Peter Tosh Lyrics
" Mystic Man " I'm a Mystic Man
I'm just a Mystic Man

I man don't
I don't drink no champagne
No I don't
And I man don't
I don't sniff them cocaine
Choke brain

I man don't
No I don't
Don't take a morphine
Dangerous

I man don't
I don't take no heroin
No no no

(CHORUS)
'Cause I'm a man of the past
And I'm livin' in the present
And I'm walking in the future
Stepping in the future
Man of the past
And I'm livin' the present
And I'm walking in the future

I'm just a mystic man
Got to be a mystic man

I man don't
Eat up your fried chicken
Not lickin'

I man don't
Eat up them frankfurters
Garbage

I man don't
Eat down the hamburger
can't do that
I man don't
Drink pink, blue, yellow, green soda
(CHORUS)

Just a mystic man
Got to be a mystic man

I man don't
No I don't
Play fools' games on Saturday

And I man don't
No I don't
Congregate on a Sunday

Such a mystic man
Just a mystic man

(CHORUS)

Just a mystic man
Got to be a mystic man Peter Tosh, born Winston Hubert McIntosh (19 October 1944 -- 11 September 1987) was a reggae musician who was a core member of The Wailers who then went on to have a successful solo career as well as being a trailblazer for the Rastafari movement.
Tosh grew up in the Kingston, Jamaica slum of Trenchtown. He stood out because of his height at 6 feet, 5 1/2 inches. His short-fuse temper and unveiled sarcasm usually kept him in trouble, earning him the nickname Steppin' Razor after a song written by Joe Higgs, an early mentor. He began to sing and learn guitar at a young age, inspired by the American stations he could pick up on his radio. After an illustrious career with The Wailers and as a solo musician, he was murdered at his home. Robbery was said to be the motivation behind Tosh's death.
