“Natty Pablo” is inspired by the many layers of Rastafarianism and the criticism it faced from the general public over the years, only to have come full circle with many of those same critics now following many of the lifestyle choices that Rastas have been advocating for years, from veganism to marijuana usage to spirituality and beyond. Jesse elaborates, “The reality is that many Rasta have helped steer people in the right way with what they have received from Creation, helping in the advancement of the nation. It has nothing to do with illegalities or physical warfare. It’s all about good people who are sometimes nameless who have little or nothing but do so much.” Jesse uses imagery conjuring the Narcos (such as Pablo Escobar) to show how the public may view Rastas as criminals, but the reality he is showing – and that he lives by – is that Rastas are giving back to their communities in abundance. Rastas “ain’t nothing like the Narcos….” They are “smuggling the truth / giving to the destitute.”

Intro:
Truth is the truth you know!
One day it will all reveal
Legal!
Can’t hide from the youts dem
Zeen!
Verse 1
Streets Watching, People keep eavesdropping
See it happen but nah tell the beast nuttin’
Squeeze dozen the whole universe open
Some say dem a goat, dem mussi mean mutton.
Heads bopping and the feet tapping
Small Axe, tree chopping
What a go happen when the beat drop in
Dem ya style ya dem nuh need nuh pen
Chorus
Ain’t nothing like the Narcos
Tell me weh we can’t go
With this contraband inna we cargo
Call him Natty Pablo...
They call him Natty Pablo
Kilimanjaro!
Ain’t nothing like the Narcos
Tell me weh we can’t go
With this contraband inna we cargo
Call him Natty Pablo...
They call him Natty Pablo
Kilimanjaro!
Verse 2
Smuggling the truth, tending to the destitute
Breaking down the system that they built to keep we mute
Dutty Bookman resurrected
Anointed not elected
Energized and ready
Thanks to Dr. Sebi
Top striker like ‘Naldo
El Jefe head hancho
St James to St Andrew
Swallowfield a gotchu
Weather change when I pass thru
Watering the grass root
I will never forget you
Chorus
Ain’t nothing like the Narcos
Tell me weh we can’t go
With this contraband inna we cargo
Call me Natty Pablo...
They call me Natty Pablo
Kilimanjaro!
Ain’t nothing like the Narcos
Tell me weh we can’t go
With this contraband inna we cargo
Call me Natty Pablo...
They call me Natty Pablo
Kilimanjaro!
Verse 3
Mi coulda spend a Million, USD
Buy a property up in the hills of Beverly
But mi prefer dump it in the community, and give di poor a sense of stability
Cah the Government nah do a damn ting for we
Good ting we know fi work the land and seas
From the visions inna green then invest in some dreams
Cause all some people need is opportunity!
Chorus
Ain’t nothing like the Narcos
Tell me weh we can’t go
With this contraband inna we cargo
Call me Natty Pablo...
They call me Natty Pablo
Kilimanjaro!
Ain’t nothing like the Narcos
Tell me weh we can’t go
With this contraband inna we cargo
Call me Natty Pablo...
They call me Natty Pablo
Kilimanjaro!
