
And you believe, that is all
Long hair on your face
You and the wicked them must fall
And then you talk about lion, iron, but you can't go to zion
Talkin' 'bout lion, iron, but you far from zion
Preach lot in the days
And you kill in the nights
And you believe, that is right
Put down your gun
Or your days will be done
You won't be around, to have no fun
So I am the lion, iron, and I must go to zion
I am the lion, iron, and I must go to zion
I am the lion, iron, and I must go to zion
Cause I am the lion, iron, and I must go to zion
No bet you, lion, iron, and I must go to zion
I am the lion, iron, and I must go to zion
Cause I am the lion, iron, and I must go to zion
No bet you, lion, iron
Dress back baldhead bwai
Step back likkle pick out tail bwai, me is a big bwai out dere

Peter Tosh Lion Comments
You denied Christ Bob Marley Tawabashi Peter The Rock we lift you Up in Love tot he Most high..I not listen thsi song move to Creation
dress back ball head boy, he not talking bout bob..
Nice tune
Peter The Tosh the only reggae Lion living in Zion
Jaaahhhhhhh
Rip bro
You cant go to Zion?!!
Lion says number seventeen
Zion says Seven in
I'm IN!!!
Si bob marley et le roi du reggae toi tu es le zamouray reggae Mr. Peter TOSH RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr.!!!!!
i am Jewish and i can say Peter is a prophet and a saint and brought me closer to god. he was fighting for the black man and I know we Jews have a different path to conquer than the path black people need to conquer, but we both need to break through the mentality of 400 years of slavery and both decedents of king Solomon. Jah is Jehovah- one god
😍😍😍😍😍
Tosh je ne pas lui comparé il reste toujours grand
!!Much Respect!!
It looks like he is taking about Bob
Such a shame for Peter he went through some police brutality ,hostility and still kept writing beautiful music for us to enjoy ,he didn't want to be the backing singer for Marley so he went solo and gave us his best ,a true reggae legend thank you for your words Peter rest in Zion in peace brother ,
tosh is still the best sorry bob and sons
U there, haven spoken truth.
righteousness=Rasta
A lion is a Lion
Lovely way to convey a wonderful message. Nice tune.
Talking bout lion, iron but you can't go to Zion.. fake rastas wearing locks and fake colors
Crazy coincidental how many "real rastas" happen to be in the comment section of reggae songs on YouTube.
Peter tosh he is in Zion
rasta means righteousness build your temple from withinnot your dreads and break breadstop talking ....its about action
continuo no conceito de que é uma resposta para iron lion zion de bob marley, pesadíssimo, viva Tosh.
fue la oveja libre del jah el mas provocador love forever
otro rey de reggae hay mas de uno. one love
POLSKA PRZEJMUJE!!!1
Most people forget that peter brought rasta and reggae to bob marley. Few of the songs that bob sings, peter created
Reggae didnt exist when Peter came to Bob and Bunny
yet peter humble enough to know competition is a waste of time.
truth must be told
subg88 don't say bullshit, Toots and the Maytals invented first reggae by their song Do the reggay
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻Rasta
The next August 1971 Wailers yielded two songs, Lion and Here Comes the Sun. The song is an attack on wolves in sheep's clothing---the dreadlocks ghetto gunman who preach love in the day and kill in the nights. Peter sings and plays organ with just Bunny on harmony here.
please explain. I can't understand the last spoken words.
Please share a link , it would be blessed to listen
this song sayin lion iron but you cant go to zion see for example there are lots of guys who were dreadlocks who is one million miles away from rasta there are like night to day.
see and i know concept of rasta mean righteousness.
ANCIENT 💥💥💥 KONGO 🔥🔥🔥 I ✨✨✨
I ones saw a guy with a kind of rasta cap with fake dreads; it was absolutely disgusting.
That would be embarassing.
Jah rastafari ~
JAH LLLLLLLLION!
de original...............nuff blessings jah love
THE PRINCE OF REGGAE
Thanks Bro :)
even though he made this song b4 Bob's iron lion Zion and he's talking about fashion dreads like Al Anderson the American guitarist from the 2nd original wailers. It does make you wonder especially after so many interviews when he says he knows so many secrets of this world that he wouldn't tell but that he would put it in song. or maybe in paranoid
Italy is Rasta
You should really do you resource before you comment , sorry but I'm a big Lover of Peter ;)
This song sayin lion iron but you cant go to zion see for example there are lots of guys who were dreadlocks who is one million miles away from rasta there are like night to day. See and i know concept of rasta mean righteousness. That is the meaning of the song.
Obviously he doesn't aim it at marley, he's aiming it at those who use rastafari for personal gain and wear dreads for style, rather than the true purpose
To be honest, i don't think people will ever stop debating the meaning of this, but its not a response to Iron Lion Zion. This came before that.
i dont get this song, it better not be referring to Bob Marley!!!, Bob had a song called Iron Lion Zion...if this is a response this is reprehensible!
é a minha vida!
peter was one of best.see you have to feel the riddim!!!!!
Yes it is! And to be honest, i didn't know that till i looked it up.
is that Bunny Wailer on background vocals?
sing it Peter!!!...
Real vibes rasta, rasta is all about positivity and righteous living put in action , doing Jah work not for the glory of man but the Almighty ! Tosh couldn't have said it any better!
He's fakin jamaican
where's the sound on this track?
you are man
som d JAH ,,,
I like your comment. It brought a smile to my face.
yes hes far but atleast he knows that rastafari is the right way
one love peter tosh
with his unconsciousness, he blind women, distracting their mission ... make them morally and physically sick.
for excessive brutality came from behind, many women wear diapers.
ladies do judgment and be attentive to yourself and what you do.
useful to be careful only to love oneself ... and be attentive to other
obserser mesdame messieur and if you are dealing with a rotten fruit
you seeking to make life miserable
natural oneness lion ras el buddah.....ijahm di lion
a real man is a man conscious of his actions ....
it does not have to be proud by showing that his way is the right one. never shown it ... discovers the truth is, it is a pathless land.
an unconscious man is a man who is not aware of the consequence of his actions.
he seeks to show awareness but is not aware of what he think or aware of what he does.
it propagates a false truth, these are false pretenses.
to collect and exhibit all his trophy.
natural oneness lion ras el buddah
I love it brother peter tosh
I fully agree with you clay2nine.
So right!
Dress back bald head bwoy lol..serious lyrics..gr8 album
He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me.
Psalm 55:18
Yes every action has a reaction! -learn this youngin you "are" in control of your destiny, controled by your action ,yes ,Peter ,was the man but would of been here still if not for pride///
well you could just as easily say that their talent killed them.If they werent so talented they might have have stayed together...its a nonsense argument."another place and time"??? ....so if Peter was an alcoholic he might have been in a bar when those guys called..so sobriety killed him!!!! like i said ,its a bullshit argument.
what will be will be . Peter is the man
uhhh ....yea but if he would of not been so proud, along with his cousins pride, they would of stayed together and probably been in some other place and time ,plus he new dem thugs was gunnin for em ,,,dont know? but pride killed them fo'sho''
didnt bullets kill Peter?
Your soo wrong , "The Wailers" = Peter , Bob , & Bunny , were greatest when ONE , they tried to recreate the assume trinity melodies they had when they went solo but never did achieve that original blend they had when young , what killed them was pride ,as you can hear in this songs and its intro :(
Long Live" The Burning Wailers"
Snoop LION
Great Point
Blessings ....
One love brother
SOUNDS LIKE PETER HAD BEEF WITH BOB NESTA
i am christian but
i love pete
he's in zion
It was good that Peter and Bob didn't remain in the same band. Both men had too much lessons for the world through their messageful songs. Remaining in the same band would have suppressed some of these great songs that we are listening to today.
One of the best songs ever !!!!!
Dress back ball head bwoy LOL RASTAFARI!!!!
Preach love in the days, and you kill in the nights and you believe that is right..nuff people ah trod so..serious lyrics..
JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
this is MUSIC. Forever bless jah!
Not too many that are the "REAL DEAL". * LION, your far from ZION*
@TheZionfyah he says "dress back baldheadbwoy" ! for sure i asked chezidek, hes a big jamaican singer and know !
"Knots on your head, talkin bout your dread, and you believe that is all.."
@mediahater I HAVE ASKED CHEZIDEK ! HE SAYS THAT THIS AINT NO BOB DISS ! at min 3.32 he says "dress back baldhead bwoy" .
@fock75 Blessings...
rastafari-I
@TheRickynow me neither. its "bless bob marley bwoy" or "(a)dress at bob marley bwoy" . i really cant decide... but why would peter say that bob thinks his father is a fool ?
@mediahater I have never been able to hear it clearly enough to tell. Interestingly, lyrics sites can't seem to agree either!
@TheRickynow what he say 3.32 - end ?
@N4LO I am so pleased you like it!
@TheRickynow you're right, i bought today this album....it is wonderful! :)
@marloes5 great album overall, noticed little green apples wasn't up so i uploaded it now
