Why a Rasta Cake you'd like to say? It was made for a special 21st Birthday. Her son was a handful and liked to smoke weed, she decided a Rasta Cake was just what they need. The Rasta Birthday turned out quite a jol, with this Rasta Cake complete with a zol.

 

Some things to know about the Rastafarian religion:

The Rastafarian religion started off in Africa . It is often linked with the poorer black population of Jamaica . It is not just a religion, but a way of life. Rastafarians speak out against; poverty, cruelty and unfairness, not just religious ideas but global problems. Rastafarians will use the Holy Piby, the Kebra Nagast and the Bible (interpreted with a Rasta Soul) for guidance.

 

Here are some lyrics from the famous Bob Marley song Buffalo Soldier:

 

Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

I mean it, when I analyze the stench -
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier,
And he was taken from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Buffalo soldier troddin through the land, wo-ho-ooh!
Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand,
Troddin through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea.
